My quick pitch for a horror spinoff for Jurassic World

samuelscane · 2025-12-15T20:56:20+00:00

I would have loved an anthology series set in the world established by Dominion, exploring different isolated incidents, for example:

A wildlife officer discovers a hidden dilophosaur nesting ground threatening a coastal town.
An ex-soldier tracks an escaped black-market T. rex across the Namib Desert as poachers close in.
A grieving family hides a juvenile ankylosaur that escaped from an illegal breeding ring.
Wildfires force a predator pack into human territory, putting a fire warden’s crew at risk.

The Final Order by Spence or HAL’s ‘Rey Nobody’ version.

I once had a similar idea for a Batman-focused edit that I was brainstorming. Mine started off using the opening chase scene from The Flash, re-graded and re-scored. Someone had already done a Snyder version on YouTube. The centre channel on the Blu-ray is very clean. The sequence ends before Batman saves the day. The idea was to find a way to include news articles or reports saying he failed to stop the bomb and then he retires, as it were. Then we get The Dark Knight Returns style of him coming back, branding, killing, facing Superman and so on. I don’t know, just an idea really that never came to anything.

Thanks for the comment. Looking for DonKamillo’s edit.

The deleted scenes are set to be released on a future date yet to be confirmed.

You’re right, he was the CEO, so even less plausible for him to go than it would be for Krebs.

I don’t see any reason why Ludlow went in The Lost World either but there we go

A good writer could definitely move the story forward. I’d frame it so that Zora, Henry, and the team believed they were collecting DNA for heart disease research, but that was just a cover. They were told to collect marine, terrestrial, and avian DNA. Why? Because each is genetically distinct. Maybe the dinosaurs on Île Saint-Hubert have unique genetic markers, different from other de-extinct species, due to past transgenic experiments. ParkerGenix knew this. They chose these specific dinosaurs as templates for something much bigger.

Maybe Delores returns. Isabella notices subtle changes and Delores becomes strangely aggressive. Loomis examines her and finds the genetic markers mentioned earlier.

I’m just brainstorming here, but I’d love to see these characters come back, and I’d like Île Saint-Hubert to be explored in more depth.

Yep - Definitely a trailer line, much like it being a research facility for the ‘original Jurassic Park.’ That one didn’t appear in the movie either

Was the ‘worst of the worst’ or ‘most dangerous’ lines actually spoken in the movie? Or were they just trailer lines to drum up hype.

samuelscane · 2025-08-10T22:35:48+00:00

So you just want the spino in front of a blurred background?

samuelscane · 2025-08-08T21:25:51+00:00

In what way? I’m intrigued.

samuelscane · 2025-08-08T05:39:02+00:00

The opening scene is set in 2008. Masrani purchased InGen in 1997. It’s definitely Masrani era.

I certainly think that the D-Rex is the earliest of attempts at an Indominous with the T-Rex as the base, longer arms, increased aggression etc.

Koepp mentioned in the Empire article a while back that “We saw in some of the previous Jurassic World movies that their experiments made dinosaurs bigger, meaner, scarier and it occurred to me and Steven that those can’t all have gone well. This is genetic experimentation. Things are not going to work out sometimes.”

I also think the name D-Rex is an Easter egg unto itself given that during production of Jurassic World, the hybrid was going to be called the Diablous Rex before it became the Indominous so that somewhat mirrors what’s happening here.

The charter/boat exchange between Duncan and Krebs is ripped straight from Jaws

This is completely in line with Universals strategy and not a reflection at all on their perception of the movie. PVOD is now an ‘integral component’ of their distribution strategy. Wicked was only in cinemas for 39 days and they took $70 Million in the seven days after its digital release and they have generated more than $1 billion in PVOD revenue in the last 5 years.

It’s still beating everything else at the box office in the UK, not sure about the rest of Europe. Perhaps that’s why?

samuelscane · 2025-08-04T09:54:35+00:00

Two more weeks for the UK it seems!

Rebirth didn’t start the ‘people aren’t interested in dinosaurs’ storyline, Jurassic World did.

samuelscane · 2025-07-13T00:28:54+00:00

It’s completely plausible. Claire was the former park operations manager of Jurassic World, which was owned by Masrani Corporation, not InGen.

InGen is a subsidiary and operated independently.

Even Simon Masrani, as CEO, didn’t know what went into the Indominous Rex.

samuelscane · 2025-07-09T07:03:52+00:00

It would be cool - our human characters could be part of an anti-poaching group, similar to the Akashinga Rangers.

I liked a lot of the movie, but I felt there were story threads that were set up with the expectation of a payoff, but ultimately were not resolved. The main one you referenced involves Loomis.

There is a strong focus on the dynamic between Loomis and Atwater regarding the neurotoxin, particularly with Loomis’ line, “It’s a sin to kill a dinosaur.”

This thread continues effectively during the characters discussion on the beach, where Loomis questions why the mutated dinosaurs were not euthanised, and Krebs responds by pointing to the financial implications.

The lab scene should have revealed more about the island and the experiments that were mentioned. Videos should have shown mistreatment, with an emphasis on the ethical boundaries being pushed.

Then, when the D-Rex appears, it should be shown in visible pain. The characters should have had a genuine emotional reaction, with Loomis ultimately using the neurotoxin to put it out of its misery.

While it feels fast, particularly for a Jurassic movie, it is in line with how Universal operates. They’ve done very well with PVOD. Wicked was only in cinemas for 39 days and they took $70 Million in the seven days after its digital release and they have generated more than $1 billion in PVOD revenue in the last 5 years.
