Snarling dinosaurs. Put them in anything and we’ll sit up and take notice. With another Jurassic World looming under the horror-centric eye of J.A. Bayona, this latest sliver of news has me wishing someone would just take my money now.

In a recent interview with Jurassic Outpost, Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow, who’s serving as producer and penning the sequel with co-writer Derek Connolly, Trevorrow had the following to say about the upcoming Jurassic World 2

It will be more suspenseful and scary. It’s just the way it’s designed; it’s the way the story plays out. I knew I wanted Bayona to direct it long before anyone ever heard that was a possibility, so the whole thing was just built around his skillset.

Even cooler?

There will be animatronics for sure. We’ll follow the same general rule as all of the films in the franchise which is the animatronic dinosaurs are best used when standing still or moving at the hips or the neck. They can’t run or perform complex physical actions, and anything beyond that you go to animation. The same rules applied in Jurassic Park. I think the lack of animatronics in Jurassic World had more to do with the physicality of the Indominus, the way the animal moved. It was very fast and fluid, it ran a lot, and needed to move its arms and legs and neck and tail all at once. It wasn’t a lumbering creature. We’ve written some opportunities for animatronics into [Jurassic World 2]—because it has to start at the script level—and I can definitely tell you that Bayona has the same priorities, he is all about going practical whenever possible.
