Hi reddit!

I’m J.A. Bayona, director of the new film A Monster Calls, which opens in theaters everywhere today! I’ve also directed The Impossible and The Orphanage and am now working on the upcoming Jurassic World.

Ask me anything!

Director J.A. Bayona Arrives in Auckland, NZ

Director J.A. Bayona has arrived in Auckland, NZ. The director 'shot his first bit of film' on his camera phone while awaiting brunch at an Auckland cafe. I'm quite hopeful after seeing this tidbit of 'film,' actually, because its pretty much exactly what the cast and crew of Wheel of Time (filming in Prague, Croatia, etc) have been doing for the nearly 2 months that they've been filming. They've provided tidbits, photos, little updates and hints all along which has kept the long waiting period interesting and enjoyable for WoT fans. Since both WoT and LOTR Second Age are Amazon productions, I'm hopeful that now we will begin to see these little teases and updates as filming on LOTR Second Age finally begins in earnest!

Just wanted to thank the people who made this show possible, and created one of the series I love the most. Don’t let the haters undermine your passion and continue with the hard work. I love you all.

• How would Dominion have been if J.A Bayona directed it ?

Since J.A Bayona directed Fallen Kingdom and added some horror elements to the film. Would the plot be the same ? Or drastically different / better ? My best guess is he would utilize the legacy characters more , include more dinosaurs & prehistoric creatures, and make the body count more higher. Please leave your thoughts on this question in the comments.
