The photographic teases from the set of Jurassic World continue, courtesy of director Colin Trevorrow.

After posting an ominous photo from the set of the upcoming film a few weeks ago depicting the shadow of a jagged-toothed dinosaur, Trevorrow upped the ante over the weekend with a new photograph that’s equally — if not more — sinister than the first.

Posted to Twitter with the simple description “Saturday, 4AM” the new photo features a portion of a “Mobile Veterinary Unit” vehicle with a bloody, human handprint plastered on it. Streaks of blood can be seen underneath the handprint, offering the impression that whoever made the print was likely dragged away.

How’s that for a tease?

After some early issues with a leaked draft of the film’s script, Jurassic World seems to be rolling right along now under the direction of the Safety Not Guaranteed filmmaker. The fourth film in the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World is set more than 20 years after the events of the original release in a dinosaur theme park that undertakes some questionable experiments in order to counter flagging attendance. The film stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Judy Greer. Actor BD Wong reprises his role as scientist Henry Wu from the first film.

Jurassic World is expected to hit 3D, 2D, and IMAX theaters June 12, 2015.

Sorry Millennials, but Jurassic Park was never a good movie

A child hides from raptors in the kitchen in Jurassic Park.

Jurassic World Dominion opened to big box office this past weekend, along with some of the worst reviews of the six-movie franchise -- a 30% score on Rotten Tomatoes -- which is saying something, given that most of the entries in this series have been panned by critics.

And yet, it's really not all that surprising that the films that sprung from the source have all been of negligible quality, given that the original 1993 Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg from the bestseller by Michael Crichton, really wasn't very good to begin with. Yes, it earned solid reviews at the time (along with grumblings by Roger Ebert and others), and, yes, it remains treasured by '90s kids. But looking at it without the lens of nostalgia or the excitement over digital dinosaurs that fueled its initial success, I argue that it doesn't hold up well at all.

5 games to play if you liked Jurassic World Dominion

A dinosaur roaring in Jurassic World Evolution 2.

Jurassic World Dominion is out to close the six-movie storyline that began with Steven Spielberg's all-time classic, but there are other ways for fans to satiate their appetite for dinosaur-themed content after leaving the theaters. Given the natural mainstream appeal of these awe-inspiring animals from the prehistoric ages, blockbuster IPs like Jurassic Park naturally paved the way for tie-in media when it comes to video games.

The most recent example would be developer Frontier Developments' Jurassic World Evolution 2 to help coincide with the newly released movie, but there are other dinosaur-themed -- or dinosaur-adjacent -- video games worth checking out outside of the synonymous Hollywood IP. Whether it's park simulators, action RPGs, or survival games, there's something for everyone to indulge their inner dinosaur enthusiast.

Whether it's the landmark original movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, a beloved animated family classic, or a fascinating BBC documentary, there's enough range in the subgenre for audiences to indulge their excitement for the upcoming movie.
