Jurassic World Rebirth (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is thesoundtrack album to the 2025 filmJurassic World Rebirth, thestandalone sequel toJurassic World Dominion (2022), the fourthJurassic World film and the seventh installment overall in theJurassic Park franchise. The film is directed byGareth Edwards and starsScarlett Johansson,Mahershala Ali,Jonathan Bailey,Rupert Friend,Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, andEd Skrein.
The score was composed, co-orchestrated, and conducted byAlexandre Desplat and recorded atAbbey Road Studios inLondon. The score was released throughBack Lot Music on July 2, 2025, the same day as the film, with the first of the tracks, "Boat Chase" preceded as thelead single from the album on June 26.
In April 2025,Alexandre Desplat was confirmed as the composer forJurassic World Rebirth, reuniting with Edwards afterGodzilla (2014).[1][2] Desplat replaces previousJurassic World composerMichael Giacchino in a contrasting parallel toRogue One (2016), another film directed by Edwards, in which Giacchino replaced Desplat as composer due to reshoots which left the latter unavailable.[3][4]
"At first, you're excited, then panic comes along because you realize that you're taking over from a fabulous composer who invented so many great things that the whole planet knows. You try to find your way through that [...] You try to make it your own, and at the same time, pay homage to Williams' music, and try to find your own way through that by inventing new themes and ideas, but staying in the same artistic zone as the scores of the franchise."
Desplat incorporated previous musical themes byJohn Williams from the first twoJurassic Park films.[5][6] He considered it as "quite a daunting task" due to Williams' body of work consisting of iconic films, and wanted to honor his work, balancing how and where he could blend Williams' theme by predominant use of orchestral score.[1][4] He also wanted to create his own material within the context of the film's story, by inventing new themes and ideas but staying in the same artistic zone as the scores of the franchise. The emotional aspect of the film was split into two sections: the group of people looking for the dinosaurs, and another group of people, which is a family. Desplat composed two different themes and melodies that belonged to the groups, while the rest of the aspect were the action, for which he provided action music.[1]. Desplat had prior done something similar for the twoHarry Potter andthe Deathly Hallows film adaptations, where he had reused several cues from John Williams’ original score for thefirst film, while also composing new material.
Edwards highly praised Desplat's work forRebirth and his approach on paying homage to Williams' score.[1] He noted that Williams' themes were referenced at multiple points and Desplat had incorporated several versions of it, but for one particular version, he felt that "some magic was missing" as a fan and could not be played in the end credits as it need to reference Williams' theme as the needle drop, similar to thefirst film.[7] Hence, the said theme was played twice and used in two different places. Some of Wiliams' work were subtly incorporated with little hints of that time in certain moments.[8]
Desplat recorded the score atAbbey Road Studios in London, with a 105-piece orchestra and a 60-piece choir.[1] Desplat orchestrated his score alongside longtime collaborators Conrad Pope, who worked on theoriginal film score, Jean-Pascal Beintus, Nicolas Charron, Sylvain Morizet, Bill Newlin, Larry Rench and Nan Schwartz, with Desplat conducting.[8] Besides acting in the film, Bailey contributed to the film score by playing clarinet solos;[9][10] Bailey added that he "got goosebumps" on listening to Desplat's score resulting in his involvement on playing clarinet, which he did during his school days.[11][12]
Back Lot Music announced that the soundtrack would be released on July 2, 2025, the same date as the film.[13] The track list was announced on June 26, consisted of 34 tracks, with the first track "Boat Chase" being made available for release as asingle.[14][15] A vinyl edition of the album is scheduled to be released through Mutant.[16][17]

Zanobard Reviews gave 8.5 out of 10 and wrote "Alexandre Desplat’s stunning score forJurassic World Rebirth returns us to the iconic franchise in utterly gorgeous style, as the composer’s meticulous approach to orchestration shines across some spectacular action setpieces and impeccable renditions of themes both iconically old and entertainingly new."[18] Jonathan Broxton ofMovie Music UK wrote "the score is occasionally dialed down too much in the sound mix, resulting in a great deal of Desplat’s detail getting lost under screams and roars, but in the moments where the music is allowed to sing – the boat chase sequence, the tyrannosaurus river sequence, the finale with the ‘D-Rex’ – it really impresses. However, it is on the album that the true excellence and intelligence of Desplat’s music is revealed, and all that delicious instrumental intricacy, that thematic interplay, and that creative orchestration comes rushing into focus."[19]Filmtracks wrote "Desplat did exactly what film score collectors could have predicted forJurassic World Rebirth: written brilliantly precise and perfectly sufficient music at the periphery of Williams' style while somehow managing to provide absolutely nothing memorable. Despite all the consternation aboutDon Davis' approach toJurassic Park III, he in retrospect handled the Williams conundrum better than Giacchino or Desplat. A 102-minute album presentation is unforgiving in its length, badly in need of consolidation to half an hour. This score is more proof that Desplat will always lack the "it" factor because of his style of writing, and if this franchise insists upon moving forward, then let's hope John Powell takes the next crack at it."[20] James Southall ofMovie Wave wrote "There hasn’t been a bad score in this franchise so far – but I don’t think there’s been one as good as this since the last one that Williams himself wrote."[21]
