About JURASSIC WORLD
The story of Steven Spielberg’s original, Jurassic Park, comes full circle as the park that was only a promise comes to life. Welcome to Jurassic World, a fully operational luxury resort where tens of thousands of guests explore the wonder and brilliance of Earth’s most magnificent living prehistoric marvels and interact up close with them every day.
Overseeing every corner of Jurassic World is Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard, The Help), who finds herself unexpectedly saddled with the arrival of her nephews. With no time for the distraction of two visiting kids, Claire loads them with passes and sends them off to explore the park. The park’s miraculous animals are created by geneticist Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong, Jurassic Park). While the commercial prosperity of the park demands new innovations ever year to keep guests returning, Dr. Wu is pushed beyond the bounds of ethical science, manipulating genetics to engineer a genetically modified dinosaur – the massive and mysterious Indominus rex – that has never walked the Earth before, and whose abilities remain undiscovered. To help assess the creature and the security of its containment, Claire visits Owen (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy) an ex-military expert in animal behavior.
When the Indominus rex escapes and disappears within the depths of the jungle, every creature in Jurassic World, both dinosaur and human, is threatened, including Claire’s nephews. Now, Owen and Claire join the hunt for the boys as order inside the park turns to mayhem and guests turn into prey. Dinosaurs escape into the open, the skies and the water to engage in an all-out war for survival, and no corner within the world’s greatest theme park is safe anymore.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) and executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Thomas Tull (Godzilla), JURASSIC WORLD premieres for the first time on Singaporean television on HBO (StarHub TV Ch 601) this Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Wednesday, July 6 at 9pm. Exclusively on the same day at 11pm, viewers can choose to watch JURASSIC WORLD in Bahasa Melayu, featuring the voices of Hisyam Hamid and other Malaysian celebrities, only on HBO On Demand (StarHub TV Ch 602 / StarHub Go).
