"film makers won't prevent a good plot element to slip away"

How on earth would the barbasol can be a "good plot element"? If JP:TG didn't happen, the can is utterly useless now for anyone and deep under the jungle floor.

The ONLY purpose it could serve is the old JP fans to chuckle in nostalgia for 20 seconds while an actor is looking at the rusted thing and wondering why he wasted 10 minutes of his life to dig it up. The fact Trevorrow will not have Alan Grant, Ellie or Malcolm in the film shows that he WON'T include ANYTHING from the original films unless in really serves a purpose in the story.

Tell me, if Malcolm could not have a role in the story, why on earth would a rusted, dirty, old Barbasol can?
