Pterodactyl nest
No scenes with the main actors of Jurassic World Dominion were shot in New York. However, the city appears in the first few minutes of the film, to illustrate the fact that dinosaurs are now everywhere! Including at the top of the One Trade Center, where pterodactyls have set up their cozy nest.
Production of Jurassic World Dominion, the third installment of the Jurassic World trilogy, begins in February 2020. Once again, the director of the first episode, Colin Trevorrow, directs various aerial shots including those of Manhattan, where the story will never return. Impressive, these shots confirm the visual ambition of a blockbuster whose plot is no longer located on the Hawaiian archipelago, like most of the previous installments. A way for the director to break with tradition to orchestrate the expected conclusion of the saga but also perhaps to consider the future.
For the first time, it is not the star paleontologist Jack Horner that the team has consulted but a newcomer, namely Steve Brusatte. American by birth, working for the University of Edinburgh, this specialist in dinosaurs, author of several books, has advised the team as he explained in 2021 to the daily Ouest France: “My role is to answer the many questions of the director and his team. That said, I have no influence on the scenario or on the choice of creatures. It is important to know that there is a certain amount of speculation in the work of the designers because some of the dinosaurs presented are known only by a few bones. In any case, for the first time in the saga, there will be carnivorous dinosaurs with feathers. I’m not the one making the request. The director told me about it during our first meeting and I am happy about it. This should help the general public make the connection between dinosaurs and birds.“
Jurassic World Dominion is the third film in the Jurassic Park saga with music by Michael Giacchino, after Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
One World Trade Center
Main building of the new World Trade Center, this imposing skyscraper was built following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Launched shortly after the destruction of the Twin Towers, the construction of the One Trade Center, also nicknamed Freedom Tower, began on April 27, 2006 and was completed on May 10, 2013. The tallest structure in New York, this building culminates at 546, 2 meters, arrow included. It has 94 floors and 5 basements. More than just a building, the One Trade Center symbolizes the resilience of an entire people. It is also the tallest building in all of the United States. Like the Twin Towers before it, the tower has become a real movie star.
