Jurassic World 2 director J.A. Bayona has reaffirmed his vision for the upcoming sequel to Jurassic World in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of his latest film, A Monster Calls.
Bayona admitted that he is attempting to introduce more animatronics into the sequel, stating:
“Obviously you don’t have real dinosaurs — sometimes you have people playing dinosaurs — but we love animatronics and we’re trying to do as much with them as possible. It’s complicated because the audience now is so used to seeing CGI that they’re sometimes reluctant toward animatronics. But at the same time, I think animatronics bring soul and reality to it. We’re trying to find the balance between animatronics and CGI in order to cheat the audience so they don’t know what they’re seeing.”
