J.A. Bayona is helming (A Monster Calls, The Impossible) the highly anticipated project with a script from original Jurassic World scribes, Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly.

I wasn't aware this guy did movies where he isn't the founder of a robotics supercompany that then turns on his own robotic creation. Surrogates, I, Robot, Big Hero 6. All pretty much the exact same role.

Slightly off topic: did he and Qwen share any scenes in Spider-man 3, like at all?




Wasn't his only purpose to be like "oh, btw, Sandman killed Uncle Ben because Joker killed Batman's parents and we need to let this movie begin."

@DannRamm113 - 2:58 to 3:00, and that's about it I think.

He gives me vibes of being the new John Hammond type of character that Richard Attenborough played, just at first glance, of course.

I'm really not excited for this. JW was one of those movies that while watching it's kind of fun, but when you think about it just gets so much worse. But the director's supposed to be good, so it could be an alright movie.
