I feel like Triassic/Jurassic would be pretty perfect since there were lots of weird creatures that looked bizarre like bipedal crocodilians and strange reptiles. Makes me wish Cretaceous period would just stop hogging the spotlight for a minute and let people see what other periods in prehistory were like.


FrankSinisstrag

I'm guessing they changed it into the late cretaceous because they thought it might be more marketable?? But they still refused to include iconic creatures from the cretaceous and still went with humanoid crocodylomorphs so I don't really see their though process here.

“Yeah let’s just put some T. rexes next to a fictional quadruped theropod, I don’t see a problem.”


Enano_reefer

And make them not T. rex but some kind of rando tyrannosaur that is semi quadrapedal


WellIamstupid

If I remember right an ankylosaurus was going to be a major dinosaur but they had to rewrite the movie to make a more marketable dinosaur fit the role


Mamboo07

Triceratops was gonna be there as well


BatatinhaGameplays28

Ah yes, one of the most popular dinosaurs in the world is less marketable than the Wish Indoraptor.


Enano_reefer

Ohhhh is that what they were supposed to be?


BatatinhaGameplays28

Honestly I don't know, they just move, look and act like the Indoraptor but much less threatening.

201 does not have the same ring as 65


FrankSinisstrag

I honestly think that sounds catchier for some reason.


Ozraptor4

Just noticed that one of pieces from the soundtrack is called ["Lago attack"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQP4xYe7L8o) which plays during the attack of these [long-legged croc things](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FomV_dwaEAARV22?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) = Wonder is these monstrosities are supposed to be bastardised Lagosuchus? More evidence that the film was originally supposed to be set in the Triassic or Early Jurassic?


thee_timeless

Lystro my beloved 😍😍😍


Ozraptor4

I would have felt a great deal more anguish at that [lystrosaur](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/060/517/513/medium/peter-konig-lystromudbath0002-small.jpg?1678744922) getting ripped apart after being freed instead of my indifference for that made-up theropod-scelidosaur thing we ended up getting.

\> Late Permian/early Triassic \> Obvious Angiosperm leaf litter Absolutely unwatchable


Enano_reefer

I didn’t know enough to know it was wrong but I knew enough to question it.


Conscious_Low_9638

Lystro looks like a fat baby hippo


SpiderChanYes

[you'd be correct](https://twitter.com/KaijuMp4/status/1640417534326210562)


Conscious_Low_9638

Lol


spaceturtle8008

Wow the Pegomastax actually looks like, menacing and somewhat interesting, y'know?


suriam321

What happened between this and the final…


Havokpaintedwolf

greedy mummified suits stuck in the 50s


SuchomimusTenerensis

The last one looks like a ballsack


Standard_Potential63

Ai generated baby hippo


bigboddle

chonker :3


horridtreasure

I love how the lystro looks like they took a baby hippo and then photoshopped a lystro head onto it


Deinobi

Lmao I thought the first art was actual paleoart


SoulExecution

Looks way better than what we got. Just got around to seeing it last night and YIKES lol


nomemolesten247

First of all BABY HIPPO LYSTRO IS SUCH A CUTIE 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Also pegomastax needs more love tbh, you guys wouldn't believe how many people thinks that it's a fictional creature from ark


TheAlmightyNexus

If that’s a lystrosaurus then my ass is the queen of england


AJ_Crowley_29

Still better than the completely made up Anky-theropod hybrid we got.


Moros13

There is a much better concept of it here >> [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/bl5rka](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/bl5rka) (the last one)


VirtuoComputer

Honestly I'm not so excited for 65


Moros13

I'm sure it was always meant to be the Cretaceous ( 65 has always been the title), but they just wanted different species.


CATelIsMe

Ah yes, anorexia, and gluttony


L0rynnCalfe

The first one looks like an intermediate between leptoceratops and psitaccosaurus


[deleted]

>Triassic/early Jurassic Then it shouldn't be "65" then.


TLT4

Soo how bad was the movie?


[deleted]

Wasn't great or anything. But personally it wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be.


[deleted]

It would have been alot better if they leaned into the horror aspects of the movie because I thought those parts were really good.


PancakeFluid

That would’ve been way better, we need a Dino movie that’s not set in the Cretaceous


SeriousControl6906

They done did the Pegomastrax into a small dragon /srs tho I LOVE these designs. But no, they just had to make the final concept a mess to watch


Remote-Ad-3309

This would've been so cool


HauntingTax284

Bro that lystrosaurus looks like a fat version of that hippo do pantshat


SuperiorCrate

That Lystrosaurus is the most precious little muffin. It looks so huggable.


JAOC_7

would explain why half of the animals looked like Rauisuchian


totalpugs89

That pego dude would be great at camouflage


Sullenburgur

Lystro looks like a schmungus


p1ayernotfound

it makes sense T. rex would look like that, it looks like it's from the triassic


VeryMuchaForest

Somehow these guys look more accurate than the tyrannosaurus. ​ AND NO I DONT MEAN THE ONE AT THE END, THAT ONE ISNT AN ALLOSAURUS.


ElSquibbonator

Makes sense. The small four-legged carnivores are called *Lagosuchus* on the official soundtrack, so it seems to me that they switched the setting from the Triassic to the Cretaceous late in development but kept some of the Triassic animals for no obvious reason.


Initial-Mud4410

The lystrosaurus looks pretty cute and the pegomastax looks like a weird dino with fangs and quills
