Jurassic World (2015)

Jurassic World is a 2015 American  science fiction adventure film directed by Colin Trevorrow, written by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Derek Connolly & Trevorrow and starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. It is the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park series. Set twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World takes place on the same fictional island of Isla Nublar, where a fully functioning dinosaur theme park has operated for ten years. The park plunges into chaos when a genetically modified dinosaur, Indominus rex, breaks loose and runs rampant across the island.

Universal Pictures intended to begin production on a fourth Jurassic Park film in 2004 for a summer 2005 release, but the film entered over a decade of development hell while the script went through revisions. Steven Spielberg, director of the first two Jurassic Park films, acted as executive producer, as he had for Jurassic Park III. Thomas Tull also acted as executive producer;[5] his production company, Legendary Pictures, funded approximately 20 percent of the film's budget.[6] Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley produced                                                        the film.


Jurassic World was released starting from June 10, 2015 in over 60 countries.[7] The film received positive reviews from film critics, who praised it for its visuals and musical score but drew some criticism for its tone and writing. The film has generated over $1.656 billion in box office revenue and set numerous records, including the biggest opening weekend in North America and worldwide.[4] The film, without inflation adjustment, became the third highest-grossing film of all time during its theatrical run, as well as the highest-grossing film of 2015, and the highest grossing film in the Jurassic Park film series. A sequel is scheduled to be released on June 22, 2018.

In March 2014, Brian Tyler signed on to compose the film's score, replacing the composer for the first film, Alan Silvestri, while also marking his third film collaboration with Marvel following Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World in 2013.[150] Tyler stated that the score pays homage to John Williams' scores for Star Wars, Superman, and Raiders of the Lost Ark and references the scores for the Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America films in order to create a similar musical universe, saying, "That's the goal for sure. You have to build in nostalgia and do it upfront so you can relate to it."[151] Danny Elfman also contributed music to the score,[152] using Silvestri's theme from the first film to create a new hybrid theme.[153] Hollywood Records released the album digitally on April 28, 2015, and in physical formats on May 19
