It’s no mystery that longtime fans weren’t impressed with the last two films in the long-running Jurassic Park series.Jurassic World Dominion (2022) might have grossed $1.004 billion worldwide; however, it received mixed to negative reviews from audiences and critics for ultimately failing to deliver the setup established in its predecessor, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).Credit: Universal PicturesHow Dominion Wasted the Jurassic Series’ Best IdeaThat film unleashed dinosaurs into the North American wilderness, severing its ties with the contained island formula and promising a bold new era for the franchise moving forward.Four years of marketing also focused on the idea of dinosaurs thriving around the world, through the official website Dino Tracker, the 2019 short film Battle at Big Rock, the mobile app Jurassic World Alive, some of the Jurassic World Evolution video games, and even the animated series Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous.Unfortunately, while Dominion certainly has its strengths, it mainly focuses on a horde of prehistoric locusts that threaten the global food supply, while also restricting itself to another facility set against a jungle backdrop rather than fleshing out the mainland scenes with dinosaurs, which are few and far between.Credit: Universal PicturesRelated: ‘Jurassic Park’ Officially Hitting Reset After ‘Rebirth’ Ruins Film SeriesHow Rebirth Killed the Global Dinosaur StorylineLast year, however, Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) wiped the slate clean by undoing everything Fallen Kingdom and Dominion had set up, explaining that dinosaurs are now dying out on a global level because the “planet’s ecology” is no longer hospitable to them, which has forced the remaining ones to migrate to the equator as the climate there resembles the one in which they thrived all those millions of years ago. In other words, it’s another jungle island sequel.The film grossed $869.1 million globally but was also slapped with mostly negative reviews.Credit: Universal PicturesSo, Jurassic fans never did get the global dinosaurs premise they were promised — at least not in full, live-action form. Fortunately, tie-in content like the animated series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory leaned heavily into that concept.But whether the next film will somehow rectify the mistakes of Rebirth (although at this point it would feel a bit like ping-pong), remains to be seen. There are rumors of another film being in early development, but Universal hasn’t confirmed anything.Credit: Universal PicturesWill the Next Jurassic Film Correct Their Mistakes?Rebirth director Gareth Edwards has said that his dream Jurassic sequel would take place on the mainland, explaining to Wholetusoutmovies (via Swrve) that his favorite scene in the Jurassic franchise is the T. rex attack in San Diego in The Lost World (1997).“It’ll be the T. rex getting to San Diego,” he said. “I like it when they get to the gas station. I also like it when it [the rex] gets to the house and it drinks from the pool. I just wanted two hours of that.” He then added, “Maybe one day we’ll get two hours of that.”Credit: Universal PicturesBut obviously, both Edwards and screenwriter David Koepp squandered that opportunity and then some with the latest Jurassic. Koepp, whom many fans were excited to see return after he co-wrote the first two installments in the Jurassic series, was the man behind the decision to essentially retcon the fan-favorite premise of dinosaurs living alongside humans.In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter following the film’s release last year, he said that he “didn’t have a single idea about where to go” with the mainland-dinosaurs storyline.“Let’s make dinosaurs exotic and special so that we have to go seek them out instead of, you know, fighting with them over a cab,” he added.Credit: Universal PicturesA New “Jurassic” Film Is ComingNow, a new dinosaur movie is about to offer Jurassic fans who were disappointed with Dominion and Rebirth a huge “fix.” The catch is that it isn’t a Jurassic Park/World movie.Previously titled Flowervale Street, The End of Oak Street (2026) is an upcoming film directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) and produced by J.J. Abrams. It stars Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada) and Ewan McGregor (Doctor Sleep), whose family is transported back to the prehistoric era, along with their entire neighborhood.Warner Bros. unveiled the first official trailer for the film earlier this year. Watch it below:What Is The End of Oak Street?As you can tell from the trailer alone, The End of Oak Street deals with time travel, family drama, and dinosaurs. And most notably, dinosaurs in suburbia — something Dominion and Rebirth failed to deliver.“After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings,” the official synopsis from Warner Bros. reads.Credit: Bad Robot / Warner Bros.Now, in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, director David Robert Mitchell has doubled down on that dinosaur/suburbia aesthetic. “A few years ago, I was walking through our neighborhood in Michigan, just walking down the street, and I was passing by this garage [with a] chain link fence and garbage cans,” he told the outlet, adding, “And I was struck by the image of, like, ‘It’d be really interesting if there was a dinosaur right there.'”The article also shares an exclusive new image of the Platt family being chased down the street by a large theropod dinosaur, which looks like something right out of Jurassic World.A new trailer for the film is expected to premiere today, Monday June 1.The End of Oak Street will be released on August 14, 2026.Are you excited about The End of Oak Street?
