The fourth movie in the Jurassic Park series is slated to terrorize movie screens a full year from now. In order to drum up some excitement for Jurassic World, then, Universal has created this tiny trailer to advertise yet another trailer for the upcoming blockbuster.

The new trailer for a trailer shows very little, with some dinosaurs, a bubble car, an inquisitive Bryce Dallas Howard, and megastar Chris Pratt looking determined. Check it out.

“The Park. Is Open,” read the interstitial titles, placed between shots of the park and actor reaction shots and under a beautifully minimal piano arrangement of the first film’s theme song. It’s evocative, sure, but also fairly thin on details.

To see a full trailer, you’ll have to watch NBC football on Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S., or just wait for the inevitable YouTube posting sometime thereafter.

The original film Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg, came out to rave reviews and box office success in 1993, becoming the highest grossing film ever until Titanic. It also spawned two sequels before the upcoming Jurassic World.

There’s a countdown to the first longer trailer at the Jurassic World website, along with some fun lore from the Jurassic Park cinematic universe.
