Ed Verreaux, production designer on the upcoming Jurassic Park III, told the Horror Online Web site in a brief interview that the third film will be darker than its first two predecessors. "I think it's going to be a little bit darker, a little bit more moody," Verreaux said. "Shelly Johnson, the [director of photography], has just really done a great job at photographing [the film]."

The film features Sam Neill, reprising his Jurassic Park role of Dr. Alan Grant, and T?a Leoni, William H. Macy, Michael Jeter and Trevor Morgan. In one scene, "our band of survivors [has] been traipsing across the island, and they come across another InGen compound," Verreaux said. "And what they find is that the InGen people have been breeding dinosaurs in a big laboratory."

Verreaux is bringing to bear his experience from the first Jurassic Park film. "That's been a real help for me," he said. "I haven't had to find guys who have to reinvent the wheel. ... It's like, 'We've already done this, we know what this set looks like.' The thing is, we did try and make this look different from I and II. Hopefully, we were able to succeed."

Jurassic Park III opens July 14.
