That makes sense, and I was thinking that after I made post.

Exactly.

You just know he was groaning when the studio told him "oh, and get the T-Rex loose in San Diego somehow."

"Well, at least I can continue to explore the relationship between Ellie and Alan, right?"

So it sounds like they're continuing the "Jurassic" title (a no brainer), but rumor is they're moving on from the Park/World monikers in hopes of establishing a new/third trilogy (and making this thread title irrelevant)...

These are the six titles we've had so far…

- Jurassic Park
- The Lost World: Jurassic Park
- Jurassic Park III

- Jurassic World
- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
- Jurassic World: Dominion

And here are some of the titles I'm seeing unofficially batted around by fans (some worse than others)…

- Jurassic Chaos
- Jurassic Empire
- Jurassic Frontier
- Jurassic Kingdom
- Jurassic Realm
- Jurassic Universe

Any other ideas/guesses?

Again, this latest iteration isn't a reboot, but rather a continuation of the canon, wherein dinosaurs now roam free (at least I think that's how the last movie ended as I've already forgotten).

If I were putting this thing together, it would be something like Jurassic Kingdom and focusing on a group of researchers surviving in a part of the continent abandoned to the dinosaurs.

The Jurassic Park series was about human hubris in playing with nature. The Jurassic World series was some bull**** about hybrids and genetic editing or something. Set this series entirely in the dinosaurs' domain, make them the focus, and lower the human stakes.

Well put, and I like this general direction. I'm over the theme park setting and would love more of a survivalist type thing in the wild. I have no idea what the human goal/objective would be, but yeah, let's make the dinos the focus, on their turf, and see what happens.

Just remake other movies with a Jurassic theme.

Aliens: Jurassic Hunters - hunt and kill a genetically engineered dinosaur.

Many: Jurassic Man - court room drama trying to prove a dino/man hybrid has the rights of a man.

Ocean's 11: Jurassic Heist - heist movie too steal a competitors DNA code.


Terminator: Jurassic Future - a robot T Rex travels back to the past to kill Chris Pratt.


Kids movie: Jurassic Coat - a lady wants to skin 101 dinos for a new coat, only a group of kids can stop her.

I thought the last film was going to much more of a "dinosaurs are now just wild species roaming the country" and there was so much cool potential with that and building off the short they released. Then they somehow took dinosaurs and made them...boring? It took me two separate watches to get through the last film and I still couldn't summarize the plot for you.

The first movie is still absolutely epic, but at this point I just don't care about the franchise after so many underwhelming takes. And I wish I did.

Yeah, to squander the dinosaurs-in-the-real-world conceit in the way they did was insane. Instead, in the second half of the movie, I remember some kind of evil dinosaur reserve in a foreign country, and a giant, manufactured locus plague??? But I can't recall a single action scene, or what any dinosaur did in that movie. And again, for the life of me, I couldn't tell you how it ended either. I just assume dinosaurs are still out there in the wild, roaming the earth?

All the dinosaurs made friends with wild animals. Including 2 humpback whales with the mosasaurus. Even though 6 million years of instinct would have had those whales in that mobsters belly in 5 seconds.

I remember enjoying the way they took Jurassic Park and totally amped up the Disney World factor 10x and called the damn movie "Jurassic World". They did some nice stuff with that. But they didn't really take that aspect along for the ride with those sequels. We have decades and decades of real world and fictional resort/theme park/zoo/etc stories, with mega corporations and startups and what have you. They have found the drama in it. Maybe some of these things have a new angle with dinos.

Like anything fits there. Tiger King. Disney Behind the Attraction. Cruise Ship documentaries. Matt Damon built a zoo. Madagascar. Casino. Boardwalk Empire. Hell the show about kids camping at Jurassic Park was watchable. My kids liked it.

So maybe there's still hope for what I wanted out of the last movie (and absolutely did not get).

Dinosaur eats man. Woman inherits the earth, eh, wait, dinosaur eats woman also. Dinosaur re-inherits the earth. Only instead of being portrayed in a single movie, this can be a series of movies much like the original Planet of the Apes.

Winner!

"Reboot" in the sense that it'll be an all new story/cast, NOT that they're remaking the first movie or anything along those lines. Again, the first six movies will still be canon...

Mark your calendar for Wednesday July 2, 2025 for the new ‘Jurassic World’ movie, which is a reboot https://t.co/FGL1SG5ngS

New 'Jurassic World' Movie Gets 2025 Release Date, David Leitch in Talks to Direct https://t.co/5Du0nsB6np

— Variety (@Variety) February 5, 2024

David Leitch is in talks to direct the new #JurassicWorld movie

• OG #JurassicPark writer David Koepp is returning to pen the script

• It features an all-new storyline

Yay?

David Leitch gives me hope, his track record as an action director and producer is pretty stellar.

So no director, no script, no cast but a release date in 17 months. I'm sure it will be Oscar worthy and not shameless cash grab.

"In talks" is trade speak for "committed, just ironing out the details of the contract." It's extremely rare for someone who is "in talks" to either back out of or not get the job. It means it's basically a done deal, it just hasn't been officially announced by the studio yet.

For whatever reason, trades also always speak in the present. Even though Koepp's script is basically done, and he's been working for months, Koepp is still technically/currently engaged in the act of returning. It's the same thing when an actor is announced for a role, and is either currently filming or they've already filmed, but we're just now learning about it. "[Actor] is set to play..."

In short, by the time any of this news gets to us, a massive amount has already happened behind the scenes. Specifically, in this instance, again, Koepp has been writing for months, Leitch has read the script, and has already had multiple conversations with not only Universal, but Spielberg as well. All in addition to whatever other prep/storyboards/etc can be done.

Oof. The original JP is my favorite movie, but you are right. I dont even know which one I would put second place, they are all that bad.

Lost World has its moments and Pete Postlethwaite is pretty great, outside that I'd go maybe the first Jurassic World then...all the rest at the end?

I really enjoyed the first JW. It paid homage to the original and for the first time since the first film they were back on Isla Nublar. For me it edges out The Lost World as #2 on my list.

But JP3 and the final two JW installments were disappointing. The only redeeming value was the original cast in the last one and Grant returning in JP3 - but they were a major step down from JW and The Lost World, which were of course not as good as Jurassic Park. They were just overthinking it.
