Jurassic World Rebirth: David Koepp Reveals Movie Secrets | E! News ‘By Design’

i’m David Cap the screenwriter of Jurassic World Rebirth and this is By Design with EN steven Spielberg called me up and said “Would you ever want to do another one of those dinosaur movies?” And I said “If we had a good idea sure.” For me the exciting thing was to go into this world and tone that I loved so much because I did the first two and so I feel like okay I I have a handle on that i I like that i like the mixture of science and adventure and horror and funny things can I do that can I start over assuming all the stuff of the first six movies really happened can we now say “And then this happened and go in a in a different direction.” that freedom and that level of enthusiasm don’t come along very often don’t see that every day or ever it’s changed quite a bit from 1992 when I started writing um the first movie in that in 1992 we didn’t know if any of this was possible um some of the initial plan was for stop motion to be used as for the dinosaurs there’s going to be a lot of mechanical stuff which there is thanks to Stan Winston’s brilliant designs and execution but the whole CG element and can we see a dinosaur running can we see a T-Rex burst out of the trees and chase down a Galamus no one had any idea if that was possible or not cut to 32 years later well we know it’s possible but we’ve seen it a number of times now what can we see that’s we haven’t before and that becomes harder that’s why sequels are harder and later sequels become exponentially harder because you no longer have the advantage of novelty xavier well one of the things that was important to me is to see the dinosaurs in their environment a big part of the Jurassic World movies over the last couple movies has been exploring the idea of seeing them in human environments and what’s that like it started with the raptors in the kitchen in the first movie what if they were in our environment how terrifying would that be quite terrifying was the answer but I felt like that had been really fully explored by the end of Dominion and I wanted to go back to the idea of seeing dinosaurs in their natural environment maybe we should make it quick my working title for the movie was survival that theme was important to me because it’s not only about how do these animals survive in an environment that’s now hostile to them but how is each person in this movie surviving survival is a long shot that’s kind of our specialty you see every character comes into this movie in in a period of duress in their life in one way or another i didn’t want to just do you know a team on a mission something has to mess up the mission almost from the beginning because we don’t make movies about how well it’s going for everybody it’s what goes wrong and what do you do now so putting this family on a on a boat um made a lot of sense for me because it ties us into the really thrilling Mosasaur sequence in the middle of the movie and they are unwittingly taken along to the island i I feel like it gave me a chance to explore other characters these are family movies so I got to put an actual family in it and then I could have people talking about other things besides just this mission they were on they could talk about their lives and what they’re like and are we going to survive and you always want to put people in these situations who are unequipped and see what they do [Music] i think one of my favorite scenes to write is the what the hell do we do now scene there’s a scene maybe midway through the movie after the ocean sequence where things have gone very badly on the ocean now they’ve crashed the boat’s not going to work anymore they’re stuck on this island there’s dinosaurs they have a certain number of weapons and they spend about 3 four pages arguing about what do we do now i love that because the bar is very high the tensions are very high everybody’s under a lot of stress at this point um and they have to make a plan that we the audience feel like that’s a good plan that’s what I’d do come on run thanks for watching Jurassic World Re: Rebirth by Design i hope you enjoy the movie and the world we’ve built [Music]
