MUSIC KICKS IN
Opening shot shows a dense forest. The trees sway with a natural beauty, a frog skips in the undergrowth hopping off a log onto the dense leaves gathered on the ground. It stops seemingly peering around at its surroundings. Then to its right a bush rustles, the frog seems to freeze as a baby triceratops crashes through the branches and squishes the frog right beneath its heavy foot. We follow this desperate creature as it frantically runs for its life crushing branches as it goes. Then it stops dead where the unmistakable foot and claw of a velociraptor is seen. The triceratops doubles back but is only met with another raptor. They pounce, the sounds of the creature's cries and the deadly claws of the raptors are deafening. Not wanting to see this horrific death (playing for that 12A) we turn where 'blue' stands tall observing his henchmen's work.

MUSIC SLOWS
Now we see a clearing in the forest, several trees looks broken and battered as though something has crashed through here on more than one occasion. The two henchmen raptors step into the clearing carrying the triceratops carcass between them, they lay it down in the middle and step back. Blue heads out of the tree line strides forwards, he (it was probably a she but who's to know?) raises his head and makes that familiar call. Silence. Then a distant thump is heard, building as it approaches the clearing. Notably a puddle nearby ripples with each thump (cheeky reference to help people reminisce about that other film) then out of the swaying trees the powerful T-Rex emerges. Standing tall it sniffs the air as though it is a dog, (though a dog is bound to bring in more audience, worth considering) slowly he lowers his head to the carcass and easily scoops it into his mouth. There's a pause as Blue gives the rex a knowing stare before both part their ways.

MUSIC BUILDS
Sweeping establishing shot gives us a view of the abandoned park, few unsubstantial dinosaurs are seen. Then we sweep down a pterodactyl passes us by, flying high
CUE THAT FAMOUS THEME MUSIC
A brachiosaurus reaches for a trees leaves and some gentle stegosaurus's herd together (remember to google other dinosaurs) then the music recedes down back into our conventional one layered Hans Zimmer tribute. We reach the aquarium exhibit where that fight scene happened, something stirs in the water. Surely not. The Mosasaurus's (can we get some trendier names please) head pops out of the water, then we see it's no longer attached to its body and suddenly another dinosaur emerges, it's not clear what this is. Struggling it claws out into the pools edge, quick shots don't give us an indication as to the identity of it, and then it pulls itself up. Standing tall Indigenous rex (hey Andy word's telling me this is spelt incorrectly?) gives an ear piercing roar
CUE TITLE (Jurassic World II) MUSIC IS CHIRPY TYPICAL ESTABLISHING BLOCKBUSTER FILLER
ext. suburb
It's a beautiful morning as we scope out a lovely quaint American suburb, a young girl rides a scooter up the pavement. Making her way along she spots a tree with birds who sit in a nest, the mother offering a worm to her children (genius imagery) the little girl turns up a driveway and dumps her scooter on the ground, she rushes through the front door of a house.
int. house
Inside we notice immediately it's a well-furnished family home, enough of a mess is about to make it feel like a middle/working class family. The young girl rushes to the kitchen where she grabs a glass of water downing it very quickly. Then she creeps past an open door as she passes someone's voice is heard.
"Jenny"
It's very clear it's a woman's voice, her motherliness shows in her tone. Jenny backs down the hallway head bowed and nervous. There in a small but modest study space sits CLAIRE, she's aged a little and has dyed her hair brown. On her desk sits a sleek iMac, a Samsung phone, a bottle of Evian, Maybelline lipstick and a Rolex watch. She gives Jenny a firm but loving stare, Claire is happy due to finally achieving societies, her sisters, her own dreams of becoming a mother.
CLAIRE
"How many times do I have to tell you? Take off your shoes when you come in"
Jenny's a child and has a sweet sense of abandonment that when she reaches adulthood will disappear to be replaced by acceptance. Thankfully her mother's wealth/love is enough for her now and she looks up and apologizes .
Jenny
"Sorry"
Claire smiles and stands up from her desk.
Claire
You're a daughter of a highly respected and well paid woman. People are going to expect certain behaviors from you.
jenny
I'm only 5 mummy
claire
Age is no excuse for manners dear. Now clean up that mess, it will give you valuable practice for life.
Jenny walks out of the room now stripped of all her innocence and careless freedom. She heads to the kitchen, which is expectantly neat and proper. Opening a cupboard below the sink she grabs a sponge and cleaning spray. As she turns to leave someone appears through some french doors. It's the hero we all love OWEN he's not aged a single day in the 6 years since we last saw him. His outrageously well chiseled face draws in all the focus. Holding an oiled rag and slightly sweaty it's clear he's just been fixing up an automobile of some description. What a guy.
owen
Hey do I not get a hug from my only daughter?
Jenny turns on the spot, she's sulking.
jenny
I'm busy daddy.
owen
oh. Sorry madam. Get back to your work
Jenny heads down the corridor and kneels down to clean up the mud she dragged in on her shoes. Owen looks on, a small smile on his face he's raised a good child here no doubt about it. Owen goes to the sink and washes himself down the water dripping from his forehead. In the background Claire walks into the room. She opens the fridge and starts to collect several ingredients.
owen
So. You finally got Jenny working for you now.
Claire gives Owen a glare, she loves him only doesn't wish to show it.
CLAIRE
She needs proper instruction. It's not like she's getting any of that from her father.
Owen glances over his shoulder (to clarify Jenny is definitely Owens daughter, the perfect mixture of two attractive white adults)
owen
Of course proper instruction has always worked for you in the past.
Claire's glare turns into a short laugh of recognition. Owen joins her in the laugh. They reminisce about that time on Isla Nublar, they can enjoy it now despite the horrific deaths of innocent people.
claire
How goes the death machine?
Claire walks over to her husband and places her arms around his body resting her head on his shoulder.
owen
You mean my motorcyle or these guns!?
Owen flexes his arms, to be fair they are outrageously well built. Claire rolls her eyes.
claire
The bike dear
As if that needed to be said
owen
I had to (INSERT MOTORBIKE PART HERE) and then replace the (INSERT MOTORBIKE PART HERE)So you know it's still as deadly as ever!
Claire acts like she cares but really she doesn't know why she even asked that question. There's a sense that everything isn't quite right in the relationship as though it's all forced. This could be integral to the plot later as they may have to make a rash and questionable descision...
CLAIRE
Lives good now right? Were settled and that court case was finally put to bed.
Owen turns around and looks down at Claire.
owen
Everythings great
claire
So you're happy?
Ever the concerned wife.
OWEN
How could I not be!? I'm living the american dream! (Ask Chris to put on that extra charm that comes so naturally to him)
They kiss, it seems the appropiate thing to do. Then Jenny walks in.
Jenny
Ewwwwwwww.
Claire and Owen unlock themselves from their embrace and share another laugh. Maybe everything really is alright. Claire turns her attention to the food.
claire
Looks like were all out of milk so I had best run to the shop.
owen
Oh I can do that
claire
Yeah you sure?
As if going to the shop is a big deal
owen
Of course! I've got to quickly head to the sancturary anyway to pick something something up.
claire
Ok, thank you.
Owen looks down at Jenny
owen
If you're not to busy madam would you like to join me?
jenny
YES! YES! YES!
Claire
She's got to have a bath don't forget Owen.
owen
Oh it's still early! She will be fine
Owen is clearly the softer more fun abding parent in contrast to Claire's strict rules.
claire
Well just don't take long
owen
Yes dear
Owen gives a sharp salute, he's well aware of who wears the trousers in this relationship but he's a cool guy so he's perfectly fine with that.
jenny
Yes mummy!
Jenny mocks her father with a sharp salute.
Owen
Let's roll
Jenny and Owen head out the front door and down the driveway. There sits a pristine Cadillac escalade people carrier. Modern and questionably up market but it will look great in the right lightening.
Jenny
Can I sit up front?
owen
Yeah just don't tell your mother
Jenny jumps into the passenger side, what a slick interior it is as well. Owen sits and readies the engine. The radio fires up, something along the lines of Bon Jovi kicks in and they roll out on the quiet road as we take an aerial shot of the beautiful surroundings.
