But we bet he's gonna have more than a little trouble with a genetically-modified dinosaur that's "bigger than the T-Rex"
Wow factor? More like scary-as-s*** factor! Never mess with things you don't understand, scientists!
Looks like we didn't have to wait long for the official 'Jurassic World' trailer after all! Universal Pictures have debuted the trailer two days earlier than was announced in the 20-second teaser released on 23 November.
Picking up 22 years after the events of 'Jurassic Park', Isla Nublar is now a fully-fledged dinosaur theme park known as 'Jurassic World' where visitors from all over the world flock to to feast their eyes on dinosaur-themed attractions
Twenty-two years after the events of 1993's Steven-Spielberg-helmed 'Jurassic Park', Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. This new park is owned by the Masrani Corporation. Owen (Chris Pratt), a member of Jurassic World's on-site staff, conducts behavioral research on the Velociraptors, but things go awry when the research team accidentally unleashes a genetically-modified hybrid dinosaur into the park.

Fans of the original movies will be sure to catch some throwback references, like these iconic gates approaching the dinosaur theme park...
The infamous Jurassic Park Main Gates, with its flaming torches and immense wooden doors, first appeared in the first 'Jurassic Park' movie, where tour vehicles would enter through to get into the park's compound
The Main Gates make a return in 'Jurassic World' with different wording atop the gates and features a roadline across water.
...and the Gyrosphere sequence with dinosaurs frolicking in an open space, which kinda reminds us of the dinosaur chase scene from one of the original films
Visitors to Jurassic World are shown to be exploring the theme park in safari jeeps and the ultra-cool Gyrospheres as a variety of dinosaurs roam free in a safari-like compound within the park.
The scequence above bears a slight resemblance to that one scene in 'Jurassic Park' where Dr. Alan Grant and his kids were running away from escaped Velociraptors, don't you think?
But wait, the park is just a mask for the research facility housed within the park's compound. In true Hollywood fashion, scientists never seem to know when to stop so you know bad stuff is about to go down whenever they say "genetically modified" anything
Maybe that's why the always-cheery Chris Pratt a.k.a. Star Lord looks so serious all the time.
But with a gigantic and definitely dangerous dinosaur hybrid on the loose, we can't exactly blame him for that. Also, the "riding with my raptor bros" scene is AWESOME.
No full view of the dinosaur hybrid just yet, but glimpses of the terrifying creature (anybody seen its genetically engineered spine?!) already had us looking like this:
'Jurassic World' officially opens it door on 11 June 2015 in Malaysian cinemas. Check out the viral website for a virtual tour of the dinosaur theme park.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow, 'Jurassic World' stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Judy Greer, and a lot of possibly-CGI dinosaurs.
