How I would Plot a Jurassic World Sequel: Bonus Edition

Venture into the Lost World…One Minute at a Time

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.
