It's taken five films and a Netflix series but we have confirmation that Star Wars exists in the Jurassic World universe thanks to Camp Cretaceous

We finally have confirmation that Star Wars exists in the Jurassic World universe thanks to Camp Cretaceous. Netflix's PG-rated animated Jurassic World series spin-off of the phenomenally popular Jurassic World films follows the (mis-)fortunes of six mismatched teens as they struggle to survive the events of Colin Trevorrow's 2015 blockbuster Jurassic World. The show's events take place concurrently with those of the film as the kids attempt to cross the island and return to relative safety when the theme turns to chaotic carnage.

Despite some effective and tense set pieces, the show has received a mixed reception due to what some critics called unoriginal character designs and thin plotting. It's not without its flaws but there's no denying that the series captures the tone of the rebooted Jurassic World franchise which, to be fair to Camp Cretaceous's creators, isn't too tightly plotted either (as proven by the crater-sized plotholes left behind by the 2018 installment Fallen Kingdom). One thing that Camp Cretaceous can undeniably boast, though, is a bit of hitherto-unseen franchise crossover.

Thanks to occasionally insufferable self-proclaimed "alpha male" Kenji Kon, fans of the franchise can now say for certain that the Star Wars films do exist in the universe of Jurassic World. When the character grabs a flashlight from the monorail's wall he excitedly imitates a lightsaber (whooshing sounds and everything) as he notes that this's the first piece of working equipment the group has encountered since their arrival. He then promptly drops it which is very in-character, as is Kenji seeing himself as the heroic Jedi in this and every adventure.

Despite a five-film run, this marks the first time that the franchise has references the Star Wars films. It's unusual as the first two films in the original Jurassic Park trilogy, 1993's Jurassic Park and 1997's The Lost World, were directed by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg frequently collaborates with Star Wars creator George Lucas, and the pair share credit for the phenomenally popular Indiana Jones franchise (at least for the parts that aren't copied from James Bond). So it's surprising to see that Spielberg's science-run-amok monster movie series took this long to sneak in an acknowledgment of his colleague's phenomenally popular and influential space opera film saga.

Still, better late than never, and there's no better moment for Kenji to reference the Star Wars films than in this brief bit of comic relief. After all, Lucas' nine-film saga is famous for balancing pathos, action, and laughs, and indeed Kenji's jokes soon prove to be some very necessary relief. The scene immediately before the monorail ride is a nail-biting T-rex chase that the characters barely survive, and the brief bit of camaraderie in the carriage is followed by the devastating, surprisingly bleak ending of Camp Cretaceous.

Confirmation of connections between the animated Camp Cretaceous series and Jurassic World was revealed during a virtual NYCC Jurassic World panel.

Connections between Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and the Jurassic World live-action film have been confirmed. It’s been nearly 30 years since the first film adaptation of author Michael Creighton’s acclaimed novel arrived, and the franchise is still going strong.

The most recent addition to the concept of dinosaurs being brought back to life in our current era is Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. The animated series kicked off on Netflix last month and so far has been quite enthusiastically embraced by fans and critics. Following six teenagers who’ve been selected for a new summer camp on Isla Nublar, it isn’t long before the inherent problems within Jurassic World begin to affect the young campers directly. The series offers fresh takes on familiar issues within the franchise – mainly in that for once, it’s children who are in charge rather than being led and rescued by adults. This independence is referenced throughout the series in obvious ways, though not every detail about the new series is straightforward. Some specifics have required a keen eye, and direct connections with the Jurassic World film franchise haven’t necessarily been confirmed.

During the Camp Cretaceous virtual panel at this year’s New York Comic-Con, connections between the animated series and the live-action Jurassic World film were officially confirmed. As can be learned from the embedded Screen Rant YouTube video above, the exact gyrosphere that Zach and Grey were in when the Indominus was attacking during Jurassic World is indeed a real and intentional part of Camp Cretaceous. Another nod included in the animated series to the live-action film was when the teens are trying to figure out how to drive a van. After agreeing that a car can’t be much harder to drive than a gyrosphere, one of the teens' remarks that the gyrosphere had a Jimmy Fallon tutorial. Of course, Fallon has a cameo in Jurassic World, when Zach and Grey first climb into the gyrosphere. Also discussed is how the kids of both the animated series and the film connect in the face of danger.

The more that fans look and compare the stories and characters of Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World, the more similarities there’s bound to be. Before releasing the animated series, much effort was made to ensure that Camp Cretaceous fit the mold of what a Jurassic series should be. At one point, original Jurassic Park director Steven Spielberg had advised Camp Cretaceous’ creators that he didn’t want them to do a “kiddie version” of everything that has come before in the iconic franchise. This is entirely understandable, and without attention to detail, the animated series likely wouldn’t have received much praise from the films' fans.

As things currently stand, Camp Cretaceous season 2 has already been confirmed, meaning that fans are sure to see more connections with the films in future episodes. This isn’t to say that the animated series doesn’t have its own thing going on, nor does it mean that the series can’t build new connections that could be taken up in future Jurassic films. It does mean that the world that this franchise inhabits will continue to grow and expand, sometimes in ways fans of the movies could have never imagined.

Jurassic World: Dominion may have been pushed back to 2022, but Jeff Goldblum has given thirsty fans quite the gift to tide them over until then. On Instagram late Friday, the actor recreated his iconic Jurassic Park pose, unbuttoned shirt, oiled up chest, and all.

Goldblum reproduced the memorable 1993 shot as a reward to fans who registered to vote ahead of Election Day next month. “WOW! Thank you to everyone who used my @HeadCount page to make sure that you’re #GoodToVote!” Goldblum wrote on Instagram.

“Nearly 3,000 of you are ready for this November’s election. Here’s your reward… how time flies.” Indeed, it’s been 27 long years since Dr. Ian Malcolm first posed ever so seductively. The fact that Goldblum, who turns 68 in just a few weeks, still looks this good should probably be a crime. Like, does he work out with Bruce Springsteen or something?

Bask in all of Goldblum’s glory down below and see how his 2020 pic compares to the original.

As EW notes, this isn’t the first time Goldblum has used his Jurassic Park looks to encourage voter engagement. Previously, he and fellow Jurassic World: Dominion costars Sam Neill and Laura Dern linked up to reeanct another legendary scene from the original film.

The moment that Jurassic World: Dominion was announced as moving its release date into 2022, I remember reading one of my friends posting the news with the message “Bad news for Mike.” To be fair, I do feel that the extra year worth of wait time to see a movie I’ve been anticipating since 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is, indeed, bad news.

However, seeing as it’s a call that was made in the name of safety and giving the film its own space in what’s looking like an increasingly crowded 2021, it’s easy to be an adult about the whole thing and accept it as a bittersweet necessity. It also helps that the Jurassic World: Dominion team put out a teaser poster that I’m ready to purchase and mount on my wall ASAP, as it calls back to some of the things I love about the original Jurassic Park.

Before we really dig into the dino DNA that awaits in this poster, let’s take a moment to swiftly discuss what’s going on here. Jurassic World: Dominion released a simple one-sheet that boasts some crucial information. A massive cast block sits atop the image, with some old friends like Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard as obvious additions in the mix, as well as an official confirmation that Campbell Scott is, indeed, going to be a part of it all.

All of the names we see are pretty much who we’ve come to expect to be part of the Jurassic World threequel’s cast, though it should also be noted that it never gets old seeing Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum’s names on anything Jurassic-related. Then there’s the image itself, the meat of this dinosaur tease. It’s the metaphorical rug that ties the room together, as the center of the Jurassic World: Dominion poster is a gigantic amber fossil, which, as you’ll see below, is symbolic for a number of reasons.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this image is something that most Jurassic Park fans still remember clearly to this day. For people who read Michael Crichton’s source novel, or even for 10-year old kids whose aunt and uncle brought them to a nighttime showing at the Loews Seacourt 10 and let them have their own popcorn combo, seeing that first amber fossil in the mine was as powerful of an image as opening that film with a Velociraptor devouring a poor, unfortunate park worker.

Seeing a mosquito trapped in that transparent golden rock was already cool enough. That didn’t stop director Steven Spielberg and director of photography Dean Cundey from pushing that image’s worth even harder, as a nice and close zoom gave us a clear look at the object of affection for many parties. Amber, as we’d come to learn, held the key to dinosaurs coming back to our world. It was practically gold itself, and John Williams’ treatment of the moment you’re about to see made this small rock feel as massive as the Ark of the Covenant:

In the world of Jurassic Park, amber is the bridge between extinction and resurrection, allowing Sir Richard Attenborough’s John Hammond to put his company, InGen, on the top of the genetics business food chain. It’s what made the park work, and it’s ultimately what brought it down, so using amber as a symbol to promote Jurassic World: Dominion only further ties this new film to the legacy of 1993’s unexpected blockbuster. With the return of nefarious corporate spy/notorious briber Lewis Dodgson to the forefront, and Campbell Scott allegedly playing him, the pursuit of the DNA that was the solution to and cause of all of InGen’s problems could be playing another major part in the franchise.

Genetic power plays aside, there’s another massive reason that Jurassic World: Dominion’s poster makes me exceedingly happy it exists. One of the greatest lessons in movie marketing is that the teaser, both in terms of a poster or a trailer, counts for everything. Many iconic images have lured audiences into theaters with a simple, yet strong premise. Director Colin Trevorrow’s return to the Jurassic World franchise understands this lesson, and it has no excuse not to, as it’s following in the footsteps of its predecessors.

Stretching all the way back to Jurassic Park’s initial marketing push, there was one image that captivated the imagination of the entire planet, myself included. Everyone in 1993 remembers what I’m about to show you, as for months you couldn’t escape seeing the Jurassic Park logo. Posters, merchandise and even the tie-in reprinting of the Michael Crichton novel all bore that image of a dinosaur skeleton looming over a tree line in beautiful red, black and yellow. While the overall package looks more like some of the rejected posters for the original film, you can’t look at Jurassic World: Dominion’s teaser and not think of this beauty:

Much as humanity turned to amber fossils to bring back the dinosaurs, the marketing team on Jurassic World: Dominion has returned to its roots in moviemaking hype and delivered one hell of a teaser. Another year’s worth of waiting is nothing compared to the 65 million+ years that separate us and the dinosaurs. It’s not ideal, and it’s going to leave a lot more room to wonder just what’s going to happen. But at least in the extra time on the clock, there’s a brand new image to obsess over, on top of the recently announced second season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, which is now set to hit Netflix at some point in 2021. Life finds a way indeed, my fellow Jurassic fans.

Jurassic World: Dominion will arrive in theaters on June 10, 2022, but that’s shouldn’t push you away from taking a look at what’s still headed to theaters in the meantime. 2020 still has some theatrical releases on the cards, and 2021 is getting more stuffed by the day. So be sure to check out the respective release schedules we’re always updating for both of those years, as it’s always fun to look forward to a night at the movies. Oh, and if anyone at Universal could point me to how I could grab one of those posters, I’d be very appreciative.

Paleontologists from Universiti Malaya (UM) have discovered the fossil of a stegodon, an extinct elephant, in a limestone cave in Gopeng, Perak.

It is the first stegodon fossil to have been discovered in Malaysia, with a rough geological age of between 30,000 and 80,000 years.

Lead researcher Dr Ros Fatihah Muhammad from UM's Geology Department and vertebrate paleontologist and zooarcologist Lim Tze Tshen from the Paleontological Society of Malaysia were the scientists behind the discovery.

Dr Ros said the discovery was possible due to information from a cave settlers group, Kinta Valley Watch, as well as her team's survey and research.

"Studies so far show that the remains of this stegodon is not associated with ancient humans.

"However, this study is still very important as it is related to the history of the migration of ancient fauna and also environmental changes in the South-East Asian region," she said.

According to Mr Lim, who was the one to identify the fossil as a stegodon, the imaging process performed by Prof Dr Norliza Ibrahim and Dr Mohd Azmi Abdul Razak from UM's Faculty of Dentistry found that the fossil was most likely a stegodon of less than two years old.

"There is evidence from this stegodon's discovery site and other paleontological sites that show the existence of extinct animal remains in Peninsular Malaysia such as orang utans, Sumatran rhinos, Java rhinos, Asian black bears and a rat known to be extinct from the planet," said Lim.

Congratulating the researchers, UM vice-chancellor Abdul Rahim Hashim said the discovery was a milestone in the field of quaternary paleontological studies in Malaysia.

"Well done and congratulations to Dr Ros Fatihah and her team, who have done us proud!

"So far, only two Master of Medicine have been awarded in this field. The first was for fossils and paleo-ecology of large mammals, while the second was for fossils and paleo-ecology of rats."

Paleontologists have found the remains of Mesopithecus pentelicus — an extinct species of Old World monkey that lived in Europe and Asia between 7 and 5 million years ago — in the Shuitangba lignite mine in northeastern Yunnan Province, China. The discovery indicates that this monkey species existed in Asia at the same time as apes, and is probably the ancestor of some of the modern monkeys in the area.

“This is significant because they are some of the very oldest fossils of monkeys outside of Africa,” said Professor Nina Jablonski, an anthropologist in the Department of Anthropology at the Pennsylvania State University.

“It is close to or actually the ancestor of many of the living monkeys of East Asia. One of the interesting things from the perspective of paleontology is that this monkey occurs at the same place and same time as ancient apes in Asia.”

Professor Jablonski and colleagues studied the 6.4-million-year-old lower jawbone and the upper portion of the leg bone found in the Shuitangba mine.

The two specimens were found in close proximity and are probably from the same individual of Mesopithecus pentelicus.

Also uncovered slightly lower was a left calcaneus (heel bone) that belongs to the same species.

This specimen was examined by a research team led by Dr. Dionisios Youlatos from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Dr. Xueping Ji from the Yunnan Institute of Cultural Relics and Yunnan University.

“The significance of the calcaneus is that it reveals the monkey was well adapted for moving nimbly and powerfully both on the ground and in the trees,” Professor Jablonski said.

“This locomotor versatility no doubt contributed to the success of the species in dispersing across woodland corridors from Europe to Asia.”

The jawbone and the upper portion of the leg bone indicate that the individual was female.

They suggest that these monkeys were probably ‘jacks of all trades’ able to navigate in the trees and on land.

The teeth indicate they could eat a wide variety of plants, fruits and flowers, while apes eat mostly fruit.

“The thing that is fascinating about this monkey, that we know from molecular anthropology, is that, like other colobines (Old World monkeys), it had the ability to ferment cellulose,” Professor Jablonski said.

“It had a gut similar to that of a cow.”

These monkeys are successful because they can eat low-quality food high in cellulose and obtain sufficient energy by fermenting the food and using the subsequent fatty acids then available from the bacteria. A similar pathway is used by ruminant animals like cows, deer and goats.

“Monkeys and apes would have been eating fundamentally different things,” Professor Jablonski said.

“Apes eat fruits, flowers, things easy to digest, while monkeys eat leaves, seeds and even more mature leaves if they have to.”

“Because of this different digestion, they don’t need to drink free water, getting all their water from vegetation.”

These monkeys do not have to live near bodies of water and can survive periods of dramatic climatic change.

“These monkeys are the same as those found in Greece during the same time period,” Professor Jablonski said.

“Suggesting they spread out from a center somewhere in central Europe and they did it fairly quickly. That is impressive when you think of how long it takes for an animal to disperse tens of thousands of kilometers through forest and woodlands.”

While there is evidence that Mesopithecus pentelicus began in Eastern Europe and moved out from there, the exact patterns are unknown, but the dispersal was rapid in evolutionary terms.

During the end of the Miocene when this monkey species was moving out of Eastern Europe, apes were becoming extinct or nearly so, everywhere except in Africa and parts of Southeast Asia.

“The Late Miocene was a period of dramatic environmental change,” Professor Jablonski said.

“What we have at this site is a fascinating snapshot of the end of the Miocene — complete with one of the last apes and one of the new order of monkeys.”

“This is an interesting case in primate evolution because it testifies to the value of versatility and adaptability in diverse and changing environments.”

“It shows that once a highly adaptable form sets out, it is successful and can become the ancestral stock of many other species.”

The research appears in two papers in the Journal of Human Evolution.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous fixes a major mistake that young Timothy made in the original movie when identifying big dinosaurs.

WARNING: The following contains spoilers for the first season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, now streaming on Netflix.

Netflix's Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous might be viewed as just a lighthearted animated series, but it's far darker than many first assumed. That said, it does hold some lighter nods to the Jurassic World film it runs alongside, as well as other Easter eggs that fans of the original trilogy will love, as kids in an adventure park on Isla Nublar have to contend with rampaging dinosaurs.

For instance, just before all the chaos occurs, there's a moment of levity that pokes fun at, and fixes, a major mistake from the film that launched the franchise, 1993's Jurassic Park.

In that film, young Timothy Murphy misidentifies a Brachiosaurus herd as "brontosauruses." He later corrects himself, which alludes to the error made in the original script by screenwriter David Koepp, who mistook a Brachiosaurus for a Brontosaurus. It also riffs on Timothy believing the latter was the correct terminology for this particular species, when he and his sister, Lex, stood in awe of all the creatures.

Considering the Jurassic Park films' love of the Brachiosaurus, it makes sense for the dinosaur to reappear in Camp Cretaceous. And along with the dino is the lead character, Darius, a dino-nerd who spots the creatures -- something he always dreamed of seeing with his now-deceased father. He has a knack for calling out facts from fiction, correcting errors and showing people up. He also tries to impress his crush, Brooklynn, as she vlogs to her thousands of social media followers, but this brings the wannabe alpha-male Kenji, who doesn't know he's setting himself up for failure.

Kenji is as arrogant as can be, so when he makes that all-too familiar-mistake with a Brontosaurus, Darius calls him out. Darius immediately corrects him, and says it's actually a Brachiosaurus, revealing it's "a common mistake," which even experts can make. He has a smug expression, and shoots the audience a sly look because, while it's a clear jab at Koepp, it's also a shot at Timothy -- one he's all too eager to take to impress the rest of the group. Well, except for Kenji, who makes it clear he'll find some way to get back at Darius for being a know-it-all. Regardless, the moment is a nice callback that only diehard fans will catch, and serves as proof that the franchise doesn't take itself too seriously.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Colin Trevorrow, Scott Kreamer and Lane Lueras, with Zack Stentz serving as a consulting producer. The series is streaming now on Netflix.

Spain is set to launch a Jurassic Park-style dinosaur theme park with life-size dinosaurs, tapas kiosks and a zip line, opening in Malaga in 2021.

The attraction, named Rincón de la Victoria Dinosaur and Zip Line Theme Park, will boast excavation activities, life-size dinosaurs, and a zip line (via The Sun).

The theme park will feature 35 dinosaur replicas. More than half of these will be to scale, and 16 of the dinos will be animatronic (via Euro Weekly News).

There will also be a hiking trail resembling the Jurassic period in southern Europe, as well as activities for children to play as archaeologists.

In addition, there will be restaurants, tapas kiosks, viewpoints, science exhibitions and a gift shop at the theme park, which has an area of ​​68,000 square metres.

The €3.6 million project is scheduled to open its first phase, which includes the dino land, in 2021. Construction of the zip line will start in 2024.

Rincón de la Victoria Dinosaur and Zip Line Theme Park

Francisco Salado, mayor of Rincón de la Victoria, told local media: “This theme park will be a tourist attraction with education elements based on the world of dinosaurs, where both large and small can actively enjoy their time.”

Meanwhile, Universal Orlando Resort finally unveiled its Jurassic World VelociCoaster, heading to Islands of Adventure in 2021 as the fastest and tallest launch coaster in Florida.

Jurassic World VelociCoaster will be the latest addition to the immersive land of Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure, which offers guests a chance to meet life-size dinosaurs while enjoying the Jurassic Park River Adventure and Raptor Encounter.

Last year, Universal Studios Hollywood officially opened Jurassic World – The Ride, a new thrill ride that uses state-of-the-art visual effects and technology.

A new species of an ancient marine reptile evolved to strike terror into the hearts of the normally safe, fast-swimming fish has been identified by a team of University of Alberta researchers, shedding light on what it took to survive in highly competitive ecosystems.

Gavialimimus almaghribensis, a new type of mosasaur, was cataloged and named by an international research team led by master's student Catie Strong, who performed the research a year ago as part of an undergrad honors thesis guided by vertebrate paleontologist Michael Caldwell, professor in the Faculty of Science, along with collaborators from the University of Cincinnati and Flinders University.

More than a dozen types of mosasaur—which can reach 17 meters in length and resemble an overgrown komodo dragon—ruled over the marine environment in what is now Morocco at the tail end of the Late Cretaceous period between 72 and 66 million years ago.

What differentiates Strong's version, however, is that it features a long, narrow snout and interlocking teeth—similar to the crocodilian gharials, a relative of crocodiles and alligators.

Strong said this discovery adds a layer of clarity to a diverse picture seemingly overcrowded with mega-predators all competing for food, space and resources.

"Its long snout reflects that this mosasaur was likely adapted to a specific form of predation, or niche partitioning, within this larger ecosystem."

Strong explained there is evidence that each species of the giant marine lizard shows adaptations for different prey items or styles of predation.

"For some species, these adaptations can be very prominent, such as the extremely long snout and the interlocking teeth in Gavialimimus, which we hypothesized as helping it to catch rapidly moving prey," she said.

She added another distinctive species would be Globidens simplex—described last year by the Caldwell lab—which has stout, globular teeth adapted for crushing hard prey like shelled animals.

"Not all of the adaptations in these dozen or so species are this dramatic, and in some cases there may have been some overlap in prey items, but overall there is evidence that there's been diversification of these species into different niches," Strong noted.

Alternatively, the main contrasting hypothesis would be a scenario of more direct competition among species. Strong said given the anatomical differences among these mosasaurs, though, the idea of niche partitioning seems more consistent with the anatomy of these various species.

"This does help give another dimension to that diversity and shows how all of these animals living at the same time in the same place were able to branch off and take their own paths through evolution to be able to coexist like that," she said.

The remains of the G. almaghribensis included a meter-long skull and some isolated bones. There was nothing to explain the cause of death of the specimen, which was uncovered in a phosphate mine in Morocco that is rich in fossils.

"Morocco is an incredibly good place to find fossils, especially in these phosphate mines," Strong said. "Those phosphates themselves reflect sediments that would have been deposited in marine environments, so there are a lot of mosasaurs there."
