Last we heard from Jurassic Park 4, Rise of the Planet of the Apes writers Rick Jaffa and Kathleen Kennedy had been hired to draft a script. Not a bad choice — I mean the leap from “killer CGI apes” to “killer CGI lizards” really isn’t that wide.
So, how’s production been going since then? Pretty well it seems, as producer Frank Marshall recently revealed that the plan is to have Jurassic Park 4 in theatres by the summer of 2014.
Jurassic Park 4 will have plenty of competition on it’s hands — there’s already a ton of stuff like Captain America 2, X-Men First Class 2, Guardians of the Galaxy and a new Hunger Games movie slated for summer of 2014, but come on, Jurassic Park will have dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are awesome. All those other movies oughta be afraid of Jurassic Park, not the other way around.
Marshall also confirmed that the movie is definitely going to be a sequel, as opposed to a reboot/remake. I don’t know about you, but I’m just going to go ahead and take that as confirmation that the movie will star Jeff Goldblum. Yeah, Jurassic Park 4: Chaos Theory — find a way Spielberg.

I don’t think I’ll hold my breath on this one considering the lack luster sequels that followed the first film.
I liked the 2nd one a lot.
I enjoyed #2 as well. #3 still has dinosaurs and as such I can still watch it even though in the back of my head I know it’s not very good.

Until X-Men:First Class 2 goes to the Savage Land! Mutants AND dinos!
X-Men: First Class travel to the Savage Land to fight Mr. Sinister? I would actually like that movie. As long as they keep January Jones and Kevin Bacon far from the movie I’ll be happy.
Well, at least it’s not a remake. I thought that maybe I was too nostalgic about the original, but I watched it the other weekend, and it holds up pretty well.
Weird 90s fashion and crazy outdated computers aside, of course.
In honor of the original everyone in Jurassic Park 4 should be required to wear high-waisted pleated khakis at all times.
Bonus points for suit jacket and tie with pleated khaki shorts.
I just hope they don’t make the T-Rex a pussy again like that did in the third one.
Yeah, let’s hope they pretty much don’t do anything they did in the third one again.
@Nathan Birch:
Even if Speilberg doesn’t find a way.
Life will find a way.
Anyone ever notice that the T-Rex from the first movie can fly? I mean, we discover that there’s a giant cliff on the other side of the T-Rex pen once Dr. Grant and Lex are dangling for there lives. Wasn’t that just where the Rex was standing before it broke out?
Movie magic!
