David Koepp, the original writer of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park and The Lost World, is actively working on a new Jurassic World movie. Let’s take a look at the handful of details we have.
David Koepp is writing the new Jurassic World movie
Despite the mixed reviews of the last film in the franchise, Jurassic World Dominion, Koepp’s involvement has raised expectations for what is being touted as the beginning of a “new Jurassic age”.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of Koepp’s involvement, revealing that the film is in development with a potential release date of 2025. Although a director has not yet been officially named, Frank Marshall, one of the producers of the original Jurassic Park, is involved in the new venture.
As the project is still in its early stages, little is known about the plot or cast. However, the prospect of a “new Jurassic era” suggests a departure from the characters played by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard in recent films. Fans will recall that similar assumptions were made when Jurassic World was announced in 2015, but the movie brought back the original stars.
The decision to keep the name “Jurassic” suggests a connection to existing continuity, or at least a setting within the larger world established by the previous films. It is not yet clear whether the movie will take place within the confines of a park or explore the wider implications of dinosaurs coexisting with humans.
As the Jurassic World franchise takes a new direction under David Koepp’s guidance, questions arise about narrative possibilities and a potential return to the roots that made the original Jurassic Park a cinematic landmark. The announcement of the movie has some fans excited, while others fear that it’s going to be another dud.
