Production on Jurassic World, the newest entry in the famed Jurassic Park series, has been well underway for awhile now. While the studios behind the film (Amberlin Entertainment, Legendary Pictures, and Universal Pictures) are confident in the film, they’re also cautious about planning an entirely new trilogy around the film. Still, the prospect of creating film sequels in Hollywood is much more likely in modern times than they were back when the original Jurassic Park was released in in 1993.
Director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) recently spoke to Empire and shared his views on any potential sequels to his film:
“We definitely talked about [sequels] a lot,” the director/co-writer revealed. “We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic, and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story.”
Trevorrow goes into further details, such as possibly hinting at who would appear in the aforementioned sequels. We already know that the film will star Chris Pratt in a lead role alongside Bryce Dallas Howard with Jake Johnson also appearing. The director also confirmed the use of animatronic dinosaurs, which will help create a more believable scare than any CGI dinosaur would.
Are you excited for more Jurassic Park/World films? As somebody who’s very cynical about Hollywood films milking preexisting franchises, I’m all on board for more dinosaur action. We’ll have more on Jurassic World and any future sequels as more information becomes available.
