Overview

• The film is the seventh installment in the Jurassic franchise, directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Scarlett Johansson as covert-ops specialist Zora Bennett.
• Universal Pictures allocated a record €153 million budget—€100 million more than Spielberg’s 1993 original—to bring El Renacer to life.
• A genetically engineered mutant called ‘Distortus Rex,’ featuring six limbs and a bulbous skull, underscores the sequel’s focus on advanced DNA manipulation.
• Bennett’s mission collides with a family marooned by aquatic dinosaurs on an off-limits equatorial island housing a defunct Jurassic Park research center.
• With surviving dinosaurs confined to equatorial habitats off-limits to humans, the movie’s box office performance will determine the franchise’s future direction.
