Does anyone know when the new trailer is supposed to be on tv today?

I'm British, so don't know too much about US sports, but it starts at 11:30 PM for me, so 6:30 PM for you. Trailers are at half time, it's predicted that should be around 8 - 8:30 for the US.

Who is new villains? It is not Biosyn so maybe John Hammond?

You mean his clone? Else I don´t know how that would work ;).

According to maxbautde, a T. Rex and a Velociraptor will also appear in the Rebirth sets.

Almost a given since they're confirmed to be in the movie and are a LJW staple, but nice to have it confirmed I guess.

I think I'm ready for Lego to start producing Atrociraptor size Velociraptors. The down side being they'll lose articulation which reduces playability for children, the intended audience, but maybe they don't have to retire the 2012 raptor completely and still use it in 4+ sets.

The 30th anniversary JP sets could have been the right time to make the switch, as they skewed slightly towards adult nostalgia and less to children, and to compensate for the smaller size, Lego could have doubled the number of raptors - delusional, I know.

I've seen a handful of bootleg Velociraptors the size of the Atrociraptors and even they've managed to sneak in some articulation (even if it is a little awkward), maybe TLG can take notes from them?

Which dino are you talking about.

The Spino

No no, i mean its only 1 tail piece but they are two materials like the raptor body/t rex tail etc

For me, the photos I have seen, it looks like the tail is constructed from 2 separate parts. Or is it similar to the tails of Baryonyx and Therizinosaurus? 2pieced, but 1piece?

Yeah I looked at my original barry, therra, and indoraptor, on them the base is standard plastic and more than half of the end of the tail is a rubber substance simaler or the same they use for horns, tails, beaks. The rubber part is firmly attached and can't be turned or removed without damaging your toy.

So it's a good bet the end of the spino tail is the same "don't sue us rubber".

Is this 5 years after Dominion? John Hammond lives...

1) He‘s dead, as is evident in JW. His passing was mentioned in JW and I‘m pretty sure in JWFK too, when his former business partner Lockwood was introduced.
2) Even if he was alive, why on Earth would he be the villain? Sure, his actions led to a lot of death, but it was never malicious. He might be more of a villain in the books, but the movies always painted a more innocent picture of his.

3) his actor died in 2014

CGI + clone

…just why  

Also, lame Super Bowl spot. It‘s just a shortened version of the trailer!

What did you expect? Most Super Bowl spots for movies are like that.

And the idea of Hammond coming back is ridiculous on so many levels that I won't even think about it.

Not really. The Thunderbolts* trailer for instance was brand-new, and movies in the past also had spots with a ton of new footage. Some movie trailers even debuted there (PotC 5 and Solo e.g.). I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen a Super Bowl movie spot that had as little new footage as this one

I think it's likely due to the fact they just debuted the trailer 4 days before the superbowl. They likely wanted to show off the movie at the superbowl but wanted a little more focus on just JW then it airing at the same time as many other trailers, thus the trailer dropping a few days early

Well, the spot for Thunderbolts* is also just a short version of the trailer.

The difference is, they debuted a trailer for Rebirth a week before, while the ones you mentioned released on the same day. Also, for example, How to Train Your Dragon got a spot, which will just be a short version of the trailer which will be revealed a few days after the game.

It's all the same thing. Getting shorter versions of the trailers is just as common as getting spots made specifically for this event, with its own scenes, structure, and music.

Both thunderbolts and httyd had numerous added scenes to the trailers that we hadn't seen before.

How to Train Your Dragon didn't even get a trailer yet (only a teaser trailer some time ago), it's releasing on Wednesday—as mentioned in the spot. Thunderbolts* had like two, three new shots max.

My point is, it doesn't really make sense to expect a fully new TV spot when they've literally released the trailer a week ago specifically for this occasion.

But we're getting really off-topic, so I'll finish that here.

You need to read the article, not just the headline. The writer argues that the existence of a third island full of dinos that were experimented on makes Hammond more villanious in hindsight, if he helped cover it up like he did with the second island. He’s not gonna be in the movie

[imposter]

He might be in CGI like in Star Wars.

That just isn't going to happen because not only has he canonically been dead for like 20 or so years, but it would be cheaper to just hire an actor anyway

[BrickBob Studpants]

Unless you’re talking about a flashback scene, he will not be in the movie. It’s established he died well before JW. And a clone appearing would be equal parts moronic, pointless, and kinda impossible since clones don’t have accelerated aging, unless Kaminoans are behind it  And what point would a Hammond clone even serve in the story?! It’d just be a random guy looking like Hammond. You can’t clone memories. Might as well have a mutant T-Rex with Hammond’s head in the movie

And even a flashback would be pointless. Peter Cushing was resurrected digitally for Rogue One because Tarkin simply had to be there. People are already iffy about justified CGI resurrections, and this would serve no purpose.

He did not have to be there—that's what recasts are for.

But that argument aside, I don't really see why Hammond would come back, one way or another.
