The trailer features the career-hot Chris Pratt in the leading role, a futuristic park and a genetically modified dinosaur because the regular ones were getting boring. Thankfully, the original movie's presence is undeniable in the trailer, "Billboard" notes.OK, so the plot is technically different in that the "Park" is now a "World" and things seem to be peaceful. That all changes when Bryce Dallas Howard's ("The Help" and "50/50") character reveals that scientists have been messing around with dinosaur genetics in order to create a super monster — silly scientists! Pratt is reminiscent of Sam Neill in the original, if only because of his nerdy vest and unfortunate predicament.Other similarities from the trailer include two children heading to the amusement park sans parents, the mosquito with dino DNA that started the whole franchise and the epic John Williams theme music. Head to the 1:50 mark to here the spine-tingling piano version of the theme. There is no sign of any villainous Wayne Knight character, though.
