Jurrassic World New Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See
6. Two Precocious Kids
The peril of Jurassic World up until this point has mainly involved rich people worrying about their business and a load of faceless park-goers and employees getting torn to pieces. You need to humanise that threat a little, and in the case of Jurassic World they're going back to the well. Just like Jurassic Park, there's a couple of kids that have somehow become separated from their parents and thus are even more susceptible to being attacked by dinosaurs for some reason. This is why you never leave children unattended. They could be kidnapped! Or, worse, be trampled to death by a heard of Stegosaurus. Those kids are Zach (the older one, played by Nick Robinson, who is actually 20) and Gray (Insidious and Iron Man 3's Ty Simpkins, the younger one), and they look like they're gonna be a big part of Jurassic World they're present for one of those water-based dino displays, and Grady's protecting them in a later encounter with the I-Rex.
