Well here’s hoping this isn’t a Tyrannosaurus Wreck! (I’ll be here all night, folks.) It’s being reported that the world’s favorite movie about dinosaurs ever (I don’t care what you Land Before Time fans say; Little Foot was such a wimp.) has confirmed itself a set of scribes to get the script rolling on the sequel.
Universal has officially tapped two writers to helm the script on Jurassic Park 4; Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (who previously wrote Rise of the Planet of the Apes together. The movie will (of course) be produced by Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, however it is being reported that Spielberg won’t direct this one as he did the others. Either way it sounds totally Juras-sick (here we go again) and no doubt fans of the first three films will be waiting velocirapturously (too much?) for more news!
A quick request, though: obviously Sam Neill needs to come back (there is no Jurassic Park without Dr. Alan Grant), but if there’s any way to get Jeff Goldblum back in this thing as well, that would be damn-near evolutionary (yep, I’m just going to keep doing this) and totally the tricera-tops! (sorry I’m not sorry).
If you can’t wait for your dino-fix, have no fear: the 3D version of the original film is slated to hit theaters on July 19th, 2013.
