Life finds a way – and so do the filmmakers of Jurassic Park.
Movie fans have been given a Christmas present two months late, as production bosses announced the Jurassic Park series will be getting another reboot and it’ll be coming in 18 months.
On their social media channels, they announced a new reboot of the beloved dinosaur series will be coming back with a new era. It comes after the Jurassic World trilogy, which was set decades after the first three, came to an end in 2022.
There have been six movies in the franchise so far, which is good going considering author Michael Crichton only wrote two books.
The first flick came out in 1993, followed by its sequel four years later. It wasn’t until 2001 when Jurassic Park III came out, which some fans have argued didn’t compete with the rest of the films.
Then 15 years later, we met new protagonists Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, as Ingen – temporarily – learned from their mistakes with a new park Jurassic World. That reboot also had three movies, with the original stars coming back for the third and final flick, Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum.
However, the new instalment will be a fresh storyline and reports say none of the previous actors will return.
Universal’s executive VP of production development, Sara Scott, and creative executive of product development Jacqueline Garrell will oversee the movie.
Director David Leitch, known for his work on Bullet Train, is apparently in talks to be behind the new film for the studio. The untitled project is set to be released on July 2, 205.
The original screenwriter of the first two movies, Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, David Koepp, will write the script for the film. He has also penned other blockbusters, such as Mission: Impossible, Death Becomes Her, Spider-Man, War of the Worlds and Panic Room.
It will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Entertainment. Furthermore, Frank Marshall, Patrick Crowley and David Leitch and Kelly McCormick will produce through 87 North.
Leitch has also directed huge hits such as John Wick, Deadpool 2, Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbes & Shaw, Atomic Blonde, as well as The Fall Guy.
