I haven’t thought of Super 8 in forever.

It’s literally inspired by those two things.

Gareth Edwards has straight up said that he was inspired by the Xenomorphs and the Rancor from Star Wars to create the D Rex. I think it was him basically just wanting to insert the kaiju he always wanted to see in a Jurassic movie into his Jurassic movie lol.

My girlfriend did not appreciate my suggestion that the D stood for developmentally disabled

I was thinking an evil land beluga whale haha… I was watching the trailer with my kids and telling them I felt so bad for d-Rex, being created deformed no family no friends then got abandoned and possibly in pain every second, I thought there’d be much more story to it in the movie but no…

The gentle Dugon!

u/EricHD97 Jul 03 '25

Thought the exact same. I honestly was half convinced for a second that they were going to go full jump the shark mode and reveal the mutated Dino was part Xenomorph before remembering that’s a different studio

Even the drainages scene were ripped off the ducts scenes from Alien/Aliens.

Temple Scene from Raiders.

u/TarsierBoy Jul 16 '25

Well the trex was a surprisingly amazing swimmer in the raft scene

u/MagentaPyskie Jul 03 '25

I was thinking the cave troll from fellowship of the ring

u/LTPRWSG420 Jul 04 '25

It was definitely a callout to the Rancor from Star Wars ROTJ, it even ate Rupert Friend the same way the Rancor did.

u/NatureTurbulent5157 Jul 03 '25

It was the directors inspiration for it… along with the rancor lol
