Steven Spielberg and David Koepp Unleash a New Dinosaur Era with “Jurassic World Rebirth” – In PH Cinemas July 2!

The master of cinematic spectacle, Steven Spielberg, and iconic screenwriter David Koepp are reuniting to reshape the future of dinosaurs in Jurassic World Rebirth, roaring exclusively into Philippine cinemas on July 2, 2025.

Three decades after Spielberg first captivated the world with Jurassic Park (1993), he returns as Executive Producer to steer the franchise into uncharted territory. Alongside him is Koepp, the original Jurassic Park screenwriter, crafting a story that’s both a thrilling reboot and a loving nod to the legacy.

“We wanted a film that felt like a fresh start while remaining in the world of the previous films,” says producer Frank Marshall, who has been the longtime producer of the franchise. “We continue to develop the idea that ‘life finds a way’ with a different kind of story that combines heist-movie adventure with creature-feature horror. We have new characters, a new setting, and new dinosaurs, some of which have gone very, very bad. At the same time, what I find exciting about Rebirth is that it finds a tone that harkens back to the original Jurassic Park. And that has a lot to do with the creative team we assembled for this one.”

Watch The Official Trailer Here:

A Bold New Era: Dinosaurs, Danger & Life’s Greatest Mystery

Set five years after the explosive events of Jurassic World Dominion, the earth’s ecology has shifted, leaving dinosaurs to survive only in isolated equatorial zones mimicking prehistoric climates.

But hidden within the DNA of the planet’s three most colossal creatures—rulers of land, sea, and sky—is the key to something extraordinary: a life-saving drug that could revolutionize medicine and extend human life.

The concept was sparked by Koepp’s real-life curiosity about dinosaurs’ biological resilience. “While doing research, I found that certain dinosaurs, larger ones in particular, did have extraordinarily long lifespans and the reason was they had remarkably low incidences of heart disease,” says Koepp. “That led to the idea that a drug could be synthesized from their DNA, because the greatest killer of humans is heart disease. The nice thing about that premise was that it was true to the core theme, ‘life finds a way.’ Life extension! Everyone can get onboard with that! To me, that seemed a valid reason—combined with the promise of a massive payday for the covert operations team—for smart, competent people to take the risk of going on an adventure into the most dangerous place in the world.”

Back to the Roots: Plausible Science, Real Humor & Dinosaur Mayhem

Spielberg and Koepp meticulously followed their unwritten rules for a true Jurassic film: stay grounded in science, maintain continuity, and never forget the humor.

“Humor is oxygen for movies like these,” Koepp says. “Not in a self-conscious way, but in an utterly believable, character-oriented way. To me there’s nothing funnier in films like these where you have characters trying to stay calm in the face of extreme peril by understating it.”

Jurassic World Rebirth Roars into Philippine Cinemas July 2!

Mark your calendars! Get ready for prehistoric thrills, heart-pounding adventure, and a story that reimagines what it means when life finds a way.

Danny and Michael Philippou Unleash Terrifying New A24 Horror “Bring Her Back” — In PH Cinemas July 16

The masters of modern horror are back, and this time, it’s personal.

Filmmaking duo and real-life brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, celebrated for their 2022 breakout Talk to Me, return to the big screen with their latest nerve-wracking project, Bring Her Back, arriving in Philippine cinemas on July 16, 2025.

Known for blending raw emotion with spine-tingling scares, the Philippou brothers promise a terrifying yet heartfelt cinematic ride.

“With the movies that we make, whether it’s horror or any other genre, we really want our stories to have a strong emotional core. The stuff we want to create, we want it to work on multiple levels,” said Michael.”

Danny agrees wholeheartedly.

“We don’t want to be scared of something that’s a horror movie. We want to embrace that it’s a horror film, and be proud of making a horror film.”

Watch the Official Trailer Here:

A Sinister Tale Rooted in Emotion

Bring Her Back follows the unsettling story of teenage siblings Andy (played by rising star Billy Barratt) and his low-vision sister Piper (portrayed by newcomer Sora Wong) as they are placed under the care of a new foster mother in an isolated home. But what begins as a fresh start quickly spirals into a waking nightmare when the siblings uncover a disturbing ritual hidden within their new environment.

More than just supernatural thrills, the film draws inspiration from a deeply personal place.

Danny Philippou reveals, “Our“Our friend’s little sister is non-sighted, and there was a situation with her family where she really wanted to go and catch the bus by herself, but her parents wouldn’t let her do it,” Danny says. “She was trying to communicate with them that she’s going to have to learn to navigate the world without everyone babying her all the time, that she needs to have her own independence.” friend’s little sister is visually impaired, and there was this moment where she wanted to catch the bus by herself, but her parents were hesitant. She kept telling them she needed to face the world on her own terms.”

This theme of independence, resilience, and the fight to be seen echoes powerfully through Piper’s character arc.

The result? A horror film that hits on emotional and psychological levels, building a connection with audiences far beyond jump scares.

A More Intimate Horror Experience

While Talk to Me became known for its frenetic, party-horror energy, Bring Her Back takes a different, more introspective turn.

“Talk to Me feels like a party horror film, but this film is more character-driven,” Danny says. “We liked the challenge of a contained story about these three characters, focusing on their relationships.”

Early buzz suggests fans of atmospheric horror, psychological tension, and elevated storytelling won’t want to miss this.

Get Ready for the Fear-Fueled Ride — July 16, PH Cinemas

With A24 backing another bold entry into the horror genre and the Philippou brothers at the helm, Bring Her Back promises to deliver goosebumps, emotional depth, and a haunting story that lingers long after the credits roll.

“The Naked Gun” Returns with Liam Neeson and a Freshly Unleashed Trailer and Poster

Liam Neeson is stepping out of his usual action-packed roles—and into a pair of very large comedic shoes—as he takes the lead in the upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun. Hitting Philippine cinemas on August 13, the new film brings back the beloved slapstick style of the original, this time with Neeson playing Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the iconic detective made famous by Leslie Nielsen.

Fans finally got a sneak peek with the release of the film’s official trailer and poster, giving us a hilarious glimpse into the chaos that awaits.

Watch the New Trailer Now:

A Comedy Classic Returns

Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and produced by Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy), The Naked Gun brings back the kind of wild, over-the-top parody that made the original a cult classic. But this time, there’s a new Drebin in town—and he’s got his own “particular set of skills.”

Star-Studded and Silly

The film also features a fun and eclectic supporting cast that includes Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, WWE superstar Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston. Whether they’re part of the police force or the criminal chaos, expect big laughs and bigger stunts.

From Action Icon to Comedy King?

Best known for intense roles in films like Taken and The Grey, Neeson has been showing off his comedic timing in recent years with appearances in projects like A Million Ways to Die in the West and Life’s Too Short. Now, as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., he’s fully embracing the absurdity, bringing a fresh (and funny) take to the bumbling detective character that made The Naked Gun a hit in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Will he live up to his father’s name? Or at least survive the explosions, pratfalls, and punchlines? One thing’s for sure—it’s going to be ridiculous fun.

Don’t Miss the Fun on the Big Screen

The Naked Gun makes its way to cinemas across the Philippines starting August 13, and judging from the trailer, it’s going to be one hilariously bumpy ride. Follow the conversation online using #NakedGun and tag @paramountpicsph to share your reactions and favorite moments.

Get ready for crime-fighting gone wrong—very wrong. Because when the Drebins are on the case, nothing is safe… not even the punchlines.
