Universal Asked That Scenes Be Added Back Into ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-27 05:15:41

There’s a reason why the biggest, most famous filmmakers in the world all want “final cut” of their movies. It’s because they don’t want anyone, least of all a studio executive, to have an impact on their vision. More often than not, when studios meddle in editing, it’s to make films shorter. However, the exact opposite happened on the new Jurassic film, Jurassic World Rebirth. Rebirth started shooting in June 2024, finished in October 2024 and, right after Christmas, director Gareth Edwards wa

In 1970, the BBC visited his Somerset dairy farm to find out what made it unique.

Gareth Edwards Sees ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ as a Metaphor for the Film Industry

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-30 13:30:54

Gareth Edwards knows a thing or two about sci-fi films. And whether he’s creating his own unique worlds, like Monsters or The Creator, or working in someone else’s, like Godzilla or Rogue One, the director thinks one thing links the entire genre together. “[Sci-fi] films are never really about spaceships, robots or dinosaurs,” he told io9. “They feel pointless if they are. They [only] have meaning when the whole thing is kind of an analogy for something else.” So, what is Edwards’ latest film,

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

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-01 05:00:55

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. On the one hand, you understand the score elicits emotions very specific to that one movie and won’t always necessarily line up with the story being told. 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

I Watched ‘Jurassic World Dominion: Extended Version’ So You Don’t Have To

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-01 17:51:37

If you’ve ever been curious to see the impact of editing on a movie, the extended version of Jurassic World Dominion is a fascinating case. Clocking in 14 minutes longer than the original film, the extended version (which is streaming on Peacock) is somehow both better and worse than its predecessor at the exact same time. The new scenes add welcome scope and pathos to the film, taking a movie that was all over the place and giving it some welcome focus. However, those scenes are also poison to

The economics behind "Basic Economy" – A masterclass in price discrimination

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice.

Roland just released a weird little riff on an acoustic handpan

Synthesizer giant Roland just announced a fairly bizarre contraption. The Mood Pan is the company's digital take on an acoustic handpan. For the uninitiated, a handpan is a version of the steelpan instrument that's been popular in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1930s. It's widely considered to be the only truly new acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century. However, handpans and steelpans take serious skill to play.
