Today's News: from Park to World, but still Jurassic
Exciting news from MovieScene that I posted there meself:

A new name implies a different direction for the franchise. Might be for the best, since there's only so many times you can convince your audience the characters they're seeing are visiting an island where they're likely to get killed within hours out of their own free will. However, a fresh franchise must be based on fresh ideas, and to my mind a functional park filled with dinosaurs that break loose and eat folks doesn't wholly fit that description. Of course, we'll have to wait and see whether these supposed plot rumours are true. Maybe it'll be about something else entirely. With a title like Jurassic World, which has clear connotations with the likes of SeaWorld and Disney World, that doesn't appear to be the case though. Unless this film will be about dinosaurs that have taken over the world and pushed humanity to the brink, kinda like The Walking Dead but with dinosaurs (The Walking Dinosaurs? Also sounds eeriely familiar). They will take us over anyway (again!), as we slowly but surely seem to be moving towards another time of intense dinosaur hype. Apart from this film, we also have Walking with Dinosaurs 3D, the Dinobots in Transformers: Age of Extinction and Pixar's The Good Dinosaur to look forward to. It seems dinosaurs once again are proving death isn't so definitive, as parents will soon find out when they're having to buy loads of expensive merchandise for their dino hungry offspring. At least I don't need that excuse, I'll just buy it for myself.
No park this time then. Will JPtoys soon be dubbed JWtoys? Could I ever get used to that...?
