A new clip from Universal Pictures' Jurassic World hits the Internet a week before the film arrives in theaters worldwide.
In the clip titled "Wow Factor," park manager Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard, Terminator: Salvation) and dinosaur trainer Owen Grady (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy) discuss why they needed to create the movie's Big Bad, the genetically-modified super dinosaur dubbed "indominus Rex."
"The park needs a new attraction every few years in order to reinvigorate the public's interest, kind of like the Space Program," Claire asserts, "Corporate thought genetic modification would up the 'Wow' factor...The Indominus Rex makes us relevant again."
Meanwhile, Ibtimes.com reports that Howard shared her thoughts about both Jurassic World and Jurassic Park at an AOL Build discussion to promote the former. "I saw it opening weekend when it came out. I was 12 and my parents were super strict. It was rated PG-13, so I wasn't allowed to see it," she recalled. "But my parents went opening night and when he came home, my dad said, 'This is cinema history, you have to see this film.' So I saw it opening weekend."
Asked by a member of the audience about how the new movie stands up against the 1993 classic, she said, "It's pretty scary. I knew the movie and I've read the movie and I shot the movie and I saw it a week and a half ago for the first time and I was freaking out. It was pretty scary, but I will never compare anything to 'Jurassic Park' ever, because... It's 'Jurassic Park.'"
Poised to become one of the biggest box office draws of the summer of 2015, director Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World brings fans both old and new back to the island theme park. Set more than two decades after the events of the original Jurassic Park, Jurassic World opens June 12th in the United States, June 11th in the United Kingdom, and June 10th elsewhere.
