Jurassic World Dominion's dangling of Jurassic Park's original cast is the latest and clearest piece of condescending nostalgia from AAA franchises. Here's justbrizigs on this phase of reboot culture:
should have been an obvious warning sign to me, but there was something particularly cynical about the scene between Dern and Neill in thetrailer. The two veteran actors muscling through “we’re getting the band back together” hack job dialogue; Neill presumably offered such an impressive mound of Benjamins that he was lured away from the peaceful pig farm he tends in his native New Zealand.
So I was somewhat dismayed, though not necessarily surprised, at a handful of online reactions to this trailer. The sentiments amounted to, “Yeah, I know what they’re doing. I know that I’m a sucker. So what? Why not embrace it?” This is the new mindset du jour, one which ensures the continued success of the soft reboot. Moviegoers know that they’re being emotionally jerked around, hip to the tricks of the floundering industry, and they don’t care.
“Let people enjoy things,” you might be muttering to yourself as you peruse my little screed, while audiences become less curious and the industry follows suit. “Why bother putting money behind something new when something old has proven to make more?” I’m sure there are those reading this article thinking that the industry shouldn’t bother, that they’re happy to devour the slop so long as it tastes good and makes them feel even better.
