‘Jurassic World’ Will See Return Of (Original) Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Published

on

Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow has opened up about the film’s Tyrannosaurus Rex and the information is incredibly badass! In an interview with Slashfilm, Trevorrow explains that the T. Rex we see in the film isn’t a brand new dinosaur. Rather, it’s the same one from Jurassic Park, the one that injured Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum)!

He explains:

She is 22 years older. But she’s not limping around. …it’s going to move a little bit differently, but it’ll move differently because it’s older. And we’re giving her some scars and we’re tightening her skin. So, she has that feeling of, like, an older Burt Lancaster. And this movie is her Unforgiven.

Trevorrow also goes into greater detail about their usage of CGI versus practical animatronics, which you can read about at the above link.

Personally, knowing that the T. Rex from the first movie is back in this sequel just shot my excitement level through the roof. Seeing the T. Rex for the first time in theaters back in 1993 still ranks as one of the most memorable movie experiences of my life. This almost feels like seeing an old friend back on the screen.
