That is all the detail announced. The similarity in title to "Westworld" really can't be a coincidence.

I don't get why everyone's freaking out about the title. It's pretty much in line with the series. What's got me doubting this film's credibility is the budget jump Trevorrow is making from $750,000 to probably $150mil or more. Thought Universal would have learned their lesson when Carl Rinsch went way over budget and, I believe, over schedule on 47 Ronin. I guess Spielberg's probably keeping him in check.

Well, if Colin Trevorrow actually is going to be the director, then I'd agree he doesn't really have the resume for it (though I enjoyed Safety Not Guaranteed). But it could be an entirely different project.
 
I wonder if Jurassic World is just referring to a larger theme park (like Disneyworld is to Disneyland), or if we're going to see a movie set 15-20 years after dinosaurs have been unleashed worldwide, showing how mankind copes with living with them again.

That's my first thought, but there's no other info.

Could build off the line "oh, why didn't I build in Orlando?" (Line made kind of moot by the second movie.)

I could swear I read somewhere that it would take place on Isla Nubar, the original island. Maybe not though. But Spielberg is involved again, so hopefully it is better than the 3rd one.
 
With advances made in the field of palaeontology, I wouldnt have minded seeing a bit of a dinosaur upgrade. It has been 21 years since Jurassic Park and theres been many discoveries in what dinosaurs of many kinds actually looked like. Velociraptors in JP were great, everything looked like the current scientific thought. These look like they're stuck in the old school. Just IMO.

The beauty of JP was, whilst the main characters were blown away by there being real live dinosaurs, I was equally captured by it being the first time I'd seen dinosaurs represented in such a life like fashion and got to do it through the characters eyes as well - a fantastic mix. To me this looks a bit like the Warner Studios tour version of all that.

Pretty good write up. Definitely agree about digital cinematography making things tougher for VFX artists, and I think another example is effects work in The Hobbit vs. Lord of the Rings. The grain that was added to the final composites to match the film gave everything in LOTR a more integrated, realistic feel, whereas The Hobbit ended up looking more artificial much of the time and many of the composites less convincing. At the same time, I think more work has to go into creating virtual camera software that more closely matches the flaws and idiosyncrasies of real camera lenses. Things are often rendered out too perfectly in CGI, with a sharpness and visual perfection that no lens could ever match.
 
For those curious about the title, check this out. I received this book in seventh grade I think. It contained both of the Crichton novels in one hardcover package. Keep in mind I'm 29 now, so this was in like 97-98 probably.
