Colin Trevorrowhad dished the first details on what to expect fromJurassic World 3. WhileJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which just released its action-packed and very telling final trailer, hasn’t even hit theaters yet, Universal has already announced their plans to make one more movie to round out this new trilogy. Trevorrow, who directed 2015’sJurassic World, returns to the director’s chair for the final installment and has revealed a little bit of what the movie will look and feel like, without giving away too much.
The filmmaker discussedJurassic World 3in anticipation of the release of the finalJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomtrailer. While he didn’t direct the upcoming movie, instead allowing for J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) to come in and put his stamp on the franchise, Colin Trevorrow did co-write the script with Derek Connolly and serves as an executive producer. When asked about hisplans for the third installment, he revealed that he hopes to make a little bit more like the originalJurassic Park, in a sense. Here’s what he had to say.
“If I could contextualize each film, I would say Jurassic World was an action adventure, Fallen Kingdom is kind of a horror suspense film, and Jurassic World 3 will be a science thriller in the same way that Jurassic Park was.”
Steven Spielberg, who directed the firstJurassic Park, has served as an executive producer on the more recent movies. He revealed recently that Colin Trevorrow would be returning to helmJurassic World 3. As it turns out, according to Trevorrow, it was actually Spielberg who asked him to do it.
“Steven Spielberg asked me [to direct], and when he asks you, what can I tell you, man? In all honesty, over my past few years, I’ve grown to love and cherish the value of the gift that I’ve been given with this franchise.”
Colin Trevorrow did confirm that both Christ Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will return asOwen Grady and Claire Dearingrespectively inJurassic World 3. He does add, however, that “there’s other characterswho we’ll meet in Fallen Kingdom you’ll realize are major characters.” So it sounds like some of the characters we meet in this upcoming movie will return. Let’s just hope Laura Dern gets the chance to return as Ellie Sattler alongside Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm. Maybe we can get Sam Neill thrown in there as Alan Grant to complete the trio?
Emily Carmichael (Pacific Rim: Uprising) has been tapped to co-writeJurassic World 3with Colin Trevorrow. Universal Pictures hasset a release date for August 04, 2025, for what will presumably be the final installment of the franchise. Then again, if these next two movies get anywhere near the $1.67 billion thatJurassic Worldmanaged at the box office, it’s entirely possible that they could find a way for things to continue, if only to cash in.
