8 Reasons You Should Be Concerned About Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Colin Trevorrow seems like a nice-enough guy and he did a solid-enough job directing the first Jurassic World. Having said that, Trevorrow has remained incredibly involved in the production of this second film and that's not exactly a good thing.

When it was announced that J.A. Bayona was coming onboard to direct Fallen Kingdom, there was reason to be excited. Bayona is a visionary horror director with several great films under his belt, including The Orphanage and A Monster Calls. But it's getting a bit hard to tell who is really the driving creative force behind Fallen Kingdom.

Trevorrow is who is giving the vast majority of interviews and is also the one who has already been announced as the director of the next sequel. Trevorrow has spoken at length about how he loved being an on-set writer for the film, actively rewriting his script based on the needs of the day.

And while there's nothing inherently wrong with that, the timetable of it all is cause for concern. Trevorrow gushed all over how great his little indie film, Book of Henry, was, only for pretty much everyone else to absolutely hate it. Henry didn't hit theaters until last summer, so most of Trevorrow's writing for Fallen Kingdom would have taken place before he knew just how bad Book of Henry was.

Which is to say, Trevorrow was not in the most sound of mindsets at this time and who knows what he put into this thing, thinking it was equally great.
