Now, with Rebirth, the Jeep brand once again proves it’s the ultimate vehicle for wild frontiers—prehistoric or otherwise. About the Film: Jurassic World Rebirth Starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, and more, the new film follows a daring dino extraction team into a long-abandoned island research facility. The film was directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One) and written by David Koepp. Where to Watch There's good news for Central Illinois Jeep and Jurassic Park fans.
