Barbados gets a shout out in the latest installment of the Jurassic Park sequel.
In the first released trailer of Jurassic World Rebirth, the new island is near Barbados, further east in the Caribbean.
Jurassic World Rebirth retains a familiar island setting as past entries, but the actual island it takes place on is different. Following the conclusion of the Jurassic World trilogy starring Chris Pratt’s Owen and Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire, the seventh installment in the Jurassic franchise focuses on Scarlett Johansson who plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team (Mahershala Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team member) on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material.
When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsised by marauding aquatic dinosaurs, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park.
There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
Jonathan Bailey plays paleontologist Dr Henry Loomis.
It is confirmed through story details and the general setting of Jurassic World Rebirth that the movie takes place on a new island.
“We go up towards Barbados, avoid government patrol, but there aren’t that many anymore”, says Ali.
“Why’s that? asks Loomis.
Ali replies, laughing loudly: “No one’s dumb enough to go where we’re going.”
The movie releases July 2. (NS)
