New Special Reveals Groundbreaking Dinosaur Theory

Atlantic Productions has worked with partners including Discovery Channel and FremantleEnterprises Media to produce a new two-hour special on a groundbreaking new dinosaur theory. Dino Gangs follows world renowned dinosaur expert Dr Phil Currie, on his quest to prove his groundbreaking theory that tyrannosaur dinosaurs lived and hunted in gangs.

The film uses cutting edge technology, and brand new science to follow Dr Currie from the dinosaur graveyards of the Gobi Desert to the wilds of the African Kalahari, looking to answer the ultimate question about tyrannosaur dinosaurs and reveal extraordinary insights into a world that vanished more than 65 million years ago – a world in which the tyrannosaurs were king. This is brought to life through the use of stunning CGI created by the award-winning visual effects studio ZOO.

Dr Currie has long believed that tyrannosaurs were cooperative pack animals, and he now has further evidence to support the theory. Throughout the film, he enlists revolutionary technology to analyse tyrannosaur fossils and CT scans of the tyrannosaur skull to discover how they developed, reveal how big their brains were, and whether they really did have the intelligence and finely tuned senses to hunt in organised packs.

The film is accompanied by a major new book, Dino Gangs: Dr Philip J Currie’s New Science of Dinosaurs, written by best-selling author Josh Young and published by Harper Collins later this month.
