GreyI just saw an old comment above about T. rex in JP, it is only 40ft something because they gave it a very short tail, the thing is 5m at the hips.

The mosasaur was announced since a long Maybe this is why I forgot it. I am sorry of course. If they use the maximum possible size, the result will certainly be spectacular, a 15-17 m mosasaur on the big screen, that's unprecedented. I wonder if they will use that size or maybe round up. Who knows?

As it should be. I think they showed the T. rex(es) in the first two movies far too early, as they did with the Spinosaurus. They shouldn”t kill the suspense that quickly by showing a giant mosasaur in all its glory too early in the movie. From there, it could only get worse…

Unless they have some super-mega-unannounced monster animal that will make the suspense skyrocket when all thought it can't get worse. Joke aside, I agree with you.

I’d like that, I’d like that very much. But it wouldn’t be in the spirit of a JP movie, which is supposed to at least be (loosely) based on real animals. Unless, of course, they include a Livyatan or Megalodon. But I’m afraid the latter is so overused in dumb unsophisticated monster movies that it will need a lot of work to get rid of that genre (and they may not be willing to use a cetacean as a "super-mega-unannounced" monster because they lack the scary reputation).

Livyatan would be nice. But that being said, this wouldn't cause a great hype. Looking at how much the amount of visitors and viewers dropped from the first to the fourth movie, I fear not many people will care about it. They'd need a really good comeback.

They shouldn”t kill the suspense that quickly by showing a giant mosasaur in all its glory too early in the movie. From there, it could only get worse… Actually in the first movie, there's about one hour of movie before the T. rex appears, and during the visit earilier, it doesn't appear to the visitors, just like the Dilophosaurus. Even in the second movie you have to wait one hour before seeing the rexes and the last part of the movie to see the raptors. Anyway, we'll probably see the Mosasaurus only a couple of times as it is aquatic and that most of the plot will be on land with others species. A first teaser of the movie has been seen privately by a small audience, to judge the reactions and see if they use it as the first official trailer (apparently with the release of Hunger Games 3 or Interstellar). There's apparently a sequence where the mosasaur is seen eating a large shark used as bait in its lagoon. Have a look : www.scified.com/site/jurassicworld/jurassic-world-trailer-description-potentially-leaked-onlineThat sounds good.

Ah, jurassic park. how I miss you. How much you've done for the dinosaur community. How you fueled my love of dinosaurs... But our trip down memory lane must come to an end. The once mighty trilogy has met defeat, reduced to a summer monster film, gone are the days of rexy and the big one, in their place, some genetic mixmash of sea cuttle, anaconda (or possibly Python), and some other species thrown in for good measure. Where once jurassic park was at the forefront of spreading dinoknowlege (for the most part), it now wishes to send out only chills and thrills, to bend the scientific boundaries to ther breaking point. To say, "the heck with it! Let's make a tyrannoconda cuttle! The audience eats up monster flicks like a whale eats krill!" While jurassic park wasn't exactly full proof, it was the first big film to show dinosaurs as what they are, animals, as apposed to monsters. We can only hope that somewhere, hidden in the dark jungles of the movie world, the true jurassic park is waiting, gaining strength, waiting to pounce on its wanna be, jurassic world. Sorry if that made me sound like some sort of zealot.

Sorry if that made me sound like some sort of zealot. Dont forget that the hybrid-like animal will be only a parr of the movie plot, all the other dinosaurs will be authentic species. It s not all about that creature. Trevorrow said they did not use something that was not suggested in the books i.e. to genetically modify dinosaurs so that they better correspond to the audience expectations. I think that the hybrid will end up killed by the raptors as the monster it is, showing that animals are just better. So wait n see, the first trailer is coming in few weeks.

Yes but check my points and beware about the premature conclusions.

There's no hostility from me, I just post here additionnal information which suggest to not blame JW to not respect the original JP. There are potentially promising elements.

OK, I hope you enjoy the film, I don't have much interest in it. It just dosnt have the same WOW factor of the trilogy. I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but none of the new directions really grabs me. I get that some others are excited, and I'm glad for them. But tyrannoconda cuttles arnt my cup of milk.
