New Jurassic World: Dominion trailer reunites the OT heroes

In 1993, Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) were summoned to a remote island in Jurassic Park in order to witness the scientific miracle that brought dinosaurs back to life. But by the time of Jurassic World: Dominion, that miracle has become a curse. Dinosaurs have been set free all over the world, and there’s no better time for the original trilogy heroes to return.

Universal Pictures has released Jurassic World: Dominion‘s Super Bowl trailer a few days early, and it gives fans the onscreen reunion that they’ve waited nearly three decades for. Neill, Dern, and Goldblum have all made appearances in the sequels, but this is the first time all three of them have been back in the same film.

As for the current generation of heroes, Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady looks like he has his hands full while fending off a dino attack in traffic. That’s becoming a far too common occurrence since Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. But perhaps Owen can put his head together with Ian, Alan, and Ellie to come up with a better solution than fighting the dinosaurs every single day.

Additionally, Mamoudou Athie, Scott Haze, and Dichen Lachman have undisclosed roles in the film.

The Jurassic World trilogy came to its epic conclusion with the third and final film, Jurassic World Dominion. Set four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom, dinosaurs now roam the Earth and struggle to coexist with humans. Owen Grady (Guardians of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Rocketman's Bryce Dallas Howard) are secretly living with and raising Maisie Lockwood (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's Isabella Sermon). Mercenaries eventually kidnap Maisie and Beta, the offspring of the Velociraptor known as Blue, forcing Owen and Claire out of hiding as they seek to find their adopted daughter.

Meanwhile, Dr. Alan Grant (Jurassic Park's Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Marriage Story's Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Independence Day's Jeff Goldblum) head to Italy to investigate Biosyn, a genetics corporation responsible for decimating crops in the U.S. through the use of genetically engineered locusts.

Director Colin Trevorrow wrapped up the modern Jurassic World trilogy in dramatic (and familiar) fashion with Jurassic World Dominion, which brought back many of the original characters and dinosaurs from the original Jurassic Park films.

The Dominion team did so with a mix of practical and visual effects, in keeping with the franchise's storied tradition of mixing in-camera movie magic with groundbreaking digital animation techniques. In addition to a visual effects team led by ILM's David Vickery, Dominion relied on John Nolan Studio to create practical, animatronic creatures that added a physical component to the film's menagerie.

The Jurassic World trilogy concluded in epic, roaring fashion with Jurassic World Dominion, which brought the franchise full circle in multiple ways. Not only did Dominion bring back Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow behind the camera, but it also reunited the modern trilogy's stars, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, with those of the original Jurassic Park: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum.

Dominion also featured the return of some popular dinosaurs from the original trilogy, as well as the introduction of a few amazing -- and terrifying -- new dinosaurs, too. Blending all of these fresh and familiar elements together was no small feat. Digital Trends spoke to the film's visual effects supervisor, Academy Award nominee David Vickery, about the "digital paleontology" his team performed while revisiting the franchise's past in Jurassic World Dominion.
