Short description

Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond.

What's left behind the scenes

  • During the audition process, Ty Simpkins and Nick J. Robinson were asked to sit and scream, pretending a dinosaur was about to eat them.
  • Kristen Stewart was considered for the role of Claire, but was ultimately deemed too young for the part.
  • Kristen Stewart was considered for the role of Claire, but she was ultimately deemed too young for the part.
  • The scene of the Gallimimus panic flight was filmed at Kualoa Ranch, near the location where a similar scene for the movie 'Jurassic Park' (1993) was shot.
  • Filming began on April 14, 2014, in Hawaii.
  • Most of the film was shot in 35mm. However, 65mm cameras were used for location shooting in Hawaii. Notably, one of the 65mm cameras used in this film had previously been used in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
  • This is the first film in the series not shot at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Louisiana was chosen instead due to the significant tax incentives offered there.
  • The film's original title was "Jurassic Park 4: Extinction." However, in September 2013, the film was renamed "Jurassic World."
  • After the release of the franchise's third installment in 2001, work on a sequel stalled for more than ten years. In 2011, at San Diego Comic-Con, Steven Spielberg announced that a script for the fourth part was currently in development. In June 2012, it became known that Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver would write the final version of the screenplay. In March 2013, it was announced that Colin Trevorrow would direct the film. In November 2013, it was reported that Chris Pratt was in talks for the lead role, and in February 2014, his participation was confirmed.
  • The first film in the series, which Kathleen Kennedy did not produce.
  • At the end of the film, when the main group of heroes was surrounded by raptors, Owen threw his weapon on the ground to avoid provoking Blue (the raptor's name) into a negative reaction. With the change of shots, it can be noticed how the weapon appears in his right hand and then disappears.
  • The film's script was written in three weeks, and the studio insisted that production begin as early as June 2013. However, Steven Spielberg decided that more time was needed to make a truly good film and halted the premature start of production. Spielberg only approved the script in September 2013.
  • The gyrosphere was Steven Spielberg's idea. The set for the scenes with the gyrosphere was built in a valley near Kualoa Ranch, located in Oahu (Honolulu, Hawaii, USA).
  • The first film in the series not produced by Kathleen Kennedy.
  • Armie Hammer, Henry Cavill, Glenn Howerton, Jason Sudeikis, Garrett Hedlund, Josh Brolin, John Krasinski, Chris Pratt, and Jason Statham were considered for the role of Owen. Pratt eventually landed the role.
  • During their auditions, Ty Simpkins and Nick J. Robinson had to sit and scream, pretending that a dinosaur was about to eat them.
  • When the dinosaur grabbed the transparent bubble with its teeth, it began to slam it against the ground. Children were inside, with their backs to the ground and facing the dinosaur. When the older brother unbuckled their seatbelts, they magically fell to the ground quickly, and afterwards it’s visible that the backs of the seats are facing towards the dinosaur’s mouth, while they are facing the ground.
  • When the film was in early development, Harrison Ford was planned to star in it, but he ultimately left the project.
  • After the release of the third installment of the franchise in 2001, work on a sequel stalled for over ten years. In 2011, at San Diego Comic-Con, Steven Spielberg announced that work on the screenplay for the fourth installment was currently underway. In June 2012, it became known that Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver would be the authors of the final version of the script. In March 2013, it was announced that Colin Trevorrow would direct the film. In November 2013, it became known that Chris Pratt was in negotiations for the lead role, and in February 2014 his participation was confirmed.

  • The gyrosphere was Steven Spielberg's idea. The set for the gyrosphere scenes was built in a valley near Kualoa Ranch, located on Oahu (Honolulu, Hawaii, USA).
  • During filming, the project was known as "Ebb Tide" to avoid information leaks. This title was chosen by Steven Spielberg long before Colin Trevorrow joined the project.
  • The idea of using sharks as food for the dinosaurs belonged to director Colin Trevorrow. He was inspired by Steven Spielberg's film "Jaws" (1975).

  • Jason Schwartzman was considered for the role of Lowry, but the part ultimately went to Jake Johnson.
  • The Universal Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida, was thoroughly researched when creating the park's control room. Designers also partially based it on NASA's control center.
  • Michael Giacchino replaced John Williams as the film's composer. Interestingly, Williams became the composer for J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015). Giacchino had written music for all of Abrams' previous films, while Williams had composed music for two of the three previous "Jurassic Park" films, and some of his musical themes were used in the third.
