Jurassic World: Dominion extended edition now on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital

As of today, August 16th, an extended cut of Jurassic World: Dominion is available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. This extended edition of the film adds in 14 minutes of footage that wasn’t in the theatrical cut of the movie, including an alternate opening! You can secure your own copy at THIS LINK.

JoBlo.com’s own Lance Vlcek was recently invited to Malta (which is featured in the film) to cover a special Jurassic World: Dominion event, learn about Malta’s culture, and sit down with Malta film commissioner Johann Grech to discuss the importance of Jurassic World: Dominion for Malta’s booming film business. We have also talked with the film’s director Colin Trevorrow and stars Bryce Dallas Howard and DeWanda Wise, so watch for more Jurassic World: Dominion content to show up this week.

The opening scene of the extended edition takes viewers back to the prehistoric age, 65 million years ago. This prologue was reportedly very important to Trevorrow, as it is directly connected to the end of the film and “contextualizes the final battle in a completely different way”. Also in there is a Western-inspired standoff scene between the characters of Owen and Delacourt, an encounter Blue and Beta have with hunters in the woods, an extended scene of Ellie and Alan catching up with each other, and a scene of Kayla at the dino market in Malta that features an additional dinosaur fight that Trevorrow counts among his favorite dinosaur-on-dinosaur death scenes.

Trevorrow, who previously directed the first Jurassic World, directed this one from a screenplay he wrote with Emily Carmichael, based on an idea he crafted with his Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom co-writer Derek Connolly. Here’s the plot:

When a bunch of dinosaurs get loose around the world, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) go on a globetrotting mission to round them up before mankind falls a few spots on the food chain. Back for this Jurassic installment are original trilogy characters including Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern).

Also in the cast are Omar Sy, Mamoudou Athie, Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, Scott Haze, Campbell Scott, and Dichen Lachman.

A collaboration between Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Jurassic World: Dominion was executive produced by Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg, with Frank Marshall producing alongside Pat Crowley. Sara Scott, senior vice president of production at Universal, oversaw the project for the studio.
