‘Jurassic World’ Muzzled Raptor Photo Leaked?


Fair warning: This article could be considered spoiler material for Jurassic World.

Our first glimpse of the Colin Trevorrow-directed Jurassic World may have been leaked yesterday on the internet.

Fittingly, the possible glimpse of Jurassic World came in the form of the Jurassic Park franchise’s most iconic dinosaur: the velociraptor.

This is the image.

The picture of a velociraptor wearing some sort of metal muzzle was posted on Instagram and later removed, leading to the speculation that it actually is a picture of an animatronic raptor from the upcoming Jurassic World.

The picture on Instagram was accompanied by the following caption, according to JoBlo.com:

“This is an actual Velociraptor for the upcoming film Jurassic World! #jurassicworld #dinosaur #universalstudios #StevenSpielberg #Velociraptor #HYPE”

The apparent Jurassic World leak came from Valencia, California, where Legacy Effects is located. Fueling the speculation that the picture is indeed an actual Jurassic World prop, Legacy Effects is working on Jurassic World.

If the picture is real, it adds to the anticipation for Jurassic World because the film will be shot using actual animatronic dinosaurs in addition to CGI effects, something that made the first Jurassic Park film feel more authentic to viewers than its successors.

Though Jurassic World’s director, Colin Tevorrow has confirmed internet rumors about the film in the past, he’s remained silent on this one for the time being.

Trevorrow’s own Twitter feed has been abuzz with Jurassic World tidbits over the last few months:

Chris Pratt – from Parks and Recreation and the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy – is confirmed to have a role in the film along with Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help, Spiderman 3).

When it came to other significant Jurassic World spoilers that were revealed last month, Trevorrow spoke candidly about secrecy in film-making in an interview with /Film.

“When I was a kid, you got to discover everything at once, it washed over you and blew your mind. Now it only takes one person to spoil it for everyone else. I hope whoever leaked it [significant plot details] is actively trying to undermine what we’re doing. Because if they’re trying to help, they’re doing it wrong.”

Is the leaked image a picture of the velociraptor wearing a muzzle from Jurassic World? We’ll find out when Jurassic World is released next year.
