For many, myself included, Jurassic World is one of the most anticipated films of the year, if not THE most anticipated film of the year. For months, fans have attempted to learn more about the Colin Trevorrow-directed film, but outside of cryptic set photos and casting news, Universal has done an excellent job keeping things under wraps. However, despite their efforts, rumors about a genetically engineered hybrid dinosaur began to circulate sometime during production and it wasn't long before Trevorrow had to come out and confirm the rumors. This led to speculation about what the man-made monster would be named, with one of the most popular names being the Diabolus Rex, a rumor which wasn't put to bed until recently when a report revealed that the genetically engineered dinosaur had received a name change and would now be called the Indominus Rex. Well, it looks like that last report was on the money as the Jurassic World website has finally confirmed the untamable creature's name.

Check out the name reveal below, along with a detailed description of the presumed big bad and a fierce teaser image:  



Name Meaning: Fierce or Untamable King
Habitat: Jurassic World
Length: Currently 40 ft
Weight: TBD
Origin: Hammond Creation Lab
Agression Index: Very High
Diet: Carnivore

We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosuar ever to be displayed at Jurassic world. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered.

At first glance, Indominus most closely resembles a T-Rex, but its distinctive head ornamentation and ultra-tough bony osteoderms can be traced from Theropods known as Abeliosaurs. Indominus' horns have been placed above the eye orbit through genetic material hybridized from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, and Giganotosaurus. Fearsome indeed.

Indominus' roar is estimated to reach 140-160db - the same as a 747 taking off and landing. And it can reach speeds of 30 mph... while confined to its enclosure. Come experience Indominus Rex for yourself beginning this summer. If you dare.

Ok, but still prefered Veloci Rex.

You see the issue with this is that its creating a villain for a movie that does not need a villain.

The only purpose a villain such as this Dinosaur has is likely
- Causing the mayhem at the start of the film
- Being a main event in the movie for an important scene
- Being something that will chase the main cast often
- Being a villain for them to defeat/kill at the end

None of which are really aspects that i enjoy in Jurassic Park films.

@LehnsienZad
"i KNOW the dinos will look shittier than those featured in the original, I KNOW THIS"

Yes, yes they will.

dumb scientist no.1:
"hey i got an idea! you know dinosaurs? the most dangerous living predators ever?? yeah. lets Make our Own hybrid, that is alllll the most dangerous parts of all dinosaurs, in One crazy fkkn dinosaur!!"
dumb scientist no.2:
"heeeyyyyy yeah! people will love that! right? because we here at JURASSIC PARK certainly have never had a problem containing the giant creatures we brought back from the dead!"


*they high five*


*everyone on earth is dead 2 years later*

"We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosuar ever to be displayed at Jurassic world. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered."

This is also the most dumbest and stupid aspect of the entire movie. If you can genetically engineer several species together (Including a Velociraptor, T-Rex and Shark) then you can do virtually anything. You could cure cancer, you could sell the beast as a weapon, you could make humans live longer.

You've literally written something into the movie that makes the point of the thing being in the movie nonsensical.

Ugh [frick] off with the complaints. They're idiotic. This is brilliant, it perfectly builds on the concepts of the original.

Humanity develops ability to bring dinosaurs back? Goes all out, builds a damn amusement park to show them off, pays for it.

THIS movie continues the concept of Humanity-not-learning-from-their-mistakes, in that they succeed eventually with park idea, so move to push their genetics & to play god even further, pay for it.

Like seriously, if you have no problem with the idea of CREATING AN AMUSEMENT PARK TO SHOW OFF DINOSAURS then you should also have no problem with the same people CREATING THEIR OWN DINOSAUR FOR THAT PARK. Both things are colossally stupid for REAL WORLD LOGIC, but for MOVIE LOGIC they're brilliant and wonderfully entertaining ideas.

Jesus, the majority of commenters on this site....

I really like the marketing for this. Really smart. Universal is putting a lot into to this and I love it.

It has the mouth of a T-Rex. I wonder if they make a genetically enhanced herbivore. ya know, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, brachiousaur mix. That would be even more badass!!

The marketing for this film could be done with absolute ease.

Now, I know this is only a movie, but if you were a scientist working for a theme park where the attractions are dinosaurs and knew that years beforehand in the early stages of the park that the dinosaurs got loose and killed a bunch of people on numerous occasions, would you think it a good idea to then genetically create a very aggressive, fast, intelligent meat eating killing machine and put it on display? Yeah, nothing can go wrong here...

Don't worry dude. If anything, I think the "old vet" T-Rex is going to have to take this thing down.

Dinosaurs!


Super excited for this movie.



Big Mamma T gonna bring the pain!

Man, I would slap the scientists that created the thing so hard they'd become animated.
I'm really looking forward to this movie though.

@ckal,

If a tiny little thing like that is going to ruin your viewing experience, then you're better off not going at all.

But it really shouldn't, because it is SO OBVIOUS that T.Rex is going to take this bad bitch out. With a name as overcompensating as "Indominus Rex" (throws up a little), and a confirmed large presence for the T.Rex by the director himself, the Rex fanboys should have nothing to worry about.

So quit your bitching.

@TheSonicScrew,

A voice of reason among the idiots. :)

Optimist18 - 1/29/2015, 9:22 PM
To all the T.Rex fanboys, just keep on showing off that annoying flaw of the human species: idolizing things.

It's been known for about two decades now that there were "bigger fish in the sea".
Optimist18
Optimist18 - 1/29/2015, 9:27 PM
@ckal,

BTW, T.Rex doesn't really care if it's the "King" or not. In real life, it would sooner eat you than bask in your admiration. It didn't have the brainpower to have that pesky little thing called an "ego". It's not going to lose sleep over its role in the Dino Kingdom. ;)

The website is absolutely brilliant! Looks like something that could actually exist. Psyched to see this!

I like that the language in the Dino's description is similar to what theme parks put out every time they build a bigger or faster roller coaster.

As an coaster fan, I'm really looking forward to a lot of references to real-life park-isms: FastPasses, turkey legs, funnel cakes, ride safety spiels, stroller fights...

Why do you keep calling them dinosaurs when they are genetically engineered, theme-park monsters.
And isnt the giganotosaurus itself bigger than the T-Rex too?
xIRONICxNAMEx
xIRONICxNAMEx - 1/30/2015, 8:24 AM
lmao @ the "Enhanced" version of some teeth. To me it looks like a Giant Raptor. (which would be terrifying).
WeAreVenom86
WeAreVenom86 - 1/30/2015, 11:06 AM
@Floke

Charcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Spinosaurus (Though paleontologists debunked the idea of it being an active land predator mainly because of it's sheer girth in the chest.), Sarchosuchus which was a massive super croc that competed with the Spinosaur....there are many. BUT...they noticed that the T-Rex tended to have a denser skeletal structure and the way the teeth are (which could crush bone with ease and not snap off like the smooth lined Giganotosaurus) designed. Meaning it could take the punishment.

WE HAVE SPOKEN!! (love paleontology)

Optimist18 - 1/30/2015, 2:08 PM
@ckal,

I'm not mad. I'm just tired of the Rex fanboys putting it on a pedestal.

I guess my point is, if you want T.Rex back on the top, this movie shouldn't disappoint.
Floke
Floke - 1/31/2015, 3:20 AM
WeAreVenom. Yeah the Spinosaurus was probably a big mean duck. ;) Those arms look huge thou so in an arm wrestling contest, T-Rex is doomed.
Many predators have more of slicing teeth for flesh, rather than thick bone crushing ones. I belive if you are to chase a huge sauropod, you go for the soft meat and not the tree trunk size bones it have. Want there alot of talk about how the T-Rex was a scavenger, eating pretty much anything, bone and all, thus giving it strong teeth that needed a huge skull and therefore small arms so it wouldnt tip forward?
