Scarlett Johansson knows what she wants from this summer’s Jurassic World: Rebirth — a good time, and some good old scares, too, just like the original 1993 Jurassic Park. Judging by the new trailer for Rebirth, it’s going to deliver… and also throw in some DNA from an entirely different Steven Spielberg movie, as well.
Johansson told Empire magazine in a recent interview that being in a Jurassic movie had been her “dream since I saw the first one when I was 11,” and promised that Jurassic World: Rebirth “harkens back to the first [Jurassic Park]. It has a lot of good jump-scares and the stakes are high.”
The new trailer reveals more parallels to the original movie than just that, including a family that needs to be protected/rescued from some scary Dinos — including something called the D-Rex, if we should go by the computer display in the opening sequence — and, of course, unfortunate ends for some characters who are sure to have become favorites by the time they meet their demise. (That’s how it works, after all.)
We also get an extended sequence on the water that looks like nothing as much as director Gareth Edwards paying tribute to original Jurassic director — and continuing franchise executive producer — Spielberg’s iconic Jaws, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. What more could anyone want from a summer blockbuster, really?
Jurassic World: Rebirth opens July 2. Watch the new trailer below.
