Jurassic World 3: Dominion: release date, trailer, cast, plot details, and more

 Jurassic World 3: Dominion is smashing its way onto the big screen in a matter of months, and as we get closer and closer to the big day, there’s more and more information about the movie to pore over. For one thing, a trailer is finally here, with the original trio – Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum – reunited once more, starring alongside Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Plus, the latest update is the film’s monster-sized runtime: a massive 2 hours and 23 minutes. That means the film is the longest ever of the franchise. 
We’ve rounded up absolutely everything there is to know about the movie right here, from who’s who in the cast, the lowdown on all the footage revealed so far, and all that’s out there about the plot. That’s not all we’ve got, either, so scroll on for the ultimate guide to Jurassic World 3: Dominion. Hold onto your butts!

Jurassic World Dominion is the longest movie in the franchise, clocking in at a huge 2 hours and 23 minutes. 
Previously, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom were tied for being the longest Jurassic movies, both coming in at 2 hours 9 mins. Then came the original Jurassic Park at 2 hours 7 mins, followed by the first Jurassic World at 2 hours 4 minutes. In last place remains Jurassic Park 3, which comes in at a smooth 1 hour 32 minutes. Expect big things from Dominion, then. 
Jurassic World 3: Dominion trailer
The first trailer for Jurassic World Dominion is finally here. In the clip, the original trio – that’s Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill – are reunited once more, and Bryce Dallas Howard’s Clare is seen in some serious trouble with a dino pursuing her into a body of water. A lot of dinosaurs are also running wild, which, as you might imagine, is causing a lot of problems. 
Before the trailer arrived, a dinosaur-packed 10-minute short was released that helps bridge the gap between Fallen Kingdom and the new movie.

“Battle at Big Rock” is set in northern California, a year after the dinosaurs were set loose at the Lockwood mansion. It shows a vacationing family getting caught in the middle of a scrap between a carnivorous Allosaurus and a family of plant-eating Nasutoceratops, hiding from the carnage in their RV. 
Just as interesting as the central plot, however, are the hints at how the world has changed. News reports mention sightings of baby dinosaurs – suggesting they’re breeding in the wild – while there’s talk of adapting to a “new normal”. (The short was released months before “new normal” became part of everyday conversation.)
There’s also a few tantalizing mid-credits scenes: a pack of tiny Compsognathus chasing a little girl; a close encounter with a Stegosaurus causing a car accident; a Parasaurolophus drinking by the side of a river; a spectacular shot of a shark leaping out of the water to eat a seal being topped by a Mosasaur eating the shark; and a Pteranodon swooping out of the sky to catch a dove released at a wedding. The world of Jurassic World 3: Dominion is clearly going to be very different to what we’ve seen before.

As this is an origins story, the dinosaurs have feathers. The new movie includes up-to-date scientific evidence unearthed since the first movie, to hopefully appease fans upset at the inaccuracy of dinosaurs without feathers. Seeing as how Jurassic World Dominion will kick off before humans entered the picture, it makes sense – narratively speaking – that these creatures are the real deal. 
“Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to see dinosaurs in their natural habitat,” Trevorrow said in a statement about the extended preview. “It may have taken a few decades, but with a little help from ILM, Universal and Amblin, it has finally happened. This Preview is just a glimpse of the film we’ve made. It’s an epic celebration of everything Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton created, and I can’t wait to share it with the world next summer.”

He was even clearer in conversation with Total Film. “Laura, Sam, and Jeff have as much screentime in the film as Bryce and Chris do,” he explained. “They’re not together the entire time, but we are following both of their stories equally, and you have a sense that they’re going to collide at a certain point… there’s this tension. It’s not structured necessarily in a way that we’re used to seeing our Hollywood movies structured. But it works.”
Trevorrow also told Collider that the movie won’t strictly follow “traditional screenplay structure” with one main character “where everybody knows what happens on page twelve.” 
Instead, the film focuses on “two sets of characters” – Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt, and Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum – and is “telling two parallel stories that are just driving closer and closer together, and you understand that, and you start to understand how they’re going to intersect, and then they do. But that’s not a traditional way to structure a movie.” 

The trio could also be joined by another veteran of the original movie. Joe Mazzello played dino-obsessed kid Tim Murphy in Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and got fans speculating in February when he tweeted: “I think it’s time to get back to work. What do you say gang?” The timing checks out with other announcements about the movie, but we’re still waiting on official confirmation. It’ll be interesting to see if Tim got to live out his dream of becoming a palaeontologist.
Jurassic World 3: Dominion plot

What we won’t be seeing, however, is dinosaurs doing a Godzilla and trashing big cities. “I just have no idea what would motivate dinosaurs to terrorise a city,” Trevorrow told BirthMoviesDeath. “They can’t organise. Right now we’ve got lethal predators in wild areas surrounding cities all over the world. They don’t go pack hunting for humans in urban areas. The world I get excited about is the one where it’s possible that a dinosaur might run out in front of your car on a foggy backroad, or invade your campground looking for food. A world where dinosaur interaction is unlikely but possible – the same way we watch out for bears or sharks.
“We hunt animals, we traffic them, we herd them, we breed them, we invade their territory and pay the price, but we don’t go to war with them. If that was the case, we’d have lost that war a long time ago.”
Chris Pratt confirmed a time jump in an interview with MTV News: “How are, not only these dinosaurs, but this technology moving forward going to affect the planet? We jump forwards and it’s like, ‘Oh right, oh damn…’”
That time jump will presumably have given the dinos time to get a foothold in the USA, as hinted in “Battle at Big Rock.” Trevorrow explained more about the timeline to Screen Rant: “Everything in my mind has always been pretty much present-day. So Big Rock took place a year or so after Fallen Kingdom in 2019, when it came out, and the T-Rex has just been out in the Sierra Nevada forest where they all escaped to. It’s absolutely massive; it’s a whole section of the state. And so she’s just been living in there; they’ve been struggling to catch her for a very long time. So this is about four years later – it’s when the movie comes out, so 2022.”

Jurassic World 3: Dominion dinosaurs – what do we know about the movie’s non-human stars?

Twitter that Edinburgh University palaeontologist Steve Brusatte has been brought on to the consulting for the film, and he also revealed to Screen Rant that there are “no hybrids in this movie,” which means all the dinos involved have walked the Earth at some point. “I really wanted to focus on dinosaurs that really existed. That’s what made me fall in love with this franchise in the first place… Real dinosaurs are awesome; they don’t need to be hybrids to be awesome,” he added.
He also said that we can expect to see the Giganotosaurus again, after it showed up in the IMAX preview: “The Giganotosaurus – as you can imagine, I wouldn’t do the audience like that by just showing the Giganotosaurus taking out the T-Rex and never seeing it again. So that’s going to be a major player going forward. It’s a pretty badass dinosaur, that thing.” 
A lot of the dinos will be created with animatronics rather than CG – more so than on the previous Jurassic movies. “We’ve actually gone more practical with every Jurassic movie we’ve made since the first one, and we’ve made more animatronics in this one than we have in the previous two,” Trevorrow said on Collider’s Comic-Con@Home panel. “We finally reached a point where it’s possible to… digital extensions on animatronics will be able to match the texture and the level of fidelity that, on film, an animatronic is going to be able to bring. And you didn’t use to be able to really mix them. You could really see the seams. And so that part of it is very exciting for me. 
“[Fallen Kingdom director] J.A. Bayona really, he found the value in creating really photo-real, just beautiful lighting references that could be articulated just slightly. Just a head and a jaw that could move, but painted beautifully, hand-painted. And we do it for all of the dinosaurs now, so when we put it into a space, you can see how the light reacts to the skin. And even if they ultimately do make that a digital animal, there was always something there reacting to the light in that environment.”
The Jurassic World Twitter account gave us an up close and personal look at some practical dinos – and they look scarily realistic.
