Ever since the release of Jurassic Park III in 2001, there’s been talk of a Part IV. Over the years the likelihood of more rampaging dinos has risen and sunk, with much of the problem stemming from finding a worthwhile story. However it seems there’s been a breakthrough, as Universal Pictures has set a June 13th, 2014 release date and confirmed that it will be shot in 3D.
Steven Spielberg won’t direct this one, but he is producing. He’s been keen on getting the franchise up and running again, pushing it harder ever since 2010 when he met with Thor screenwriter Mark Protosevich to brainstorm ideas for the movie.
Then last June Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) were hired to write the screenplay. No story details have been released, but it’s fair to assume there’ll be dinosaurs and people running from them.
To help prepare us, Universal will release the original Jurassic Park post-converted into 3D on April 5th. (Source: Deadline)
