Welcome To Jurassic World's Viral Site: 8 Plot Clues We've Learned

If you stumbled across MasraniGlobal.com by accident, you’d be forgiven for assuming it’s just another boring corporate site for a multinational tech company and that’s the whole point.

Delve a little deeper past its marketing speak and dull business attire and you’ll realise MasraniGlobal.com is actually a viral marketing website for ‘Jurassic World’, the fourth film in the ‘Jurassic Park’ franchise which is coming to cinemas in 2015.

Along with a load of new images to support the film, the site has given us a bunch of new clues about the film’s plot too. Here’s what we’ve learned.

The first ‘Jurassic World’ trailer is coming soon

A countdown on the US version of the site (we were unable to replicate it in the UK) reveals that the first teaser trailer is coming on Thursday, 27 November. We can’t blooming wait.

Irrfan Khan is Simon Masrani

The ‘Life of Pi’ star will play the head of Masrani Global, the multinational firm which runs ‘Jurassic World’. He helped his father’s company acquire John Hammond’s InGen in 1998 and began work on building ‘Jurassic World’ in 2002.

Jurassic World will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2015

The site reveals that the construction of Jurassic World (“The World’s Greatest Theme Park”) was completed in 2005 at a cost of $1.2bn in building materials alone, and it attracted 98,120 visitors in its first month of operation.

The park is expecting its 10 millionth visitor in 2015… could this play a part of the film’s plot?

The company wants more from Jurassic World

Despite the park being a huge success, there are clues on the site that indicate that the board is dissatisfied with results.

"You can’t expect the world’s greatest theme park to merely rely on the same attractions. We need to be proactive, thinking of bigger and better things." explains Masrani’s COO.

"Isla Nublar only peaks in attendance during the American holiday season. Why? Proximity. The world has seen what we have to offer, but they aren’t in awe as they once used to be. We need to change that. We have a chance to over the upcoming few years."

Something big is brewing at Jurassic World

Simon Masrani hints that genetics will be used to create something new for the ailing resort.

"What does 2015 hold? We have a world-class genetics and research and development team who have some ideas that will take genetics to the next level. Using InGen technology, combined with Masrani innovation, the world is ours to make and enjoy."

On another page he adds, “I can’t say too much but one idea has been brewing for a number of years now and recently it’s become a reality. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait for that one.”

This reinforces what director Colin Trevorrow revealed earlier this year, that a corporate mandate has lead to new breeds of dinosaurs being created as attractions. “They want something bigger, louder, with more teeth,” he told Slash Film.

Wooly mammoths could be coming in the future

A snippet of news on the site suggests a new facility in Siberia is searching for wooly mammoth remains “to add to InGen’s ever growing genomic library.”

Could we see the hairy elephant-like creatures in future ‘Jurassic World’ films? Here’s hoping!

Dr Wu is back

Although none of the original film’s key castmembers are appearing in ‘Jurassic World’, one minor character will return. BD Wong is back as Dr. Wu, one of the Jurassic Park scientists who helped John Hammond bring dinosaurs back from extinction.

The viral site reveals that Wu escaped the disaster that struck the original park back in 1994. He helped InGen clean up of the site and uncover why the dinosaurs were able to breed. Wu is now a “valued member” of the company after he helped Simon Masrani get Jurassic World off the ground.

It’s like ‘Jurassic Park III’ never happened

The new Jurassic World timeline presented by the viral site follows the events of the first two films very closely. The first park closed in 1994 (the year ‘Jurassic Park’ was released), InGen was acquired by Masrani in 1998 (a year after the events of ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park’), then construction began on Jurassic World in 2002.

Assuming the movie timeline reflects the real passage of time, the events of ‘Jurassic Park III’, which saw Alan Grant rescued from “Site B” on Isla Sorna by US Marines, took place in 2001 after Masrani had taken over the company and its sites.

Surely this discovery of Site B would have affected the plans for Jurassic World? There’s no mention of it on the Masrani site at all. In fact, the closest we get to a reference to the critically-maligned ‘JPIII’ is an image of a Spinosaurus skeleton.

'Jurassic World' is coming to cinemas on 12 June, 2015.
