Jurassic Park 4 Coming in 2015, New Updates!

Finally we have some good news for fans who can not wait to revisit the Jurassic Park. We have casting news, an official release date and lots of speculation on the plot.

Many of you will recall that the online buzz for Jurassic Park 4 started right after the studio Universal released Jurassic Park 3D onto Bluray and into theaters. Frankly this move was pure marketing genius.

What better way to see if there is interest in a 4th Jurassic Park film than to release the original Jurassic Park in 3D. Universal did not half ass the Jurassic Park 3D redo they had 700 artists work on it for over 6 months on a budget of $10million. The results? Universal brought in $46million at the box office for their efforts and reconnected with their old audience and built a new one with younger generations.

I am sure thanks to the success of Jurassic Park 3D, Jurassic Park 4 is finally slated for a 2015 release date in both 3D and 2D. It has also been confirmed that Jurassic Park 3D will be shot in 3D and not converted afterwards which is good news for fans who love 3D but are tired of the half ass post conversion efforts that are giving 3D a bad name.

There was some controversy last month when crew members took to twitter and announced Jurassic Park 4 was dead in the water over creative differences but fortunately that is not true.

In response to the crew chatting on Twitter Universal told Deadline,

In coordination with filmmakers, Universal has decided to release Jurassic Park 4 at a later date giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal’s beloved franchise.

We could not be more excited about the vision that Colin Trevorrow has created for this film, and we look forward to watching as he and the producers create another great chapter in this franchise’s storied history.

I for one see NOTHING wrong with Universal putting more time on the clock to make a great movie. Much better then rushing out a horrendous remake / prequel / reboot. We can all point to many of those.

The plot for Jurassic Park 4 is still very much a secret but there is plenty of speculation with the leading theory being that it will be a prequel story or a new story that directly follows the past films. This whole idea as confirmed by Sam Neil when he spoke to Stuffco and told them quote;

As well as confirming that he is unlikely to be a part of next year’s Jurassic Park 4 (“I’m told it’s a big reboot, a total re-jig”), Neill confesses he hasn’t seen the new [3D re-release] version of the original [‘Jurassic Park’].

As far as who will be in Jurassic Park 4 the online rumors are indicating Bryce Dallas Howard from Terminator Salvation is slated to star in the lead role.
