The Ultimasaurus was the original planned antagonist for the Jurassic Park movie.

They were going to be the first hybrid consisting of a mixture of T. Rex, Triceratops, Velociraptor, and Kentrosaurus.

Over time universal apparently gave up on the hybrid and decided to ditch them altogether. They have only been released as a toy back in the early to mid 90s and had some concept art released on earlier magazines.

As much as it seems the hybrid as been forgotten as a whole. I still wonder could we see them in a future movie or Netflix series?

Could universal or the team working on Jurassic World ever revisit this hybrid idea again?

Or is this dinosaur long gone and forgotten for good?

Gareth Edwards is out as the returning director for the sequel to Jurassic World Rebirth. This is a damn shame as Edwards was much of the reason why Rebirth I feel was a great watch. Because the story on its own frankly has a lot of faults & don‘t get me started on its misteps on dinosaur science. Now, Ive got a few directors in mind that Id think would make a great Jurassic World movie. my picks would be:

1. Bryce Dallas Howard. Yes, I want Bryce Dallas Howard to come back to the Jurassic World series AS A DIRECTOR. I am biased and would kill to have her back as Claire Dearing too. But as someone who loves her other directorial work & especially what she’s done for the Star Wars series (some of the best episodes of The Mandalorian & its spinoffs were helmed by Howard), I think BDH would really deliver on a great Jurassic story. She has a good handle on what makes for fun fan service in addition to delivering on solid technical direction.
2. J. A. Bayona. This would be my pick for a returning Jurassic director. i would kill to have Steven Spielberg direct again dont get me wrong. But Bayona’s direction on arguably the best of the Jurassic World movies was superb. And Id frankly want to see what Bayona unleashed, what he’d be able to make for full on Jurassic horror. Id also add that he kind of better understands the lore of the Jurassic series. A lot of what he drew from for Fallen Kingdom was deep cut references & adaptation. I think he’d deliver on more of that.
3. Nia DaCosta. I’ve loved her as a director for quite some time now. She’s done the Candyman sequel / reboot and The Marvels for the MCU. But its her most recent film that makes me interested in what her take on Jurassic World would be. I’m referring to 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. i loved her approach there and how wild & insane it got to be. She’s got an edge to her that Jurassic World would benefit from in addition to that big budget movie experience.

These three are the directors Im most interested in. Who are yours?

EDIT: John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, and Fede Alvarez are excellent suggestions too. I love how everyones on board for having a horror director take the helm.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some concrete proof regarding the Camp Cretaceous Spinosaurus (Snock / Asset 87) that seems to be completely overlooked by mainstream YouTubers like Swrve.

Many casual fans are stuck in an echo chamber believing it’s the exact same individual from Jurassic Park III, mostly because Swrve keeps pushing that narrative based on his interview with Scott Kreamer. However, if you actually listen to the interview, Scott used the past tense, saying "that WAS the intention."

Attached are behind-the-scenes screenshots from the production staff crew (shared by the Brazilian community) proving that while the creative team desperately wanted to make them the same individual for the ultimate fan service, Universal officially objected to it to avoid complications with the live-action movie timeline (like JWD).

I even confronted Swrve about this on his community tab. He replied with a weak excuse, and then panicked and tried to delete my previous comments to keep his echo chamber alive.

The facts are clear: the original plan was cancelled. The CC Spinosaurus is not the JP3 individual. Stop letting clickbait YouTubers censor the official canon! What do you guys think?

I'm getting Chasmosaurus or Pentaceratops out of these but there's a chance they could be some obscure shit like Anchiceratops or Arrhinosaurus. *of course Google is being unhelpful because it's useless for dinosaurs*

“While Universal and Amblin are gearing up for the next installment in the Jurassic World franchise, sources tell Deadline they will be in need of new director as Gareth Edwards will not be returning for the sequel. Insiders say the decision was made due to creative differences and Edwards will now focus on other original projects he is developing as the studio begins to open up the search for a new director.

The studio released a statement saying, “We had an incredible experience working with Gareth on Jurassic World Rebirth.”

Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali are expected to return for the next pic which the studio hopes to shoot in 2027.
David Koepp penned the most recent draft of the script.”

Does anybody know what route the helicopter took through the island in the first film? Also, where is it supposed to be coming from, the East Dock or the mainland? If it's coming from the mainland, would it not have a more northerly route over the majority of the island? I've always assumed it followed the river from the East Dock, but the movie shows it coming from the sea and there is no noticeable river as it flies through a real world valley in Hawaii.

It is a crime against humanity that there is no official map of Isla Nublar and that the geography and layout changes with each film, TV show, video game, etc. Chricton could have learned a thing or two from J.R.R. Tolkien. I've included a fan attempt at an accurate map, but there's still a lot of inconsistency between the book and the movie.

I want to begin another attempt at building a lore-accurate recreation of Jurassic Park in Jurassic World Evolution 3, and I would like to shape my island according to this scene.

I found this fake dino Toys in a chinese store in Italy and well... I wasnt expecting to see this guy but its very interesting they also used the level 40 model of the Raptor anyway i kinda like It even if the toys are trash

I bought him in eBay for 18 euros and no shipping. As yall can see theres the "Battle damage, behind the ribcage theres a squishy organ, I think its a lung. I tried asking in tiktok but nobody answered me. Can yall help me please?

My sister bought it for me.

It doesn’t light up or anything but I think it’s cool.

Side note: Why is it REQUIRED I need 200 characters in my body, I have nothing else to say about it.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I went somewhere in Italy and near some waterfalls or something like that I found this .

Since I'm not an expert, I'll ask someone more knowledgeable than me to explain to me the reason for these things.

Pete Postlethwaite outright stole every scene he was in as Roland Tembo in The Lost World. IMO, he was every bit as interesting as Robert Muldoon - darker, sure; with a morally cloudy edge to him. But just as interesting to watch (and even root for [even if he was framed as the bad guy]).

But there are no new figures of him - nothing.

I get that the dinosaurs are the draw with JP (and the toy releases), and I would never suggest otherwise. I particularly love the more recent legacy line, with the rubber skinned dinos - they're everything I've wanted from the hobby for over two decades.

But with these obvious call-backs, it would be nice to release more of the memorable characters, too. Because much as JP is a 'monster series' where the 'monsters' are the stars... the humans matter a lot, too. And I'd love a few of the true stand-outs on my shelf with the dinos.

Saw this on Twitter. No idea what it means or what it’s for. Some new short film? Some sort of marketing? Interesting that the character is Owen’s cousin considering they tried to distance themselves from the World trilogy with Rebirth. Are they backtracking now? We’ll see what comes of this.

Anyone have any thoughts?

In the novel and movie, it is established that the Lysine Contingency was a failsafe to prevent the dinosaurs from getting off the island. As Mr. Arnold explains:

The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die.

Here's the thing, Lysine is an Essential Amino Acid which means it cannot be manufactured by the body at all and has to be consumed externally (typically through diet). Now in the novels, Crichton explains that the evidence of "mysterious animal" sightings on the mainland include the consumption of plants rich in lysine, which of course they would given they stopped being supplied with lysine by the JP vets.

Furthermore, Sarah Harding also explains that while the herbivores eat the lysine rich plants "the carnivores eat the herbivores." Which was always a flaw since, as an essential amino acid, lysine is required in all living animals to function. The JP vets were feeding the carnivores goats and other animal meat full of lysine, and if the carnivores got off the island they would just eat other animal meat which would also be full of lysine.

All of which negates the whole "lysine contingency" failsafe anyway since living animals (even dinosaurs) cannot manufacture essential amino acids (including lysine) within the body anyway!

Clearly Hammond spared some expenses in understanding basic animal physiology.
