Earlier this year, the long gestating Jurassic Park 4 was delayed from a 2014 release, reportedly because Universal and the filmmakers felt there wasn’t enough time left to get it right – even though they were already scouting locations. Now it’s moving forward again with the announcement that the official title of Jurassic Park 4 is Jurassic World.
It will be released on Friday, June 12, 2015 in 3D.
No official story details have been announced at this time, but the plot is rumored to take place at the site of the original Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, which has been turned into an amusement park, as first envisioned by Richard Attenborough’s John Hammond. There, Dinosaur trainers run a Sea World type Isla Nublar Lagoon, which will include underwater dinosaurs (not just land-one swimming) for the first time in the franchise’s history. The film will also apparently include a never-before-seen dinosaur that will rival the T-Rex in terror.
Steven Spielberg will return to produce this long-awaited next instalment, with Colin Trevorrow directing from a screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly.
Hot on the heels of the title announcement, ShockTilYouDrop posted a video which appears to be a pitch trailer for Jurassic World. It’s not been officially confirmed whether it is, although Trevorrow has cryptically suggested in Twitter that it is. Take a look below.
