WillJurassic World 3take Rexy into the far reaches of the galaxy? As crazy of an idea as it may seem, it’s quite possible that future installments in theJurassic Park/Jurassic Worldfranchise may feature our beloved dinos wreaking havoc outside of Earth’s atmosphere. This was an out of this world idea thatJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomdirector JA Bayona says may be a possibility in the future.
This idea seemingly originated at ComicBook.com, who brought it to the attention of JA Bayona and Bryce Dallas Howard, who both had some different opinions on the matter. While it could certainly be fun, Bayona didn’t necessarily see it being in the immediate future of the franchise. Here is what theFallen Kingdomdirector had to say on the matter.
“Maybe, I don’t know. I think, somehow, what is interesting about the Jurassic franchise is that they reflect on the moment that we live in. This is something that comes from very early on in theoriginal book from Michael Creighton. So, I don’t know, if we start to talk about going back to space, maybe there’s a possibility that in the future we will talk about that in the Jurassic movies.”
Bayona certainly raised a good point. As cool asspace dinosaurswould be, they don’t really help the current narrative or fit with the present day setting of the franchise. Right now, theJurassicmovies want to focus on their current plot: dinosaurs have been released on the rest of the world (or at least North America), and all of human civilization will now have to adapt to the return of these prehistoric beings.
However, theJurassicfranchise has been going strong for 25 years now. Perhaps, if space travel becomes more common in future decades, and if the franchise is still alive, the setting of that future time period will allow for the “final frontier” to enter theJurassicmovies. With the first private passenger space trip being announced earlier this week, this possibility may not be too far fetched.
Jurassic Worldactress Bryce Dallas Howard seemed a lot more onboard with the idea of featuring space inJurassic Worldmovies. Though she noticeably thought the idea was a little out there, laughing as soon as she heard the pitch, she still seemed to love the concept. Here is what Howard had to say in response to the idea.
“Oh my goodness, dinosaurs in space. What if? What if dinosaurs were in space? I guess we’re gonna find out in Jurassic World 27! That would be jumping the shark, for sure.”
Though this idea fromComicBook.commay seem a little crazy, there’s no denying that it has the potential to be a box office hit. Audiences love dinosaurs, and they love space thrillers. Put those two together with a blockbuster budget, and it could end up beingAvatar. Of course this is all hypothetical, as there’s no guarantee that a movie like this could ever happen, but the fact that it is a “possibility” is honestly enough to get us excited.
