‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ trailer with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey drops
Must go faster.
The first “Jurassic World: Rebirth” trailer is here, and features Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey leading the latest epic in the dinosaur franchise.
The two-and-a-half minute teaser begins with Johansson’s Zora Bennett, a covert operations expert, on a top-secret mission involving a possible “medical breakthrough that would save countless lives.”
Zora and paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Bailey) have to secure genetic material from “the three biggest dinosaurs” left on the planet to get a life-saving drug for humans.
But Zora, Dr. Loomis and Zora’s team leader, Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), find themselves in grave danger from the dinosaurs.
The trio’s adventure also strands them with a civilian family (played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and others) whose boating adventure was overturned by roving aquatic dinosaurs.
In the final moments of the trailer, Johansson points a gun at a massive aquatic dinosaur terrorizing the group’s boat and everyone onboard.
Directed by Gareth Edwards and from a screenplay by David Koepp, “Jurassic World Rebirth” is set five years after the events of “Jurassic World Dominion.”
The film’s logline reads, “The planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”
The description continues, “When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.”
The film also stars Rupert Friend, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein.
Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two “Jurassic Park” films, is an executive producer on “Jurassic World Rebirth.”
The new movie comes after the first three “Jurassic World” films that starred Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
The latest film, “Jurassic World: Dominion,” came out in 2022 and grossed over $1 billion worldwide. It featured appearances by “Jurassic Park” alums Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum.
Johansson previously said that she’s waited a long time to be in a “Jurassic World” movie.
“I’m such an enormous fan of the franchise and huge nerd for it. I’m just like, I can’t even — I’m pinching myself,” she told ComicBook.com in June 2024.
“I’ve been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over 10 years. I’m like, ‘I’ll die in the first five minutes! I can get eaten by whatever! I’ll do the craft service!’ I’ll do anything for it,” the Marvel alum added. “The fact that it’s happened in this way at this time just is actually unbelievable. I can’t believe it.”
Johansson also called the “Jurassic World: Rebirth” script “so incredible.”
“Jurassic World: Rebirth” will be out in theaters on July 2.
