Trevorrow writes and directs, and his blockbuster work keeps a screenwriter's interest in premise. Jurassic World restarted a dormant series by making its subject the audience's own appetite: a park that must engineer a bigger attraction because visitors have stopped being impressed by dinosaurs. He returned to write and direct Jurassic World Dominion and co-wrote Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
His debut was a low budget comedy built on a single strange classified advertisement, made with a small cast and a great deal of improvisation. That grounding shows in how he writes two handed scenes, and in his preference for characters who talk their way through a situation before anything explodes.
Recurring subjects: escalation driven by commerce, adults who behave less sensibly than the children around them, and the consequences of treating a living thing as a product. His set pieces favour daylight and open space rather than the original series' preference for enclosure and night.
His revival became one of the highest grossing films of its year and turned a lapsed property into an ongoing series, a template studios have followed repeatedly since. The self aware premise, in which a franchise comments on its own need to escalate, has been widely borrowed by other legacy sequels.
For viewers who want large scale spectacle with a clean premise behind it. Suited to anyone revisiting the dinosaur series, and to those curious about how a director moves from a small independent film to an enormous one.
