Generations unite in new Jurassic World Dominion featurette

In a summer box office destined to be dominated by superheroes and Tom Cruise, there’s at least one more franchise that could challenge for the crown. Jurassic World Dominion is not only a sequel to the hit Jurassic World films, but it’s also the first time in three decades that the main characters of Jurassic Park will be back in action. And if the sequel’s latest featurette is any indication, it’s shaping up to be a crossover of Endgame proportions.

The new video feature follows up on the recently released trailer that introduced Baby Blue, the daughter of Owen Grady’s raptor, Blue. It also reveals that Owen, Claire Dearing, and their adoptive daughter, Maisie Lockwood, have been living off the grid since Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. It’s appropriate since the state of the world is kind of their fault. Maisie made the call to set the dinosaurs free on an unsuspecting planet, and they’re making up for lost time.

According to the featurette, there are two intersecting storylines in the film. From Owen’s side, it’s his quest to reunite Blue with her kidnapped baby. And he will be getting some additional backup from Kayla Watts, a pilot who is sympathetic to his cause. It’s unclear how and why the original Jurassic Park trio — Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant, and Ellie Sattler — are back together again. But their story will bring them into contact with Owen and Claire.

A war begins in the new trailer for Dune: Part Two

By splitting Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel Dune into two parts, director Denis Villeneuve delayed the introduction of the story's primary villain: The Emperor of the Universe, Shaddam IV (Christopher Walken). But in the newly released trailer for Dune: Part Two, viewers finally get their first glimpse at the man who plotted the downfall of House Atreides. House Harkonnen may have struck the blow against their rival house, but Shaddam IV allowed it because he feared that the late Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac) would unseat him. But the Emperor has badly miscalculated, because Leto's son, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), is now poised to make Shaddam IV's fears into a reality.

With 2022's Jurassic World Dominion, the Jurassic Park franchise is at an end as we know it. However, knowing the cyclical nature of Hollywood, there's sure to be a reboot or reprisal, of sorts, somewhere down the line. Still, Dominion effectively capped off a three-decade-long journey that placed prehistoric creatures in the modern age. When the Steven Spielberg-directed Jurassic Park hit theaters in 1993, audiences were mesmerized by both the sheer grandeur and hypothetical terror of the semi-scientific thesis behind resurrecting a species that's been long extinct.

Despite the adaptation of Michael Crichton's popular novel of the same name which toyed with the philosophies of natural law, chaos, and the ambition of mankind, Jurassic Park entered the halls of cinematic glory for what it truly was - a masterfully entertaining sci-fi extravaganza. The amalgamation of practical and modern CGI effects created a visual delight scientists like the fictional Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) could only dream of. And it turns out, dinosaurs that amaze and terrify were just what audiences wanted. The film raked in the dough, and nearly 30 years later, Universal distributed the sixth film in the Jurassic franchise. Now the question becomes: how does each Jurassic film stack up against the rest?

The Jurassic World trilogy came to its epic conclusion with the third and final film, Jurassic World Dominion. Set four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom, dinosaurs now roam the Earth and struggle to coexist with humans. Owen Grady (Guardians of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Rocketman's Bryce Dallas Howard) are secretly living with and raising Maisie Lockwood (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's Isabella Sermon). Mercenaries eventually kidnap Maisie and Beta, the offspring of the Velociraptor known as Blue, forcing Owen and Claire out of hiding as they seek to find their adopted daughter.

Meanwhile, Dr. Alan Grant (Jurassic Park's Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Marriage Story's Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Independence Day's Jeff Goldblum) head to Italy to investigate Biosyn, a genetics corporation responsible for decimating crops in the U.S. through the use of genetically engineered locusts.
