Looks good to me, I am always ready for more dino action.

Caught this trailer yesterday and am looking forward to it. Will be seeing it in the theater.

Looks like a remake of The Lost World movie. Or just a different sort of adaption of The Lost World novel.

Well, watching the trailer it seems they are going to Isla Sorna (the island from the 2nd and 3rd original movies), and are trying to get DNA from 3 different dinos for some kind of revolutionary medical breakthrough. They are putting a team together. Got a butch woman (is that Scarlett Johansen?), a nerdy scientist, a shady black market smuggler, etc etc.
Small team inserts on dino island, chaos ensues. I'm guessing everything goes well at first, but then something weird happens, somebody betrays them or has ulterior motives, and it all goes from 'let's get these samples' to 'holy crap let's not die.'It's a 'been there/done that' plot, but it does look kinda good.
I just hope it isn't too wokey.

I'd like to see an adaptation of Crichton's Airframe, but that might seem too much like an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

The Michael Crichton book Prey would make a damn good movie if done right.

That's a solid distillation of how every one of them goes, and yes, it's Scarlett Johansson.
