Latest ‘Jurassic World’ Teaser Taps Into Nostalgia
Universal Pictures is pulling off some wicked subliminal messaging in their new teaser for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
The sequence opens with a shot of a museum with a voiceover (Bryce Dallas Howard) asking, “Do you remember the first time you saw a dinosaur?” Even though the speaker is talking to Chris Pratt, who is then shown feeding a baby raptor, it’s clearly speaking to the audience. We all remember the first time we saw dinosaur bones. We also remember the first time we saw a dinosaur – in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. With a single line of dialogue, Universal has tapped directly into our nostalgic veins. That’s perfect marketing.
As for the full trailer? We’ll have it for you tonight, and if the featurette is any indication, it’s going to be gangbusters.
J. A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) directed the new installment.
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are returning for the sequel, which also stars Jeff Goldblum, along with Justice Smith, James Cromwell and Toby Jones. Colin Trevorrow, who directed Jurassic World, wrote the script for the sequel with Derek Connolly.
Producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley once again join executive producers Steven Spielberg and Trevorrow. Belén Atienza also produced.

One night. One house. One horrifying experience. Nothing stays buried forever in Bury the Devil, a real-time exorcism movie told in a single, continuous take.
We’re exclusively unveiling the new trailer and key art for the real-time nightmare below, ahead of the film’s release in select theaters and VOD on August 21.
Adam O’Brien (Mom) directs from a script by John Petrizzi and Brad Hodson.
When nurse Julia finds herself trapped inside the home of her dementia patient, she begins to suspect things are not what they seem; something demonic is seeping through the cracks of this old home. Trapped and with nowhere to turn, Julia soon finds herself in battle to rid the house of this evil before it is too late.
Dawn Ford, Emmanuelle Lussier Martinez, Bill Rowat, and Mark Antony Krupa star.
“This film depicts the most harrowing 90 minutes of our protagonist’s life, and I felt that the most visceral way to really feel this was to do a single-shot film,” O’Brien previously teased. “We are with her every step and misstep she takes – through the unraveling of the mystery to the horror of her discovery. It’s a fun, twisty roller-coaster ride that puts a new spin on exorcisms.”
Bury the Devil is the first installment in a planned trilogy. The prequel, Bury the Devil: Origin, is already in development with O’Brien returning to the helm.
O’Brien produces along with Philip Kalin-Hajdu (The Sacrifice Game) and Benoit Beaulieu (Turbo Kid).
