This week Spotlight takes a glimpse at the new Jurassic Park franchise instalment, which started 32 years ago ... at a research facility, setting off a frightening new dinosaur age. We also look at glamour and speed on display at the F1: The Movie premiere and the tour schedule of adorable small blue humanoids.
Jurassic World: Rebirth — directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) and starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali — goes back to where it all began: a research facility. The mission is to secure genetic material from dinosaurs to provide life-saving benefits to mankind. The film is hailed by critics as an updated version of the original and features a subtle homage to Steven Spielberg. On at cinemas, 3D, D-Box and 4DX.
Diarise the following attractions for your calendar:
- Blue humanoid creatures best known as the Smurfs are all over town as part of the build-up for the film’s release on July 11.
