Watch This New And Epic 'Jurassic World' Trailer
A bigger and better Jurassic World trailer has dropped—and it's full of raptors running, dinosaurs chomping, and more of the hunky Chris Pratt warning us about the problems with genetically-modified dinosaurs.
Back in November Universal Pictures released a full-length Jurassic World trailer, but this one is a lot darker and heart-pounding. Imagine more carnage, more machine guns and epic explosions. We never seem to learn our lesson about playing God with dinosaurs!
In the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park franchise, Isla Nublar is now a dinosaur theme park attraction much like SeaWorld. Scientists create a highly-intelligent, hybrid dinosaur that ends up having the ability to "kill anything that moves."
Jurassic World is slated to be released in theaters on June 12.
