Hey, dino fans! Exciting news from Universal Pictures is on the horizon. As you might know, the next entry in the riveting Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchise has been announced, with the title “Jurassic World Rebirth”. Let’s dive straight into what we know so far.
Key Takeaways:
– The “Rebirth” is set for a 2025 theatrical release, with the screenplay already done.
– The original Jurassic Park scriptwriter, David Koepp, has returned to tell this story.
– Renowned director, Gareth Edwards, is at the helm of this project.
– A stellar cast, not featuring any previous characters, has been confirmed for the movie.
– The movie started filming in June in different exotic locations.
The Story
Here’s the thing; the plot seems more astounding this time. The new story, written by the original Jurassic Park genius David Koepp, starts five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion. Dinosaurs are struggling to survive in the planet’s harsh ecology, clinging to isolated tropical environments reminiscent of their original habitats. The plot revolves around three massive creatures, key to a miraculous life-saving drug. An adventure-seeking team is set to secure DNA samples from these colossal creatures. Sounds fun, right?
The Studio Factor
Now, onto the technicalities. To maintain authenticity about dinosaur behavior, Universal has roped in paleontologist Steve Brusatte, who was also part of the previous movie. Although it’s unclear whether the veteran paleontologist Jack Horner is on board this time, we can be assured of stellar dino action.
Meet the Director
When it came to choosing the movie’s director, Universal turned to a name familiar with blockbusters and giant creatures – Gareth Edwards. Known for films like Godzilla, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Edwards was brought in after Fast & Furious’ David Leitch stepped away due to creative differences.
The Starry Cast
Sorry guys, but your favorite actors like Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Chris Pratt, or Bryce Dallas Howard are not returning in Rebirth. The good news is that an amazing new cast is ready to take the franchise forward. Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo are among the talented actors who accepted the offer to join the Jurassic World saga.
Characters in Spotlight
Ready to meet the new characters? Johansson is all set to play a covert operations expert, Zora Bennett, while Ali will be seen as Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s trusted team leader. The rest of the cast, including Bailey, Friend, Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Philippine Velge, and Ed Skrein, will play their unique roles in this extraordinary story.
Production Details
Filming began in June in Thailand’s beautiful locales, and later moved to studios in Malta and the U.K. By plunging a whopping $18 million into the local economy, the production became a huge boon to Thailand. The movie will be produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, with Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart, and Jim Spencer serving as executive producers.
From what we know, the movie is set to steer the Jurassic franchise into a fresh direction, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store. Stay tuned for more updates on your favorite dino adventure. Until then, adios amigos!
Remember Jeff Goldblum’s advice to Johansson: “Don’t get eaten, unless you want to. I love you.” Get your popcorn ready for another wild ride in “Jurassic World Rebirth”.
