Is 22 years really so long? In a promotional video for Jurassic World, fictional genetics company InGen invites us to take a step into tomorrow, as they've apparently progressed lightyears into the future with their research. Dr. Henry Wu (B.D. Wong) features prominently in the almost Apple-esque video, as he and his team explain that the days of relying on frog DNA to sequence a dinosaur's genome are long behind them. Of course, we all know things go very, very wrong, and genetically engineering dinosaurs is probably always a bad idea. Jurassic World hits theaters on June 12th.
