While there is currently no director named for the project, Frank Marshall, the seasoned and acclaimed producer who supervised the Jurassic World trilogy, is returning as a producer. Patrick Crowley, another experienced hand from the Jurassic franchise, is also on board. Additionally, Steven Spielberg will serve as an executive producer through his Amblin Entertainment banner.
Insider sources indicate the initiation of a “new Jurassic era” with a fresh storyline. This development suggests that the return of characters portrayed by Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard is unlikely. Furthermore, it appears that characters from the original Jurassic Park films, including Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, will not be part of the upcoming project.
The Jurassic franchise stands as a pivotal gem in Universal’s cinematic legacy, notably marked by the 1993 inaugural film that revolutionized special effects and left an enduring imprint on popular culture. Over three decades, six movies have been crafted, collectively amassing a staggering $6 billion in global revenue. The inception of the franchise can be traced back to the adaptation of Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel, with the original Jurassic Park serving as a groundbreaking cinematic achievement.
