44 Comments Jurassic World Sequel Details Hinted at by Director "It will get to be a different kind of film." by Dan Auty on September 22, 2015 New details have emerged about the sequel to this summer's dinosaur smash Jurassic World. In an interview with the Jurassic Cast Podcast, Colin Trevorrow--director of Jurassic World and co-writer of the forthcoming sequel--spoke about the direction in which they were taking the second film. Trevorrow explained that like Jurassic World, the sequel would look back to dialogue from the original Jurassic Park for inspiration. "Jurassic World is all based on Ian Malcolm's quote," Trevorrow said, in reference to a line spoken by Jeff Goldblum's character in Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic. "It's, 'You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you knew what you had, you patented it, you packaged it, slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you want to sell it.' That to me is Jurassic World. That's why I had all the product placement, that's what it was." This time round, inspiration would come from something said by Sam Neill's palaeontologist character Alan Grant. "We tried to find, what is the foundation? 'Dinosaurs and man, separated by 65 million years of evolution have been thrown back into the mix together. How can we know what to expect?' "That's why it's exciting that the movie did well, that leaves us a lot of room to run," Treverrow continued. "It will get to be a different kind of film. The audience has given us permission to a certain extent to take this to the next level, and I don't necessarily mean in scale, I feel very strongly that it's not about more dinosaurs or bigger and better dinosaurs, it's about using this as a starting point for a much larger story about our relationship with these animals. "Jurassic World was very much made with the fans in mind, and I'm not going to forget it, but now we've seen a lot of 'dinosaurs chasing people around on an island' movies. I think you guys and also the general audience is going to be down to explore where else we can go." Last month, Trevorrow was announced as the director of Star Wars Episode 9, and won't be taking on directorial duties on the second Jurassic World, which is scheduled for a June 2018 release. However, he is writing the script with Derek Connolly, and will executively produce. Jurassic World is now the third most successful movie of all time, with a worldwide gross of £1.64 billion, as well only the fourth movie in history to cross the $1 billion mark purely on international ticket sales.
It's tough to make a good movie when all of the main characters are so unlikable. Still can't believe Lucasfilm hired Trevorrow for Episode IX.
Writing duties for IX haven't been confirmed yet. I think the most we get from Rian is a treatment. Either way, Trevorrow will have a big part in the script.
I have a 4 year old who is obsessed with dinosaurs. I've seen III probably a dozen times. It is not a good movie, but its not aggressively bad like World is.
It gets minimally better if instead of thinking of it as a movie about Jurassic Park, you think of it as a movie about the Jurassic Park movies. Minimally.
I mean, Alan Grant dreaming about a raptor talking to him on an airplane is pretty aggressively bad...
That's the thing, it had elements of a good story. 20 years later, the public's ever increasing demand for bigger and better. Those are interesting plot elements. But every time I was close to thinking they had something going they did something ridiculously retarded or cliche. That Honest Trailers clip was perfect.
All the writing the next Jurassic Park movie needs is "oh no, dinosaurs are loose in Boston and Moscow and Tokyo and Beirut" and each location follows some group trying to escape from each location, 45 minutes per story. You can even have specific dinosaurs reacting very well/very poorly in each location to give it 'legitimacy.' Anything more than that is masturbation if they insist on shoehorning in the things they do now
It's like instead of making a movie about the topic, they made a movie to parody what making an over the top summer action blockbuster about dinosaurs could be like. It was like one huge inside joke.
Summer before college started, I was at the first showing of JPIII in my hometown. I was stoked. Had my popcorn and soda. Lights dimmed, LETS DO THIS. Less than an hour later, I walked out of that abortion fuming mad. Haven't walked out of a movie since then.
JURASSIC WORLD 2 Finds Its Director We heard his name mentioned in connection with the gig back in January, and now it's been officially confirmed that J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, The Impossible) will take over from Colin Trevorrow to helm the follow up to Jurassic World.
It seems pretty hypocritical for there to be a sequel that will inevitably suck when they pretty much pretended the preceding sequels never happened. But who gives a shit about integrity when this is guaranteed to make over a hundred mil right?
Is that the T Rex from the last Transformers movie? Are Michael Bay and Spielberg doing a universe cross over?!?!?
Amazing fact. Michael Bay directed the first ever Got Milk? Commercial and it was about Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr's duel. The billions of awful offshoots of Got...? Is all Aaron Burr's fault. Funny how one VP shoots a guy in the ribs and he dies and another shoots someone in the face and nothing happens.
