‘Jurassic Park 4’ Assigned New Title and Release Date

Posted byBy A Moore | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Universal Pictures announced on Tuesday that “Jurassic Park 4“ will be officially titled, “Jurassic World” and the project will be released theatrically in 3-D on June 12, 2015.

Although details about the film’s plot remain elusive, it has been reported that the story takes place 14 years after the last installment, “Jurassic Park 3,” and 22 years after the original in 1993. The film will reportedly take place on Isla Nublar, the island where the original Jurassic Park was set.

Executive producer Steven Spielberg directed the first two films, but will not direct the fourth installment. Colin Trevorrow is set to direct the project with a script from his “Safety Not Guaranteed” writer Derek Connolly.

Original stars Richard Attenborough and Jeff Goldblum are rumored to be reprising their roles as John Hammond and Dr. Ian Malcolm, but this has not been confirmed by Universal.

Jurassic Park 4 had originally been set to begin shooting in July of this year, but it was postponed to allow Trevorrow and Connolly to rework the script and to give Spielberg enough time to give notes on the revised script, according to Variety.

The 2015 summer release date puts Jurassic World in competition with several other big blockbuster sequels and franchises including, “The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Star Wars: Episode VII,”” the Man of Steel” sequel, and “Independence Day 2.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
