During a recent interview with Noticias RNC (via Scified), J.A. Bayona laid out the similarities between Jurassic World 2 and The Empire Strikes Back.
By his own estimation, Bayona feels that the upcoming sequel to Jurassic World will strike a similar tonal note as The Empire Strikes Back in the sense that it will be a far darker story, as well as one that takes the franchise in a brand new direction from what we’ve seen before.
Plenty of homage will be paid to previous films along the way, but it seems that fans really don’t know what to expect with the coming film.
