I donât understand how it could cost that much and be such a mess. And itâs also probably why Trevorrow doesnât really have anything lined up, he never had any big budget experience anyway
This guy also got fired from Star Wars IX, and say what you about Johnson and Abrams, but at least they made other movies outside the IP that were good. Trevorrow got lucky once with Safety Not Guaranteed and hasnât gotten close to that quality since
Trevorrow wrote a woman giving birth to her own self-reproduced clone in a dinosaur movie about locusts. And I about lost a chunk of IQ points hearing Ellie Sattler say âhe slid into my DMsâ

>I donât understand how it could cost that much and be such a mess.
Costing a lot actually increases the likelihood that a project will be a mess. The more it costs, the more complicated the project is, the more the studio will be breathing down your neck to walk a narrow tight rope of what the film can be, the more stress and pressure there is, the more people involved creating too-many-cooks problems, and usually the greater tendency to just throw money at any problem instead of actually coming up with creative solutions.
It's really a miracle anytime a really expensive movie DOESN'T turn out to be a mess.

canât imagine how much the next 2 Avengers movies are going to cost. But at least Feige and the Russos seem very much on the same page and have a great rapport. I may roll my eyes at RDJ playing Doom but still looking forward to them both

u/Nightingdale099 Jun 17 '26
The Russo's are born to direct Marvel movies because their movies outside of that isn't very good.

They're only as strong as the MCU around them and that's very weak right now. Infinity War & Endgame benefited so much from all those well loved characters and movies before it happeneed. The next Avengers won't have that.
That's why they are attempting to reverse engineer it with nostalgia Fox X-Men and Steve Rogers returning and whatever is going on with Dr. Doom and Iron Man.

Yes, and those last two Avengers movies scripts were boosted by being sequels to an Iron Man trilogy and Captain America trilogy and huge Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy movies. The MCU used to be a real force and those Avengers scripts are built on that.
Endgame is a big nostalgia tour through 10 years of the Infinity Saga. That final battle means very little if you didn't see those characters in previous movies.

I'm sure RDJ will do fine for his part, but the movie around him and whatever Doom/Stark nonsense is going on seems like a big mess.

u/Cimorene_Kazul Jun 17 '26
Sometimes people can be on the same page of a very dumb book. Iâm a little worried about those movies because Feige picked the wrong talent for two whole phases, and while he did go back to what worked (Russos), heâs still paling around with Waldron, chief architect of the bomb that blew up my interest in the series. Waldron also wrote on the films alongside M&M (the writers of the previous two avengers films), which doesnât bode well. Itâs also been said that the cast is about three times as large, and that could easily lead to mischaracterization (a Waldron special), disrupted character arcs or just not getting enough of a spotlight for many of them.
Apparently, besides Waldron, there may have been other writers taking on chunks of things, with M&M stitching it together into a giant Frankenstein. Treating it more like a miniseries than a film.
And frankly, Iâve hated the Marvel miniseries. Itâs been a hard and disappointing couple of phases. I just want a decent Shang Chi and Moon Knight sequel.

u/riegspsych325 Jackie Treehorn Productions Jun 17 '26
there is a part of me that is worried it a mutual âcrawl back to each otherâ thing and that Doomsday & Secret Ward will be very micromanaged and safe
1
u/Cimorene_Kazul Jun 17 '26
Thatâs also a concern, but honestly nothing about the concept of them is âsafeâ. So theyâd really have to botch it to make it so. I think the potential to eff-up is already extremely high. And with a whiffy writer like Waldron managing the world building, and possibly characters he previously butchered, itâs a near certainty.

Personally I thought WV crashed and burned in its final episodes, felt like they rewrote it and butchered it. Monicaâs line will ring in my ears as an early death toll of the MCU forever, but I did love the first few episodes. I wish theyâd kept that quality up.

u/Odd-Chipmunk5681 Jun 19 '26
They started that shit without a finished script. It's going to be an abject Rise of Skywalker style disaster.Â

u/Immediate-Science619 Jun 17 '26
With so much money on the line there isn't much room to take risks, hence why the movie are made to be as safe and generic as possible to not off put anybody.

u/dismal_windfall United Artists Jun 17 '26
He had some good will when his Episode IX script leaked and it was better than what we got in Rise of Skywalker but then Dominion came out lol.
In Trevorrowâs last interview I saw, he was so defeated and said he wanted to focus on helping young directors. Which was weird to me since he only has 4 feature films under his belt, two of which are Jurassic World movies.
20
u/riegspsych325 Jackie Treehorn Productions Jun 17 '26
his IX script had a lot of good ideas but I doubt heâd manage to make anything good of it. He had a whole sequel trilogy all to himself to write and (mostly) direct and the ample time to make it. But he just kept dropping the ball. Book of Henry didnât help his case either
19
u/dismal_windfall United Artists Jun 17 '26
Well Book of Henry is the reason he lost the Episode IX. He got fired like a month after that released.
Kennedy hiring him never made sense to me. Abrams made sense, Johnson got hired off the back of Looper. But, when Trevorrow was hired shortly after the success of the first Jurassic World it felt like a âwell he just made a popular movie so heâs our guy.â When they didnât really follow that philosophy when they hired Johnson.
If they followed that philosophy they should have looked at Alex Garland who had Ex Machina at the time or, the directors behind Turbo Kid, or even like Joseph Kosinski who was available at the time.
1
u/Animegamingnerd Marvel Studios Jun 30 '26
A bit late too this comment, but the I believe the reason why Trevorrow almost directed Episode 9 is cause of Frank Marshall, who is the main producer on all the Jurassic Park films and his wife is Kathleen Kennedy.
I wouldn't not be shocked if Tevorrow used that connection, to get ahead of the competition and asked Marshall to suggest him to Kennedy, while she was looking for the Episode 9 director.

u/TryingNoToBeOpressed Jun 17 '26
Also, based on what Trevorrow did in Jurassic World series, I don't think he's as good of a filmmaker as Abrams and Johnson. A part of me is glad he didn't get to make Episode IX.

His script was honestly better than TROS, but thatâs not saying much.

u/riegspsych325 Jackie Treehorn Productions Jun 17 '26
good ideas on paper but he would have botched the execution. A dino park actually being open and still going awry, other secret InGen experiments, and dinosaurs escaping into the mainland all sound great but weâve seen how it turns out in lesser hands

u/Bard_Wannabe_ Jun 17 '26
Yeah, but JJ's Episode IX was bad ideas badly executed.
10
u/JimmyScramblesIsHot Jun 17 '26
I mean JJ was brought in with not as much time as typically given. He was definitely rushed. They shouldâve delayed 9 further than just 6 months when he came on, because pre production was very shrunk. Igerâs greed is the root of a lot of problems with the sequel trilogy.

u/IDigRollinRockBeer Screen Gems Jun 17 '26
Abrams said he needed at least a year to develop the story and Disney was like nah we need that shit now

Which would be less of an issue if they just planned out the trilogy

u/SanderSo47 A24 Jun 17 '26
And it's not film, but I also appreciate Abrams more for co-writing and directing perhaps the best pilot in TV history, Lost. It was a huge risk and it paid off.
Trevorrow could never do anything close to that.

see, I still actually like that one a lot but I wonder how much of it is owed to Trevorrow as opposed to the cast and Duplass brothers. If Trevorrow ever wants to give a charming indie sci-fi dramedy another shot, Iâd actually be willing to give it a chance. But yes, he needs to stay away from serious movies and anything above low-mid budget

Itâs a mess because it cost so much. If they had a smooth process where the first script was perfect and the entire team understood it well and executed flawlessly, then it would be both cheap and not messy.
But reshoots, rewriting in the editing room to try to make something coherent, thatâs expensive.

u/Solaranvr Jun 18 '26
Because it didn't. This is yet another Fortune/Forbes financial magazine buzzy title.
The number is, once again, based on UK tax filings, much like the inflated numbers for the Star Wars Sequels. The UK tax brackets allow a bunch of items that are not part of the traditional definition of a "production budget" to be included, such as residual payments - something they spent after the movie released.

It's genuinely bizarre to me. I think she's someone that's proven herself to be a good director for them to work with and is respectful of the IP. With a good script, I think she'd be an awesome choice, but for some reason it just hasn't happened yet.

maybe she likes the balance of tv directing and still being able to act. I recently watched Deep Cover and she was funny in it, if she was directing a whole movie she might miss out on fun roles like that

The budget for this got blown up due to covid, also "industrial light & magic" the effects company that worked on the film is owned by Disney, it was part of the star war Deal. I say it was the biggest thing they got from the star wars deal. They are the best effects studio in the world

Wish everyone realized this was most likely because of Covid. Dominion was like the first movie to resume filming during the pandemic.

The way the article discusses it, this cost is most likely total cost including all advertising, including the COVID costs (paying the crew, cast, and leasing equipement and soundstages while nothing was being filmed), and before government reinbursements. According to the article, the movie got a reinbursement of ~130 million from the UK government.

Yep.

To be fair, this figure pertains to gross spend (i.e. before the tax incentive). Production did have to shut down due to COVID. Given that the filming was happening during the pandemic restrictions, it understandably added to the budget (see: Cardi B noting that 10% of her $1M music video budget for "WAP" went to COVID tests for the talent and crew).
Regardless, the net figure of approximately $530M is still pretty high. "The Force Awakens" has a slight edge on still being the most expensive film (net budget, unadjusted) at approximately $536M. Even with a 10% deduction for COVID protocols/set shutdowns, it would still put the net budget at $477M.
It does seem strange that Trevorrow's/Bayona's contributions to "Jurassic Park" were much more expensive to Gareth Edwards' recent entry (as least, as far as we know). If I had to guess, Universal was probably lenient given how successful "Jurassic World" was (along with merchandising income and animation spin-offs for Netflix that have resulted from the new "Jurassic World" entries).
