Jurassic World 3 gets an official title and finally has something in common with The Exorcist
Aux Features Film
Numbers in sequel titles are so unimaginative—especially because studios rarely put them to good use, like how The Fate Of The Furious clearly should’ve been called The F8 Of The Furious. Or how Frozen 2 should’ve been Fro2en. Or like how Rambo: Last Blood should’ve never been made at all. Numbers are tired, is the thing, which is why we’re thrilled that Colin Trevorrow has revealed a non-numerical title for Jurassic World 3—so we no longer have to endure the embarrassment of referring to it as Jurassic World 3. The photo also reveals a snowy landscape, which means we’re gonna see some friggin’ dinosaurs in the friggin’ snow. As an added bonus, the new title means the Jurassic Park series finally has something in common with The Exorcist, and it only took six films to get there:
Okay, the similarity begins and ends with one word in the title: Dominion—as in Dominion: The Prequel To The Exorcist. Hopefully Jurassic World 3 is not a prequel and also not terrible to the point of us being mortified for everyone involved.
Speaking of which, a few familiar faces are returning for the third installment in the Jurassic World trilogy (hopefully it ends there, but who knows with these people anymore): Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, and Laura Dern—the Jurassic holy trinity—are all reprising their roles from Steven Spielberg’s original film. Reprising their roles from the first two Jurassic World movies are Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Jake Johnson, Justice Smith, and Daniella Pineda, while recent additions include DeWanda Wise, Dichen Lachman, and Scott Haze.
Jurassic World: Dominion hits theaters on June 11, 2021.

Speaking of Michael Crichton sequels, Daniel H. Wilson wrote a sequel to The Andromeda Strain called The Andromeda Evolution. I read it and, while I prefer the original, I liked the sequel and think Crichton fans would enjoy it.
I will only see this if ten naked dichen lachmans wrestle blue
Just go watch season 1 of Altered Carbon again.
Then you might like Altered Carbon…

Now I’m mad again at how stupid the the second JW movie was and I can’t even remember why I’m mad or in what ways it was stupid. But I know it was!
Alas, I will see this in the theater because I am also stupid.
Rambo: Last Blood didn’t need to exist, but I’m glad that the title exists, at least.
Aww, can’t I get one more blood?
No! That is your last blood. Your brother can have one more blood because he mowed the lawn. But no more blood for you, there are children exsanguinating in Africa!

“Hopefully Jurassic World 3 is not a prequel and also not terrible to the point of us being mortified for everyone involved.”Why should it be any different than the first 2 JW movies?God the FX were just so bad…
I would actually just be happy if JW3 dials down the blue filter a little, by… say 1000%.
In keeping with the naming convention of the Jurassic Park movies, the title should really be Jurassic World 3.
I want to see raptors chasing Chris Pratt and as they hit the frozen pond, commence slipping and sliding, while Yakkity-Sax plays.Why hasn’t Hollywood called me? I am nothing but great ideas………..
If the raptors eat Chris Pratt, I’m all in.
They missed such an opportunity with Jurassic World War
Yes. This. I’d watch that movie.
Jurassic World 3That the first one is the only good one?

Breaking Bad Boys – crossover.
Jesus- where did you find the time for this?
Nazi scientists have secretly been developing their own dinosaur park in which all the dinosaurs are part Hitler. I bring you Jurassic World 3.
Hopefully this means dominion over the planet, i.e., super intelligent dinosaurs …… that wear tiny hats.
The main thing the Jurassic franchise has in common with The Exorcist is that the first movie in the series is a great classic, and every subsequent film is varying levels of pointless and/or terrible.
And both second entries have their merits.
except The Exorcist III is good, and probably would’ve been great if the studio hadn’t done their studio bullshit to it(I kind of like Jurassic Park 3 as well, but in my defense, the last time I saw that I was about 7)
You either haven’t seen Exorcist III or have an objectively wrong opinion about it. Either way, you’re not qualified.
Neill, Dern, and Goldlum will all be featured as TV panelists playing in the background of a sports bar. “Starring!”
So, I take it what’s going to happen is the studio will be so unsatisfied with Trevorrow’s cut of Jurassic World: Dominion that it will hire Renny Harlin (or whoever today’s Harlin equivalent is) to make a completely different version with the same storyline, which will be called Jurassic World: The Beginning.
Otherwise known as the one where things go so off-the-rails it switches tracks and ends up aping Planet of the… you know.Also, who the hell looked at JW1 and 2 and thought “Give it back to Trevorrow”?
JW2 is underrated as far as style goes. You can say the story is dumb, but Bayona filled that movie with atmosphere, particularly the haunted house second half. It was like The Orphanage with dinosaurs.
The Fate of Jurrasic Park Rises: Electric Boogaloo
Finally, the Jurassic World – Deep Space 9 crossover we’ve all been waiting for.
The first two are utterly tedious, which is an achievement for a franchise about hybrid dinosaurs.
I wonder if Daniella Pineda finished filming Cowboy Bebop or if it’s still in filming “hiatus” after John Cho’s injury on set was supposed to set the production back for a really long time. I know people are skeptical of a live action Cowboy Bebop show, but I’m looking forward to seeing her take on Faye Valentine. Even as a Jurassic World apologist, I will freely admit Fallen Kingdom was hot garbage and I was extremely bored by it. But her character was… okay? I could see her morphing that character a bit to be Faye-like.Also, here’s hoping Goldblum, Neill, and Dern are in the movie for more than just glorified cameos. We haven’t seen the three of them together since the first movie, and if this movie’s even remotely better than the last one, we deserve to see those three together again for an extended period of time.
All we can hope is for a pre-titles sequence in the desert, with a grim-visaged Stellan Skarsgaard uncovering a mosquito trapped in amber.
