The director of Jurassic world : RenaissanceGareth Edwards, says a little more about the new mutants of his film, who are eyeingly overlooking the horror ofAlien…
In addition to the dinosaurs adored since the first film in 1993, the franchise Jurassic Park has always been A fertile land for the manufacture of large, more or less natural critters. After all, as we do not let us know very quickly, the animals that inhabit Isla Nublar are already mutants whose genetic capital we have completed with other DNA.
From the mid -1990s, comics Jurassic Park told the experiences of a crazy scientist who want to make dinosaurs “Hyper-intelligent”. Spielberg himself admitted the existence of a « super-raptor » genetically modified in an abandoned version of Lost world. Even more disturbing: a draft of the fourth part featured half-dinosaurs, half-humans. Finally, there were the mega-predators of Jurassic World 1 et 2born killers and metaphors of a Hollywood industry still wanting “No more teeth« .
But in his Jurassic World : Renaissancethe director Gareth Edwards intends to go further and give a pure horror, thanks to not one, but two mutants. Attention, light spoilers.
Jurassic World: The Renaissance of Monsters
Edwards has experience with big cattle: former VFX technician who has become famous thanks to giant extraterrestrials and low-budget (Monsters), he was entrusted with the American reboot of Godzilla In 2014, which already included pure moments of terror. Suffice to say that he had fun with his Jurassic World. In an interview with the magazine Empire, He formally presented the deform monster seen in the trailersvery far from the clean and slender design of the Indominus Rex.
It must be said that he explores the island where Ingen’s most dubious experiments took place. Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) and Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali) will therefore meet the one named The distortus rex, the d-rex for intimate. Gareth Edwards had already mentioned the influence ofAlienhe added a layer:
“It’s a bit like the T-Rex had been designed by HR Giger and that thing was mounted with a racor. This is a design that I was very happy with. I would like to buy the toy when it will come out. »»
On the program: 6 members, many teeth and a sacred appetite. And influences that extend to the darkest corners of pop culture. The rancor is the murderous monster that haunts the cellar of Jabba le Hutt in The return of the Jedi. And of course, as we recalled above, HR Giger is the famous Swiss artist known for his nightmarish biomechanical creations and in particular the design of the xenomorph. “It is as if another animal had rolled up around the T-Rex”, specifies David Vickery of Ilm. “Gareth wanted him to inspire as much pity as for fear, because his deformities caused suffering and it is a burden. »»
But that’s not all, because this mysterious island houses another mutant: Mutadon, “A combination of a pterosaur and a raptor” According to the screenwriter David Koepp, already at work on the first two parts produced by Steven Spielberg:
« [Les mutants de Jurassic World : Renaissance] come from my bizarre mind. We saw in some of the previous films Jurassic World that their experiences made the dinosaurs bigger, harder, more scary, and we said to ourselves with Steven [Spielberg] that they could not all be fine. »»
This is the least we can say. To discover this a priori iteration more led to horror, See you on July 4, 2025 in theaters.
