Jurassic Park Series

[Alien³]

By this time next year you guys will know everything about Jurassic Park 17.

Baryonyx, Metriacanthosaurus, Stegosaurus and Pteranodon were all on InGen's original list. The first two were marked on the tour map, but probably weren't in their enclosures for some reason. Stegosaurus is listed on the embryo storage cannister, and Pteranodon is inferred from an advert while they're having dinner.

Ankylosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus weren't originally on Nublar, but are seen on Sorna in the later films.

Apatosaurus is in the books. Depending on who you ask, there may be hints of it in the films too.
Edmontosaurus is new to the series, but is very similar to Maiasaura which is in the books. It also explains a mystery hadrosaur head in The Lost World's rex nest.
Microceratus is new, but is very similar to Leptoceratops, which is in an early Lost World draft (and behaviourally were inspired by the first book's Othnielia).
Suchomimus is new too, but the comment in JP3 about Spinosaurus having a "Suchomimus snout" caused some confusion. I guess this is intended to clear that up.

Mosasaurus is new, obviously, unless you count the game (though I think that's supposed to be Tylosaurus).
Dimorphodon is wholly new, and a very cool addition in my opinion.

I assumed it was Edmontosaurus we saw in Jurassic Park 3, when they were running from the raptors early on. They also appeared in Operation Genesis, so it's not a completely new addition to the series. Reading the wiki, it doesn't mention anything about it being in the stampede scene, but apparently embryos of it are seen in the lab.

The Jurassic Park wiki says that Microceratus was in the novel. I can't remember if this is true or not though, it's been a while since I read the books.

And yeah it was a Tylosaurus in the game, not Mosasaurus.
And Dimorphodon was in the Lost World PSX game, so again it's not completely new to the series.

JW dinosaur discussion

If I remember rightly, it's Corythosaurus and Parasaurolophus in JP3's stampede. You'll immediately tell Edmontosaurus apart because it's the only hadrosaur in the series without a sexy head crest.
There's some uncertainty about the embalmed dino foetus, some people think it might be a sauropod. I've just found the prop on Google image search, it does look more like a hadrosaur to me.

Just looked up Microceratus online too, and realised why it's new to me - my version of Jurassic Park uses 'Callovosaurus' (a small ornithopod) instead of 'Microceratops'. So yup, that one's in the books.

Interesting that they're looking to the games for species, with Dimorphodon (which must be the only place it's appeared in the series - it's an odd animal to just pull out of nowhere). Makes you wonder if they are going to take the Telltale JP game as canon afterall.

Anyway, might be interesting to list the species that don't seem to have made the cut.

Spoiler

-Brachiosaurus
-Dilophosaurus
-Corythosaurus
-Mamenchisaurus
-Ceratosaurus
-Spinosaurus
-Compsognathus (which was one of Nublar's 15 species, along with Sorna obviously)
-Segisaurus (JP1 unseen species, listed on tour map and embryo cannister. Tiny coelophysoid, would have looked similar to the compies)
-Proceratosaurus (unseen species on Isla Nublar. Dog-sized pursuit predator, a very early tyrannosauroid)
-Herrerasaurus (another unseen Nublar species, this one definitely wasn't in its enclosure during the film. One of the earliest dinosaurs, tiger-sized and pretty damn lethal)

And Velociraptor isn't on the list, but we know it's in the film. Maybe it's not on display on account of looking bullshit.

If Trevorrow is as much of a video game geek as he seems (He did play through some of the old NES Jurassic Park games for research lol), i dont think he'll go out of his way to contradict the Telltale game. There might be a reference, even.

[Elliott]

Well, even though the list states no velociraptors they are still in the movie.

This was posted onto twitter and confirmed to be from the movie;

This will be such a strange film.

[scarhunter92]

As cool as that list is, I doubt we'll be seeing all of those dinos in the film. It's just a tourist brochure. And some of them won't get more than a few seconds of screen time.

Spoiler

I really, really want to see Baryonix or Suchomimus.

SUCHOMIMUS MUST BE IN THE MOVIE.

Or Universal dies. All of it.

Agreed with all that. Though it's a bit weird that both of them are on the list, come to think of it.

Official Jurassic World promo poster. Will be sold at Comic Con this year. Limited run, apparently.



Decent.

Love it.

[First Blood]

Great piece. The old busted up truck is what I love most about it.

It looks great.
