20 Recent Movies Ruined For INSANE Reasons

Blockbuster films are gigantic machines which generally take years and years to get made, but in the case of Jurassic World Rebirth, Universal had a prime July 2, 2025 release date scoped out and weren't going to miss it for any reason.

As a result, the seventh entry in the franchise underwent an expedited development process, with director Gareth Edwards having less than 18 months to prepare the film, shoot it, and get it through post-production.

Given that Edwards expected to have two-and-a-half years for such a task, he asked Universal to delay the film, but they refused.

Shooting ultimately began on June 13, 2024, just a year and four days before the film's world premiere - a mind-bogglingly small amount of time for an extremely effects-heavy and technically complex blockbuster film.

And while Edwards, a smart filmmaker and VFX artist himself, delivered a competently made end-product, Jurassic World Rebirth was also the most forgettably bland entry in the entire series - exactly the sort of flavourless cinematic gruel you get when a film has to get made within a specific timeframe in order to satisfy shareholders.

If Universal had only pushed the release date by a year, then all involved would've been able to give the sequel the added thought it so desperately needed.
