Well, to be completely frank... Bryce sounds really weird like that.

I dunno. I thought it was a weird spelling variation of Bruce, something that isn't uncommon in US-American names.

Considering the sheer success that this movie was (hell, we probably need a new word to describe this level of success), there is absolutely 100 percent that a sequel will come out.

The question is...what would it be like? Jurassic World got closed.

The answer probably lies in Wu.

If you ask me: A movie about a grizzled dinosaur hunter (played by Liam Neeson), who previously lost an eye to a T-Rex (but ripped off one of the T-Rex's teeth, which he has fashioned into a machete) during the events of Jurassic World. He is dropped at the island to retrieve some MacGuffin (probably some kind of back-up of the island's dinosaur archive or somesuch), but during the way he must survive against the wilderness and square off against his mortal arch-enemy alongside his Ragtag Bunch of Misfits.

Basically Moby-Dick WITH DINOSAURS.

Meh, it can't be any worse than the idiot ball they used in this one. My main question would be how he only lost an eye, but it's about on par with "why don't we just look over at this screen here and see if the dino actually escaped before opening the door?"

[up][up] Actual Moby Dick. Ice Age 3 was a comedy with Moby Dick elements.

Discounting the iRex, the only Rex that was set loose during the events of Jurassic World is sort of a protagonist at this point. If the movie opens with some asshole mercenary wanting to kill Rexy, most of the audience is going to be rooting for Rexy.

Were you supposed to be rooting for the whale in Moby Dick? I thought you were supposed to be rooting for Ishmael, the Viewpoint Protagonist swept up in Ahab's deranged venture?

Yes. Presumably Owen would be the token Ishmael of this concept.

At the same time, I don't think you're meant to really hate Ahab. He's a complex and flawed human figure rather than a straight-up villain, and his conflict with the whale (or in this case, dinosaur) is one of moral ambiguity.

Ehhh, I think I had enough of Owen's obnoxious efforts at playing the Only Sane Man role conflicting with his deep-seated compulsion to cock up his leg and mark his territory on everyone he interacted with.

What about Barry? He hit a lot of the same points Owen did in his short amount of screentime, but was nice and likable.

Watch the sequel is about Jurassic Land, the smaller, but still dinosaur filled park in San Francisco. Just fully parallel the original order.

I doubt they will but I'd get a kick out of that.

I'm baaaaaaack

Guys, the only plotline that makes sense is the introduction of accurate dinosaurs (and non-dinosaurs), the involvement of dangerous modern animals combined with incidents on the mainland.

Basically, a free-for-all between humans, other modern species, inaccurate monstrosities and genuine ancient animals.
