Today, the official Jurassic World account announced that Jurassic World Dominion’s 2021 release has been delayed to June 10th, 2022.
The delay was announced in the form of a brand-new poster for the upcoming movie, featuring the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex skull in what appears to be a cracked and broken ball of amber not too dis-similar to the Amber seen atop John Hammond’s cane in the original Jurassic Park. The design language here is certainly a clear nod to the visual language of the classic films – and does a lot to lend towards the idea that this film will, indeed, play heavily with the idea of nostalgia for the original trilogy we have all grown to know and love.
Colin Trevorrow shared a short and heartfelt message with fans on Twitter:
““For the past three months, I’ve worked with an extraordinary cast and crew on a film we can’t wait to share with the world. Even though we’ll have to wait a bit longer, it will all be worth it. Let’s stay healthy and take care of each other until then.””
His short message is a reminder of the strange world we find ourselves in currently – and it also fills us with hope for the future. This film is a celebration of this franchise, so it is only fitting that we all have the opportunity to celebrate it together – whether it be through face-to-face events, watch parties, or premieres. We are hopeful that the move will give our community the opportunity to experience this special endcap to Colin’s trilogy together – as was always intended.
We know that the gap left in the year that follows will be difficult for some, so we wanted to take a moment to remind you of the strength of this community. Let’s use the year we have now been afforded to have meaningful conversations about the franchise we love. Let’s share opinions (respectfully, of course!), make artwork, create videos, and let’s continue to build a community with a rich love for dinosaurs. The Jurassic Park community is so much more than one film – or a group of films. It is a group of fans with a love for all things dinosaur, and that is a love which we will all get to share in June of 2022.
For now, enjoy the new poster – and remember – stay safe, stay Jurassic!
