Next "Jurassic" Installment Gets R-Rated Trailer - Inside the Magic

Despite featuring humans getting eaten alive by dinosaurs, the Jurassic Park films have a mostly universal appeal. But many fans would like to see the series get an R-rated makeover, whether in the form of a sequel, prequel, or reboot based more closely on Michael Crichton’s two novels, “Jurassic Park” (1990) and “The Lost World” (1995).

Unlike the films, the two Jurassic Park novels are incredibly violent and seldom leave anything to the imagination (which is in no way a criticism). An R-rated Jurassic Park installment would do well to take a page out of Crichton’s bestsellers, and with the likes of the once-seemingly untouchable Harry Potter now getting a reboot, never say never.

The odds are that the continuity of the six films will continue. However, Universal Pictures is yet to even allude to a brand-new movie, despite Jurassic World Dominion (2022) taking a hefty bite out of the box office last year by grossing over $1 billion worldwide.

As for an R-rated venture, Dominion director Colin Trevorrow discussed the possibility of such a project while promoting the sixth entry in the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World film series last year. We’ll just have to wait and see whether or not the studio decides to take this direction.

But when it comes to Jurassic entries of a more terrifying nature, fans needn’t go hungry.

The Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise is hardly short on video games, even if it seems obsessed with park management simulation games (the Jurassic World Evolution titles being the latest in a long line).

But it begs the question of whether fans will finally get the survival horror game they’ve been craving. Thankfully, Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection (2023), due for release later this year, will at least offer a break from the norm.

A fan-made game is also currently being developed by creator Krenautican, which is based on the original 1993 film by Steven Spielberg. Unfortunately, though, Universal Pictures recently prohibited using the Jurassic Park IP in the game, meaning the title will be rebranded before release (we’re still very excited).

Now, fans hoping for an R-rated Jurassic installment finally have their wish. Though not a film or even a Jurassic Park/Jurassic World installment, an upcoming dinosaur-themed game titled Deathground (TBA) promises to be the R-rated “Jurassic” entry fans have been waiting for.

Deathground recently unveiled its official trailer, which definitely doesn’t have those charming and romantic Steven Spielberg vibes. And we love it.

We think you’ll agree that the game looks like a survival horror experience of prehistoric proportions. Who needs to watch lawyers getting plucked from toilet seats by t-rexes when you have Deathground?

Deathground was crowd-funded via Kickstarter. The official website describes the game as “a solo and co-op survival horror game that throws players into a desperate battle for survival against deadly AI dinosaurs.” It will be released on Steam.
