Can Jurassic World Truly Start a New Franchise?

The concept of Jurassic World is a wonderful one, as we finally will be able to see what the original Jurassic Park was going to become, but naturally using the evolution of technology to its advantage to let the park evolve into something more than it was back in the day. Finally, people are able to visit the park and see all the different attractions, which have certainly evolved from simple cages were one couldn’t see their inhabitants to a variety of ways for people to actually be apart of their natural environment with the so-called gyrospheres, which have been prominently shown in the trailers. This time around we even have our first look at a aquatic prehistoric dinosaur with the Mosasaurus, which is something many people were hoping to see one day. Yet while I am dreaming of a sequel with an actual aquarium showing us the various underwater creatures from those ages, I have come to realize one thing that just maybe Jurassic World had already stopped the rebirth of an old franchise.

What do I mean by that? Well, if you take into account that most commonly the show is focusing around one incarnation of a camp, something the first and third installment gave us. In Jurassic World we now actually see the actual running park, but something the trailers seemed to already show us is that with the introduction of a new gene-spliced dinosaur the entire facility will be in danger. After such a catastrophe one could wonder where the franchise could pick up from this point on as who would truly want to return to this island after the entire destruction and mayhem. Makes you wonder if we will ever see a constructed park again after this film.

While they could always explore the theme park after its destruction trying to rescue it and rebuild, which would be an interesting concept that they tried to do with The Lost World. Is there still enough potential to truly turn Jurassic World into an entire franchise? Sadly, it seems as if this franchise might have to stick with only one new film that shows us the true dangers when the park is actually opened, but I do have questions regarding where they could go from here on out without repeating what has already been done with the franchise up to this point.

While there are many creative people in the industry, at this point without knowing exactly how the movie ends or if it even is building towards something beyond, it simply makes me wonder what they can do with the franchise. Some would point out that up until this point the franchise hasn’t been truly successful outside of the film that started it off. So the question simply remains if the franchise should grow or simply let Jurassic World work on its own as a look back at the franchise.
