Let’s face it: The Jurassic Park franchise took a turn for the terrible.

And a comeback would not be aided by all the terrible CGI effects that have become the standard since we were first dazzled by the very first Jurassic Park back in the nineties.

In addition to ground-breaking effects, the movie also featured man-made dinosaurs, powerful and terrifying puppets. These realistic dinosaur creations gave us a more accurate picture than we probably ever wanted of the damage that dinosaurs could inflict back when they ruled the world.

The sensation of wonder is one that director Colin Trevorrow is hoping to recapture with Jurassic World, the fourth Jurassic Park movie.

Though much of the movie has been kept under wraps, a recent image supposedly leaked from the set of the new movie has got movie fans buzzing.

The image features what appears to be a velociraptor wearing a metallic muzzle. The detailing is phenomenal and it’s insisted that the dino is NOT the result of CGI.

It’s been speculated that the “muzzle” is meant to hold the raptor in place and protect the creation from damage. Others think that the muzzle may have something to do with the plot.

Those responding to the hype generated by the leaked image will have to wait awhile before finding out which theory is true.

This image would represent but a small glimpse into the world of the latest movie. If the leaked picture is genuine, it signals that Trevorrow may have achieved a “back to basics” effect after all.

Fans of the Jurassic Park franchise are expected to get a more detailed look at the upcoming movie at the San Diego Comic Con. There is already some talk that a raptor of some sort just might make an appearance.
