More dinosaurs are coming our way, whether we want them to or not! A new Jurassic World movie is in the works, though this time the writer of the original film and its direct sequel is coming back to pen the script.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that a new Jurassic World feature was in the works, with a script written by David Keopp, who wrote 1993’s Jurassic Park as well as 1997’s Jurassic Park: The Lost World. The story will reportedly launch a “new Jurassic era” at Universal Pictures, which suggests that neither the stars from the recent films—Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard—as well as the OG cast members—Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum—will be making any appearances.
Steven Spielberg is still involved as a producer via Amblin Entertainment, as is Frank Marshall, who produced the recent Jurassic World trilogy. Marshall, in fact, warned us that more dinos were coming our way.
“I think that Dominion‘s going to wrap up this trilogy, but we’re not resting on our laurels,” Marshall said in a January 2022 interview. “We’re going to sit down, and we’re going to see what the future is. We have that wonderful series, Camp Cretaceous, on Netflix. We obviously want to make quality, good movies with great storytelling, great writers and directors, but we’re definitely looking to do more in the Jurassic world.”
As Marshall predicted, no laurels, it seems, were sat on. There’s no director on board yet, much less a cast, though apparently the script is far enough along that folks over at Universal think a 2025 release date may happen. Whenever the movie comes out, it’s clear that dinosaurs will continue to rule the world for a while, at least if Universal has anything to say about it.
