Jurassic World Dominion Director Says the Movie Will Connect to Camp Cretaceous Series

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous follows a group of kids, who are stranded on an island full of dinosaurs. According to Jurassic World: Dominion director Colin Trevorrow, the movie will be connected to the animated series, allowing the creators to tell a larger story.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Trevorrow said, “It's important to me, out of respect for the writers who are continuing to expand and create, to recognize [Camp Cretaceous] as clearly its own story and its own show. But this season — and if we're granted further opportunities to tell the story that we have [in season 3] — will keep weaving in to the larger story and really inform some things, even in Dominion that will connect to discoveries made that I'm really excited about.”

The director also called the upcoming Jurassic World movie a “celebration of the franchise.” While talking about Dominion, Trevorrow said, “[Dominion] is a culmination of one story that's been told. When you got to the end of the Jurassic Park trilogy, it may not have been as clear in what the complete story of those three movies was because they were a bit more episodic in the way that they were approached. But this trilogy is not that way. It's very much a serialized story.”

The director added, “What was important for me was, when you watch Dominion, you really feel like you are learning how much of a story that first set of movies was and how everything that happened in those movies actually informs what ultimately is able to happen in this. If kids who are born today are going to be presented with six Jurassic Park movies — you hope the parents will buy them the box set — you hope they are going to get to feel like they watch one long story.”
