Colin Trevorrow, director of "Jurassic World," the fourth installment of the "Jurassic Park" franchise, said he felt a mixture of pressure and excitement, as the film is preparing to roar into Chinese cinemas on June 10.

Trevorrow and lead stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard were attending a press conference in Beijing to promote the film in the world's second largest film market.

Trevorrow, who also directed "Safety Not Guaranteed," said he had jokingly told executive producer Steven Spielberg, director of the first two "Jurassic Park" films, that if he messed up with film, he would "go home and disappear," but also said "Steven you are still a movie legend."

Trevorrow made his feature debut with 2012 Sundance hit "Safety Not Guaranteed," an indie comedy featuring Mark Duplass as an eccentric inventor who is seeking to travel back in time.

The director made big innovations shooting the new installment of the classic sci-fi franchise. In terms of technology, he asked to use motion capture special effect technology, which means people can play the dinosaurs and make the creatures’ expressions and movements more vivid.

Howard and Pratt also said the "Jurassic Park" franchise was their childhood memory and an inspiration for them as the magic of the movie. Pratt added he never thought he would be part of the movie series that he deemed an unforgettable classic.

A 3D release of the original 1993 hit, the first installment, grossed over 350 million yuan (US$57 mln) at box offices on the Chinese mainland in 2013.

"Jurassic World" will hit Chinese theaters on June 10, two days before its debut in the United States, as one of the very first markets to open the film in the world.
