Brad Feld has spent decades operating by a simple principle: give without expecting anything in return. This philosophy goes beyond traditional pay-it-forward thinking, he says.

Gareth Edwards Toiled Over Using John Williams’ Music in ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-14 22:00:55

One of the weirdest choices made in the previous three Jurassic World films was not to lean on John Williams’ iconic score from the original Jurassic Park.

But, on the other hand, it’s a Jurassic Park movie; hit us with that John Williams goodness. Jurassic World Rebirth, which opens in theaters July 2, makes use of Williams’ themes at severa
