The park is open. After a long 14 years since the release of Jurassic Park 3, the Jurassic franchise burst back into life in 2025 with JURASSIC WORLD, from the mind of unknown filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, and it made a quite significant roar at the box office. To take a tour inside the park and see what works - and what doesn't - about this long-awaited fourth entry in the franchise, we’re thrilled to welcome journalist, author and editor of Empire Magazine Nick de Semlyen to the pod. We get into it all from failed scripts featuring dinos with guns and scary castles in the Swiss alps, to stories on set with Trevorrow and perhaps most importantly, the backstory of Edmond, perhaps the most important Jurassic character you never new about. So, hop on your motorbike, summon your pack of highly trained raptors and join us for the ride, won’t you?  

You can buy Nick’s books - Wild & Crazy Guys and Last Action Heroes - from any good booksellers and online retailers - and can subscribe to Empire Magazine here.
