A Jurassic World prequel is on its way!

The surprise prequel will be called LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit and will air on November NBC on November 29 this year. The movie will delve into the creation of Jurassic Park and will explore Claire and Owen’s early interactions.

Although the plot seems to tie in with the blockbuster Jurassic World franchise, the trailer suggests that the film will take an entirely different tone. You can watch the silly and  charming trailer here:

The lengthy but immensely intriguing synopsis of the movie reads:

“With the grand opening of Jurassic World’s new super-secret dinosaur exhibit just days away, only one thing is missing – the dinosaurs! In order to get the job done, Simon Masrani enlists his newly-hired assistant, Claire Dearing, to ensure the new attraction opens on time…or else.

“Unfortunately, Owen Grady, the animal behaviorist Claire hired to deliver the dinosaurs, is late. Things aren’t looking too good for Claire…or for Owen, who just wants to deliver the dinosaurs, collect his paycheck and get off the island.

It continues: “But the mission to deliver the dinosaurs turns out to be far more difficult than anyone could have imagined. From a runaway Gyrosphere, hang gliding with a Pteranodon (how did they get out of the Aviary?!), to a high-speed game of chicken with a T-Rex, Owen will earn his paycheck and then some. And Claire may just get promoted to Assistant Manager of Park Operations.

“Along the way, we get the first inklings of why Owen and Claire drive each other crazy, but despite their differences, they succeed and make a great team. Oh, and Owen meets Blue for the first time as he discovers he has a way with dinosaurs he never knew about!”
