Since his sci-fi indie debut, Safety Not Guaranteed, Colin Trevorrow’s name has been rumoured for everything from Star Wars VII to a remake of Flight Of The Navigator, but now he’s landed a major gig, as Universal has announced (via Deadline) that he will helm the long-gestating Jurassic Park IV, which is currently set for release on June 13th, 2014.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are on screenplay duties, but no story details have been released at this time. Frank Marshall is producing alongside Patrick Crowley, with original Jurassic Park director Steven Spielberg serving as an executive producer.
And as you would expect nowadays, the movie will be shot in 3D.
The first three movies Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and Jurassic Park III, have grossed over $2 billion worldwide. The original Jurassic Park will be re-released in theaters with an all new 3D conversion on April 5.
Let’s just hope it’s better than Jurassic Park III. Recent rumours have suggested the movie will shoot this summer in Louisiana.
