With the new Jurassic World bringing in nearly $100 million in just one day, it's no surprise to find it dominating Facebook status' and Twitter feeds across the board. What few going into the new film are aware of though, is that it is based a true story. Director Colin Trevorrow says they avoided mention of the real world events as the team felt it would detract from the excitement and fun the movie otherwise brings.
Trevorrow detailed the events exclusively to BS News, pointing out that many of the concepts behind Jurassic World were based on the wild bird escape at the World Bird Sanctuary in St Louis in 2012. Over 70 wild, vicious birds escaped their cages and massed on the crowds enjoying their captivity. Alfred Hitchcock himself could not have predicted the carnage a group of angry Egyptian Vultures could bring to the Martin family. 11 year old James was particularly traumatized as one of the vultures took his ice cream cone. James and the Martin family have consumed poultry as their sole source of meat since the incident took place.
According to Trevorrow, the Mosasaur (pictured above) was based on a chicken hawk that swooped down and ruffled a young girl's hair as her family made their escape from the sanctuary. In another scene, without giving too much away, Chris Pratt is seen charming and commanding Velociraptors. The director informed us there have been many instances throughout history of attractive Americans making dinosaurs do their bidding.
