One key item fromJurassic World Rebirthmakes me want a crossover with theHalloweenfranchise . The upcoming moving-picture show , which stars Scarlett Johansson and is being directed by Gareth Edwards from a screenplay by David Koepp , will be the 7th installation in the long - runningJurassic Parkfranchise . The iconic series of dinosaurs - move - amok blockbusters kicked off with the 1993 Steven Spielberg movie , adapting the Michael Crichton novel of the same name , and by the time of save the threeParkmovies and threeWorldmovies have cumulatively grossed more than $ 6 billion , becoming the 11th highest - gross movie franchise of all time .
TheHalloweenmovies , on the other deal , kicked off even earlier , beginning with John Carpenter ’s original slasher classic in 1978 . At the time of penning , there are now 13 theatrical installments in the horror franchisein a multitude of continuity , though the majority of them concentrate on the exploits of notorious nonparallel Orcinus orca Michael Myers , many times following his persistent pursuance of his intended dupe Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtis ) , who is his long - lost babe in some continuities . While this is seemingly unrelated to the dinosaur blockbusters , theupcomingJurassic World Rebirthstrikes an unusual connecter between the two franchise .
Jurassic World Rebirth is a impertinent start for the dealership , but it could still be connect to the other 6 Jurassic flick in some major ways .

Jurassic World 4’s Dr. Loomis Character Creates An Unexpected Halloween Connection
Jonathan Bailey Plays The Incoming Jurassic World Character
A recent breakdown of theJurassic Worldcastrevealed thatBridgertonstarJonathan Bailey will be playing a paleontologist named Dr. Henry Loomis . So far , no further details are known about the character , but his name provides an unusual joining to theHalloweenfranchise , as one of the primary character reference alongside Michael Myers and Laurie Strode is Dr. Sam Loomis . Dr. Loomis is the shrink who worked with Michael Myers in the sanatorium as a nestling and expend the majority of his adult life sentence tag down the serial killer and seek to stop his rampages .
Multiple actors have playedDr . Loomis inHalloween , withDonald Pleasence play the role in five of the first six movies , Malcolm McDowell lease over the theatrical role for two movie in the Rob Zombie remake continuity , and Tom Jones Jr. and Colin Mahan recreating the body and voice of the late Pleasence for a flashback succession in 2021’sHalloween Kills . Overall , the character has appeared in eight of the sprawl franchise ’s 13 movies , accrue just behind Laurie Strode ’s aggregate of nine appearances including Scout Taylor - Compton ’s stint in the role in the Rob Zombie picture show .
Dr. Loomis did not appear in 1982’sHalloween III : Season of the Witchbecause the movie is an anthology story about an evil maskmaker that is not instantly in continuity with the relaxation of the enfranchisement .
Five years after Jurassic World Dominion, Earth’s ecology confines dinosaurs to equatorial zones. Zora Bennett, a covert ops expert, leads a team to secure genetic material from massive dinosaurs for a life-saving drug. However, stranded on their mission, they discover a devastating secret hidden for decades.
I know that the name Dr. Sam Loomis does not exist in a vacuity , astheHalloweencharacter was named after Marion Crane ’s lover Sam Loomis in 1960’sPsycho , and the surname was later borrowed for Skeet Ulrich ’s character Billy Loomis in 1996’sScream . However , Psycho ’s Loomis was a hardware store owner andScream ’s Loomis was a high school student , so the front of a Dr. Loomis inJurassic World Rebirthwould still seem to give it a direct connection toHalloweenover either of those other iconic horror franchises .
A Jurassic & Halloween Crossover Movie Is Actually Possible
Licensing Might Not Present An Issue
While it is not a guarantee , aHalloweenandJurassiccrossover is not exclusively out of the doubt . From the origin , theJurassic Parkfranchise has belong to Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment . While theHalloweenfranchise is owned by Trancas International Films and has been since 1985 , Universal Pictures distributed the most recent trilogy of movies in the enfranchisement , which was co - raise by Blumhouse Productions , with whom they have a first - look mint . While that collaboration with Trancas is no longer fighting , it is possible that future talks could see Universal and Trancas reteam on more instalment .
The most recent update from the franchise is that Miramax acquired theHalloweentelevision rights from Trancas and is in growing on a series dress in the universe .
What A Jurassic & Halloween Crossover Movie Could Look Like
The Crossover Would Be Unusual And Entertaining
While a crossover between theHalloweenmoviesand theJurassic Parkfranchise would be unprecedented , I think it has the potentiality to be extremely entertaining . While it seems inevitable that there would have to be a scene or scenery where Michael Myers squares off against a dinosaur , the human - sized serial grampus may nevertheless discover himself outmatched by the prehistorical predator . While he oftentimes outsmart his dupe , he may not have the scientific knowledge necessary to outwit the brute strength of a T - Rex or other dinosaur of similar size .
Thus , it seems likely that he would be used as a co - antagonist in the movie , similar to the direction thatFreddy vs. Jasonhad the titular sea wolf from theFriday the 13thandElm Streetfranchises submit duplicate threats to the stripling at the center of the movie until their showdown against one another in the third deed . It seems possible that characters who survive an ordeal on one of theJurassicfranchise ’s islands , try an inland tax shelter as far away from islands full of dinosaurs as possible , move to Haddonfield , Illinois , where they discover themselves in Michael ’s crosshairs .
A Crossover Jurassic World & Halloween Movie Is Probably Unlikely
The Movie Likely Would Not Work For A Variety Of Reasons
In addition to the inherent might disparity between Michael Myers and a herd of dinosaurs , there are several important understanding why it is unlikely that theJurassic Parkmovieswill ever cross over with theHalloweenfranchise . The first is thatthe horror serial publication is R - rat while theJurassicmovies are squarely PG-13 . Given the enormous budgets required to bring dinosaurs to life onscreen , it will be see as a much more significant financial risk to shut the picture show off to the young demographic and limit the audience just to those who are 17 and older .
The studio might take a risk on a combined IP but not a huge budget .
While the late Marvel hitDeadpool & Wolverineproved radius - rated movies can surpass $ 1 billion , it is an outlier . A crossover between the dealership would likely only come if both individually began to lose significant losses , in which character the studio apartment might take a endangerment on a combined IP but not a huge budget . While the character name inJurassic World Rebirthcould very well be an intentional reference to the iconicHalloweencharacter , it seems improbable to actually be a tease of anything that will ever come to fruition , as much as I might want it to happen .
