‘Fallen Kingdom’ Features More Practical Dinosaurs Than Any Previous ‘Jurassic Park’ Sequel!
Filmmakers sometimes make promises that don’t end up coming true, but when director J.A. Bayona said months back that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was going to feature as many practical dinosaur effects as possible, it seems that he damn sure meant it. This summer’s new film will indeed be a practical effects-heavy monster mash!
Speaking with producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley on the set, in a chat they weren’t able to publish until this week, /Film brings us word on FK‘s effects.
“I think since Jurassic Park we’ve got more animatronics than any of the other movies. Except for Jurassic Park,” Marshall told the site during their on-set chat, while Crowley explained that the film puts dinosaurs and humans into close contact for “a longer period of time than we’ve ever been.” Thus the need for more practical dinos.
Marshall continued, “The process of the animatronics is so advanced now from what it used to be. What they’re able to do now is fantastic. And it’s so much faster to see what you’re gonna have. So that made it really cool.”
Coolest of all, Marshall told the site that Fallen Kingdom features a newly built, life-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex animatronic, brought to life by servos and puppeteers!
Life continues to find a way on June 22.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
