Many are wondering if Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will be able to match up to the spectacle of the previous films. One person at least claims to know the answer, actor Josh Gad. Gad had apparently been privy to an early screening of the new Jurassic World movie, and he had nothing but good things to say about the upcoming sequel.
I may or may not have seen a certain upcoming Dinosaur movie with the guy from “Parks and Rec” and the girl from Black Mirror but if I did, I was blown away.

The series made a return after nearly 15 years with Jurassic World in 2015, following the famed trilogy that took the world by storm. The movie focused on the tried and tested, elegantly simple concept of the park being open and working, and then shit hits the fan. While Universal expected the movie to be a success, they couldn’t possibly have foreseen just how big it would become. It ended its box office run raking in a whopping $1.6 billion worldwide and it is currently the 4th highest grossing movie of all time. It didn’t take long for the studio to give the green light on the next movie, with J.A. Bayona assuming the role of directing for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
The plot of this movie sees returning characters Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) leading a rescue mission to Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano, only for them to find out that the company financing the mission has darker motives. The most recent trailer made the movie look like a hybrid of blockbuster and horror movie.
Anticipation has been steadily building for this film so Gad’s enthusiastic response won’t do anything to hurt the hype machine in any way. The final part of the trilogy has already been given the green light, with Jurassic World helmer Colin Trevorrow returning to co-write and direct.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will screen in cinemas on June 7.
