Juan Antonio Bayona’s first feature film, The Orphanage, received critical acclaim upon its release in 2007, with moviegoers quick to praise its genuine scares that were deeper and more intense than most other Hollywood efforts.
At the moment, Juan Antonio Bayona might only have two feature film directing credits to his name, but his third film A Monster Calls has already received rave reviews coming out of the Toronto Film Festival.
From the sound of things, these are traits that Bayona has been asked to explore even more with Jurassic World 2.
