Universal Pictures, owned by Comcast’s NBCUniversal, announced Tuesday, Sept.
10, that the fourth installment of the Jurassic
Park series will be released Friday, June 12, 2015. The movie will be
titled Jurassic World and will be
filmed in 3-D.
This soon to be summer blockbuster will be produced by
Steven Spielberg, director of the first two films: Jurassic Park (1993) and The
Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). Universal Pictures also announced the
director of this film will be Colin Trevorrow, director of Safety Not Guaranteed. No cast members or plot have been made
public yet, although there are some speculations as to what may happen.
The reason Jurassic
Park was such a big hit is because, at the time, not many movies had extravagant
special effects. The sequels gradually decreased in ratings because there was
nothing new and exciting for viewers to awe at. With movies like Avatar (2009) and Inception (2010), the bar has been dramatically raised for special
effects in the movie industry. In order for Jurassic
World to be a hit and not a miss, it needs to utilize multiple technologies
available for movies today, not just 3-D, and it needs to have a plot that’s
worth seeing more than once.
It has been 12 years since the release of Jurassic Park III (2001) and by the time
Jurassic World is set to release, it
will have been 22 years since the original movie Jurassic Park. One can only hope that with this amount of time in
between films, they will do it up right.
Coming soon: Jurassic
World, Friday, June 12, 2015
