Colossal Labs Advances Dino De-Extinction Research Following Dire Wolf Revival
Jurassic World Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards, is the seventh installment in the Jurassic franchise, set in 2025 where dinosaurs have become commonplace but still central to a high-stakes mission involving a drug to fight heart disease using dinosaur DNA. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, and involves a unit sent to an island to extract DNA from the largest dinosaurs, encountering dangerous mutant creatures along the way. Despite the film's $180 million budget and hopes to start a new trilogy, opening weekend projections are modest compared to previous Jurassic World films, with expected earnings between $100 million and $125 million over a five-day Fourth of July weekend. Edwards recently visited Colossal Biosciences, a biotech firm that has resurrected dire wolves, where he learned that real dinosaur DNA cannot be retrieved from amber, debunking the franchise's fictional premise, but that dinosaur equivalents might be engineered within the next century using advanced genetic tools. The filmmakers and Colossal Labs emphasize the ethical questions of de-extinction, echoing the original Jurassic Park's caution about scientific hubris. Critics have offered mixed reviews, but some see Rebirth as an improvement over past entries, blending thrilling action with philosophical undertones about science and conservation.
