Just a year and a half after the Jurassic World trilogy came to an end, another Jurassic movie is already in the works, set to be released in 2025.
According to Deadline, the new film will be a “completely fresh take” on the franchise, though we’re guessing the underlying plot will still be, Oh no! Another set of scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should! We get it.
The new films will bring back David Koepp, the screenwriter responsible for the original Jurassic Park and its 1997 sequel, and an all-new cast. That means neither Jurassic World cast members Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard nor Jurassic Park stars Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum or Sam Neill are expected to return.
The only person who will return is Steven Spielberg as the film’s executive producer. After his last project, The Color Purple, was snubbed at the Oscars, perhaps he’s wanting to return to something he knows will work.
To us, this feels like yet another example of the Hollywood formula of taking beloved box office hits and putting out so many sequels that eventually no one cares anymore. (We’re looking at you, Fast & Furious.) Hey, maybe they’ll wrap a dinosaur in tin foil and launch it into space like Ludacris.
