With Jurassic World: Dominion hitting digital video this week after one other massive field workplace haul for the franchise, Awfully Good Motion pictures is excavating a dinosaur film far sillier than something Colin Trevorrow might cook dinner up, with Whoopi Goldberg and her prehistoric accomplice Theodore Rex!
In 1992, recent off being the second Black girl to win an Oscar, Whoopi by some means thought agreeing to a film the place she’s a half-cyborg cop in a dystopian future teaming up with a genetically revived dinosaur who can stroll and speak amongst people to cease a billionaire’s plans for a second ice age was all on the up and up. However upon attempting to vary her thoughts, the movie’s producer slapped Whoopi with a $20 million lawsuit, and he or she as an alternative simply agreed to do the film for a $2 million enhance in pay.
Nevertheless, none of that cash could be seen by the film itself, as a result of poor check screenings satisfied New Line Cinema to dump this “one massive pile of shit” into the direct to video bathroom…and understandably so, as a result of Theodore Rex by some means has extra unanswered questions than your entire Jurassic World trilogy. Why is Whoopi carrying a Catwoman outfit to make her look much more uncomfortable than she already is? Why does her dino accomplice like to eat cookies and have psychic powers? Who satisfied Armin Mueller-Stahl and Richard Roundtree to tug their reputations by means of the mud alongside this barely practical dino puppet?
And above all else: Who thought this brain-hurting mashup of ABC’s Dinosaurs, Blade Runner and 48 HRS that’s allegedly a “household film” was ever gonna be successful? Let’s simply hope that the phrase “life finds a manner” by no means applies to a Theodore Rex 2.
