The photographic teases from the set of Jurassic World continue, courtesy of director Colin Trevorrow.

After posting an ominous photo from the set of the upcoming film a few weeks ago depicting the shadow of a jagged-toothed dinosaur, Trevorrow upped the ante over the weekend with a new photograph that’s equally — if not more — sinister than the first.

Posted to Twitter with the simple description “Saturday, 4AM” the new photo features a portion of a “Mobile Veterinary Unit” vehicle with a bloody, human handprint plastered on it. Streaks of blood can be seen underneath the handprint, offering the impression that whoever made the print was likely dragged away.

How’s that for a tease?

After some early issues with a leaked draft of the film’s script, Jurassic World seems to be rolling right along now under the direction of the Safety Not Guaranteed filmmaker. The fourth film in the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World is set more than 20 years after the events of the original release in a dinosaur theme park that undertakes some questionable experiments in order to counter flagging attendance. The film stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Judy Greer. Actor BD Wong reprises his role as scientist Henry Wu from the first film.

Jurassic World is expected to hit 3D, 2D, and IMAX theaters June 12, 2015.

5 great dinosaur movies like Jurassic World Dominion

A T-Rex roaring triumphantly as a banner falls in Jurassic Park.

Steven Spielberg's adaptation of author Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park left a longstanding legacy in Hollywood, with a sixth mainline entry hitting theaters this week in the form of Jurassic World Dominion. Dinosaurs have also long been one of the most popular aspects of the planet's history, inspiring plenty of imagination about what these ancient animals were like and how they perished.

And while there aren't as many dinosaur movies as one might think given their natural awe-inspiring appeal, there have been a few noteworthy ones over the last few decades. Whether it's the landmark original movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, a beloved animated family classic, or a fascinating BBC documentary, there's enough range in the subgenre for audiences to indulge their excitement for the upcoming movie.

Jurassic World Dominion review: Dinosaur doldrums

The cast of Jurassic World: Dominion tries to avoid the jaws of a dinosaur attempting to reach them.

After five films that collectively earned more than $5 billion and a trio of Academy Awards, if there's one thing the Jurassic Park franchise should be good at by now, it's giving audiences plenty of exciting dinosaur-fueled action in each installment. After all, the dinosaurs are the real stars of the films, aren't they? It might seem like that should go without saying, but Jurassic World Dominion appears to have missed the message.

The concluding chapter in the Jurassic World sequel trilogy might be full of fun reunions for the franchise's characters, but in pushing dinosaurs to the background in favor of a more conventional, action-adventure ensemble feature, Jurassic World Dominion abandons too much of what made the franchise so reliably entertaining.

Beyond Marvel and Jurassic World: Chris Pratt’s 5 best roles

Chris Pratt has had a very interesting career. His first major role came way back in 2002 when he co-starred in the short-lived WB series Everwood. Pratt played supporting roles in multiple films throughout the early 2000s, including Jennifer's Body, Take Me Home Tonight, The Five-Year Engagement, and What's Your Number. However, his breakthrough came with the critically-acclaimed NBC hit Parks and Recreation, playing the dim-witted but lovable Andy Dwyer, a role that earned him a Critics Choice Award nomination in 2013.

Major critical and commercial acclaim came thanks to his starring role in James Gunn's 2014 space adventure Guardians of the Galaxy. The film turned Pratt into a bonafide star and the action man of tomorrow, setting the stage for his future roles in major blockbusters. Pratt remains an A-lister, even if his reputation and box office receipts have suffered in recent years. And while the roles he plays are often similar, he manages to imbue each with enough charm and charisma, delivering several memorable characters that cement his reputation as a quality leading man.
