'Jurassic World Dominion' TRIVIA!!!

Since I worked on a little "Trivia" post for the mega hit 'Top Gun: Maverick' (that is still making a killing at the box office), I decided to keep this going and continue on with the "Trivia" posts.

This time, it will be for 'Jurassic World Dominion,' which is currently slated to be the final installment of the 'Jurassic Park/Jurassic World' franchise.

Here are some very interesting tidbits for 'Jurassic World Dominion':

• Jeff Goldblum announced on his Instagram that he, along with Laura Dern and Sam Neill, will be in this movie.

• 'Dominion' was released on June 10, 2022, just one day before the date when the first 'Jurassic Park' was released on June 11, 1993. And just two days before the date when 'Jurassic World' was released on June 12, 2015.

• Certain scenes and ideas regarding the integration of dinosaurs into the world were ultimately removed from the 'Fallen Kingdom' script to be saved for the third film.

• Colin Trevorrow described wanting the third film to be tonally a "science thriller," more in line with Michael Crichton's novels, on which the 'Jurassic Park' franchise was originally based.

• The 'Dominion' title was announced/revealed on February 25, 2020.

• During early conversations on 2015's 'Jurassic World' executive producer Steven Spielberg told Trevorrow that he was interested in having more films made. In April 2014, Trevorrow announced that sequels for 'Jurassic World' have been discussed.

• He said they wanted to create something that would be less arbitrary and episodic, and that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story.

• Universal announced in February 2018 that the untitled film, known then as 'Jurassic World 3,' would be released on June 11, 2021. Legendary Entertainment co-financed the two previous films, but wasn't involved with the third as its five year contract with Universal expired in 2018.

• Following the release of 'Fallen Kingdom,' Trevorrow said the sequel would focus on some of the dinosaurs that went open source after being sold and spread around the world, allowing other people than Henry Wu to create their own dinosaurs.

• After filming concluded, Trevorrow worked on the film in a barn behind his UK home that had been converted into a post-production facility. The film's release had previously been delayed by a year due to the pandemic, and this allowed Trevorrow time to work on VFX, sound mixing, and scoring as separate processes, unlike most films.

• Fifteen minutes were cut from the film, including five which would be released as a prologue. Trevorrow expressed interest in eventually releasing a director's cut with the excluded footage intact.

• A five minute preview of the film was released in June 2021, attached to IMAX screenings of 'F9.' Trevorrow initially intended for this footage to act as the film's first five minutes, before deciding to remove it from the final cut.

• The footage was later released online on November 23, 2021 as a stand alone short film and prologue to promote 'Dominion.' The prologue includes a prehistoric segment set in the Cretaceous, during which a Giganotosaurus kills a T-Rex in battle. The prologue sets up a present day rivalry between the two animals, as clones, in the main film.

• The film is scheduled to stream on Universal's Peacock platform within four months of its theatrical release, as part of an 18 month deal. The film would then move to Amazon Prime for ten months, before returning to Peacock for the final four months. Following that 18 month deal, it will air on the Starz platform as part of Universal's post Pay-One licensing agreement with the network.
