Dr. Ian Malcolm, reporting for duty!
While the full trailer for "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" won't drop until Thursday, Universal Pictures released a new behind the scenes look at the film, packed with new footage, scary moments from the set and the first glimpse of Jeff Goldblum's character returning to the dinosaur-filled franchise.
"We're literally blowing up the island," Chris Pratt explains of the "Jurassic World" sequel, which star Bryce Dallas Howard promises takes the series "where it's never gone before."
The footage shows a now-destroyed park, new faces and a freaky faceoff with a new breed of dinosaur: the Baryonyx. The sneak peek also makes sure to point out all the practical effects that will be used for the creatures, a shift from the previous movie, which relied heavily on CGI.
