Trevorrow (who also wrote the screenplay with Emily Carmichael) explains that it was hard to find reference points for this sequel, which diverges entirely from the park/island-based Jurassic formula.
"This is a rare film where it is so different from anything that I've ever seen before, I didn't know what to watch as inspiration," he tells Total Film in the new issue of the magazine, which features Black Adam on the cover. "Honestly, we watched a lot of nature documentaries. I watched a lot of Planet Earth. The movie does rely on the animals acting and reacting in ways that feel natural."
And as for how the original Park cast (Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum) will crossover with Howard and Chris Pratt, Trevorrow promises something unique again. "Laura, Sam, and Jeff have as much screentime in the film as Bryce and Chris do," Trevorrow explains of the cast split. "They're not together the entire time, but we are following both of their stories equally, and you have a sense that they're going to collide at a certain point... there's this tension. It's not structured necessarily in a way that we're used to seeing our Hollywood movies structured. But it works."
