I read the book awhile back, I've seen a few of the comic pages but that's been it. What studio is doing it? It would be great to have another dinosaur movie series out there..one that is definitely not PG-13.

Ok..never heard of it before. There is no backing from any major studio? Just hoping it's not Syfy channel quality.

No major studio involved. Luke Sparke is Australian whose last movie was BRING HIM TO ME with Sam Neill, Barry Pepper and Rachel Griffiths (Oscar nominee).

Okay, looks decent! Definitely gave off a bit of a Kong: Skull Island vibe. The raptors at the end (I'm assuming Utahraptor/Dakotaraptor) look great!

Fembrogon · April 02, 2025, 07:50:52 PM

Yeah, that trio of raptors looked good enough to get me excited. That glimpse of a spinosaur looked promising too.
I've never read the book, but for sake of dino cinema I hope this turns out good.

Oh, hell yes!!!

"Predator" meets "Jurassic Park". 🙂

I like the look of it. It looks like the raptors have feathers! 👍🏻

Read the book it has some definite possibilities. The dinos area bit too JP/JW like though. The raptors have some HUGE teeth/fangs. I know it's not a JW budget film but it looked good up until the dinos to me. I'll have to show my dad the trailer, he's a Vietnam veteran.

Dilopho · April 03, 2025, 03:54:05 AM

What do you know, the raptors designed by AI end up looking like trashy JW clones. Who would have guessed?

Giganotosaurus · April 03, 2025, 03:57:20 AM

This looks good, definitely one of my most anticipated movies now!

Good to know I'm not the only 1. The Spino looks especially JP-ish. Also, why does the claw at 0:45 have a serrated edge? I hope it's not meant to be a tooth

AFAICT, the only good-looking dino bit is the foot at 1:08.

For something that was originally trying to be it's own thing they really leaned a bit too much into it. " walk in the park " tagline and designs so far. The book was very JP novel like in tone, especially with the more gorey bits. I'll watch it to be sure, I'm not sure it will be theatrically released here?

This looks not bad at all. So far I'm pretty excited for this film!

I couldn't agree more.
I would really like to be excited about this. An Overlord/Kong: Skull Island/Dog Soldiers-esque low-budget dino action-horror sounds absolutely incredible.
I just cannot get passed the use of AI in this production. I don't know if it was just for the concept art stuff, or if AI was used in the final effects shots, it doesn't really matter. AI "art" was used, so I'm not watching this.
