New 'Jurassic World' Film in Development, David Koepp to Write Screenplay
Set to launch a new era for the franchise, the film is part of Universal Pictures' strategy to continue its financially successful series despite mixed reviews.
- Universal Pictures is developing a new movie in the 'Jurassic World' franchise, with David Koepp, who penned the script for the original 'Jurassic Park', writing the screenplay.
- The new film is expected to launch the next 'era' for the franchise, implying a shift away from characters like Chris Pratt's Owen Grady and Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire Dearing.
- The 'Jurassic World' trilogy has been financially successful, pulling in a combined $4 billion at the global box office.
- Universal Pictures is planning a 2025 release date for the new film.
- Despite negative reviews for the most recent film in the franchise, 'Jurassic World Dominion', the franchise's financial success and Universal's lack of other live-action franchises make the decision to continue the series a 'no-brainer'.
