“You probably think I’m beautiful, but I’m not.”
Super model Tina Cassidy (Kathryn Witt) visits Hollywood plastic surgeon Larry Roberts with a specific list of tiny imperfections that need to be corrected at the request of Reston Industries, a producer of glossy television commercials. Dr. Roberts becomes curious when he realizes that several of his recent patients have had the same type of list.
What follows is a science fiction/police procedural that involves the murder of these same models. The police become suspicious when it is discovered that all the victims were patients of Dr. Roberts
Director/Writer Michael Crichton once again makes predictions based on emerging technologies. His first feature film, Westworld (1973), pioneered the use of digitized imagery to present the point of view of Yul Brynner’s android gunslinger.
In Looker, we have actors being converted to computerized images that may be manipulated through animation.

Will Jurassic World 3 take Rexy into the far reaches of the galaxy? As crazy of an idea as it may seem, it's quite possible that future installments in the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World franchise may feature our beloved dinos wreaking havoc outside of Earth's atmosphere. This was an out of this world idea that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director Ja Bayona says may be a possibility in the future.
This idea seemingly originated at ComicBook.com, who brought it to the attention of Ja Bayona and Bryce Dallas Howard, who both had some different opinions on the matter. While it could certainly be fun, Bayona didn't necessarily see it being in the immediate future of the franchise. Here is what the Fallen Kingdom director had to say on the matter.
"Maybe, I don't know. I think, somehow, what is interesting about the Jurassic franchise is that they reflect on...

Jurassic World… in space?
That’s the elevator pitch doing the rounds this morning after ComicBook.com caught up with Juan Antonio Bayona to discuss Fallen Kingdom and the immediate future of the dino series.
A third (and perhaps final?) movie is already on the cards, which will see Colin Trevorrow climb aboard to close the book – not unlike how J.J. Abrams returned in time for Star Wars: Episode IX after launching The Force Awakens back in 2015.
For Trevorrow, though, the first port of call will be to deliver a satisfying finale for Universal’s rebooted saga. And one of the strategies Cb suggested was to expand into space, where all sorts of sci-fi hijinks will ensue. Cloning and indeed resurrecting long-extinct species is one thing, but Fallen Kingdom‘s J.A. Bayona believes space travel may be a step too far.
