In an interview with Collider, director Colin Trevorrow revealed that the franchise is going back to its roots for the upcoming Jurassic World 3, in once again using animatronic puppetry to create their dinosaurs.
“[Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director] J.A. Bayona really, he found the value in creating really photo-real, just beautiful lighting references that could be articulated just slightly.
The original Jurassic Park trilogy managed to add weight and menace to its dinosaur creations by using actual animatronic machines instead of relying completely on CGI.
By the time the Jurassic World reboot came along, CGI had advanced so much that it did most of the heavy lifting when it came to bringing the prehistoric behemoths to life.
