'Jurassic World' new poster and images released; Joss Whedon's apology
"Jurassic World" is nearing its June 12 release date and more promotional materials are being released. The latest set of images include set stills of actors Vincent D'Onofrio, Chris Pratt, and Bryce Dallas Howard. Perhaps the most interesting image, however, depicts a Mosasaurus ready to devour a shark.
The appearance of the Mosasaurus has been considered as one of the highlights of the trailers thus far, depicting how the park staff has to constantly introduce something bigger and scarier to entertain a crowd already saturated by the concept of living dinosaurs on display.
Many of the photos have been posted by MovieWeb, with some initially launched on Entertainment Weekly and the "Jurassic World" Twitter account. Ty Simpkins, Vincent D'Onofrio, and some of the dinosaurs are showcased with the released images, each one carrying a quote that gives some insight on the characters.
Unfortunately for fans looking forward to the movie, no clear shot of the Indominus Rex has yet been revealed. According to the film's official synopsis, the Indominus Rex is a new hybrid created by the park's staff to impress the crowd and keep people coming to the park.
In relation to "Jurassic World," director Joss Whedon recently accused the film of being "70's-era sexist." His comments were posted via Twitter in response to a short clip from the film depicting Bryce Dallas Howard conversing with Chris Pratt.
A new report by Variety states that Joss Whedon is backing down a little bit from his post. However, Joss Whedon isn't regretting what he said, he simply regrets that he said it via Twitter.
"I shouldn't have tweeted it," he told the publication. "I don't ever say things about other people's work that are negative. That's bad form. It's not what a gentleman would do."
"I forgot that I don't do that because I was frustrated," the director continued to explain. "I felt like I was seeing something that was problematic. What I said is pretty clear, but I think it was the wrong venue for me to be saying that. That's dinner party conversation."
