Jurassic World Director Reveals Terrifying Possible Sequel Plot

Open-source dinosaurs? Now there’s a recipe for carnage if ever we heard one.

But it’s the possible direction for the sequel to the wildly well-received ‘Jurassic World’, according to director Colin Trevorrow.

In an interview with Wired magazine, the newest blockbuster director on the block explained that in the next instalment of the rebooted dino franchise won’t be limited to Isla Nublar, the cursed location of the prehistoric theme park.

“[It will not be] just a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island,” he said.

“That’ll get old real fast.”

Instead, the scope for breeding dinosaurs could be thrown wide open, meaning that other companies other than InGen, the conglomerate behind Jurassic World, could start their own genetic breeding programs.

“There are applications for this science that reach far beyond entertainment,” Trevorrow added.

“And when you look back at nuclear power and how that started, the first instinct was to weaponise it and later on we found it could be used for energy.

“I want to do my job in setting the table for something that can be rich and thoughtful and interesting.”

“And this isn’t something necessarily that was in the book but is a seed that I wanted to plant in this movie, is that might be able to grow in more of these movies if they decide to make more of them, is: What if this went open source? It’s almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?”

“And Dr Wu says in the film, when he’s warning Dr Mesrani, 'we’re not always going to be the only ones who can make a dinosaur’. I think that’s an interesting idea that even if we don’t explore fully in this film, there is room for this universe to expand.

“I shouldn’t use the word universe, because people will think we’re making a Jurassic World universe - we’re not.”

He’s not on board to direct the new movie – his successor has not been announced yet, and he’s being rumoured for ‘Star Wars 9′ anyway – but he will co-write it with Derek Connolly, who penned 'Jurassic World’ and Trevorrow’s breakthrough movie 'Safety Not Guaranteed’.

But the scope for what may come could ring bells with those familiar with previous iterations of the 'Jurassic Park’ myth - notably the word ‘weaponise’.

At one time a radical – and frankly bonkers – draft script for 'Jurassic Park IV’ was being floated, featuring 'genetically altered dinosaur soldiers’.

And it even got to development stage, with some utterly terrifying concept art claimed to have been mocked up by Industrial Light and Magic (though an ILM rep later said they didn’t think it was the company’s work) and concept artist Carlos Huante.

Way back in 2007, the film site Ain’t It Cool News published a synopsis from the draft, penned by John Sayles and Bill Monahan.

In it, a team of human-hybrid dinosaurs are, to an extent, 'weaponised’ and trained for military applications (they even have dog DNA implanted for loyalty), but it’s likely Trevorrow and Connolly won’t be going quite as far as Sayles and Monahan’s barking mad take on the JP storyworld.

But it’s certainly possible that some of the original characters from the first movies could return, most welcome of all perhaps being Jeff Goldblum’s chaos theory buff Dr Ian Malcolm.

This possibility is bolstered by mention of him hidden in some of the 'Jurassic World’ online marketing, released last Easter.

One online picture featured dino eggs with a QR code on them – which when scanned, took web users to a picture of a book 'God Creates Dinosaurs’ by Dr Malcolm, suggesting that he’s still somewhere to be found in this new expansion of Michael Crichton’s original novel.

Meanwhile, had other experiments by InGen been going on on Isla Sorna, the neighbouring island to Nublar, as featured in JP2 and 3?

The possibilities are there to be embellished, and with Trevorrow still at the helm plot-wise, it’s likely we can expect something impressive.

'Jurassic World’ recently slipped into third place in the highest-grossing movies of all time chart, with its staggering worldwide gross of $1.5 billion, landing it behind James Cameron’s 'Titanic’ and 'Avatar’, but likely to be rejigged once 'Star Wars VI’ lands at Christmas.
