What do you get when you combine “Jurassic Park” and “The Lost World”? “Jurassic World”, of course! Often referred to as “Jurassic Park IV”, the latest installment in the “Jurassic Park” franchise now has a title and a new release date, according to the Jurassic Park Facebook.
Moved from its June 2014 date, the dino thriller will now hit theaters Friday, June 12, 2015. With Steven Spielberg as executive producer, I have high expectations. Colin Trevorrow (“Safety Not Guaranteed”) is directing, with Frank Marshall as one of the producers.
But with a title like “Jurassic World”, what does that imply? That dinosaurs will truly roam the earth? I had heard originally that there would be a return to the theme park concept introduced in the first (and best!) film, but firm plot details remain to be seen.
What we do know is that “Pirates of the Caribbean V” has been pushed out of the 2015 calendar, but the juggernaut known as “Star Wars Episode VII” is still slated for a 2015 release.
So, hold onto your butts. 2015 will be an interesting year for film.
