Universal Preempts Its Own Premiere, Releases “Jurassic World” Trailer Early Alex Gerage, November 25, 2014 The park is open—early! In a curious move, Universal Pictures has officially released the first full trailer for next summer’s Jurassic World two days before it’s heavily-promoted premiere during NFL football on Thanksgiving evening. Hit the jump to watch the trailer for yourself, and see why making a new dinosaur is probably not a good idea.
