How I would Plot a Jurassic World Sequel: Bonus Edition

Venture into the Lost World…One Minute at a Time

Your source for prehistoric knowledge!

A warm welcome to The Palaeo Minute!

Welcome to this second bonus edition of The Palaeo Minute. In this edition, I wanted to share how I would approach writing a new Jurassic World sequel, and why I believe the franchise would receive help from having a palaeontologist directly involved in the script writing process.

This bonus edition explores:

  • A New Opening: Explore how a sequel could begin with scientific mystery rather than the usual early‑film disaster.
  • Dinosaurs as Animals: Discover how natural behaviour, interspecies interactions, & sequences from the novels could improve a sequel film.
  • Scientists Who Shine: Discover why palaeontologists & researchers deserve to be written as capable, charismatic figures again.
  • A Fresh Direction: Learn how rooting the story in real science can restore awe, tension, & authenticity to the Jurassic World franchise.

  • Shaping the First Editions: The editorial decisions, thematic planning, & symbolic choices that laid the foundation for the newsletter’s tone & identity.
  • Inside the Tyrannosaurid Edition: A dive into the research, structure, & storytelling that made Newsletter 2 a palaeontological powerhouse.

I am launching the UK Founder Audit Programme to help museums, theme parks, travelling exhibitions, and animatronic manufacturers upgrade the scientific accuracy, realism, and educational value of their dinosaur and prehistoric exhibits. UK Founder Audit Programme Many dinosaur exhibits in world‑class attractions contain scientific inaccuracies because palaeontology has evolved so quickly. These issues quietly reduce immersion and storytelling impact. A one time launch phase programme for UK organisations offering the first scientific accuracy audit of your dinosaur models and exhibits. Only 3 organisations will ever hold Founder status. Applications open August 2026.
