Q&A: Trevorrow on the mauling metaphors of ‘Jurassic World’

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Questions about the dangers of human tampering with nature have been in the DNA of the “Jurassic Park” films from the start, but they’ve been given a workout in the “Jurassic World” trilogy. Under the stewardship of filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, who directed “Jurassic World” and the new “Jurassic World: Dominion” and co-wrote all three films including “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” the dinosaurs have carried plenty of metaphorical baggage on their way to nearly $3 billion in box office. In “Jurassic World,” the reanimation of colossal beings from the past mirrored the movie’s own blockbuster reboot imperatives. This is the scenario they came up with when we asked them: “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” AP: After a lot of hand-wringing, movie theaters are approaching pre-pandemic levels of ticket sales. The first film, “Jurassic World,” is in some ways about itself, about the fact if there was money to be made, they would bring dinosaurs back regardless of what happened the last time.
