"Jurassic Park 4" has received an official title and release date.
According to Variety, Universal will change the name "Jurassic Park 4" to "Jurassic World" and will release the film on June 12, 2015.
The film will be directed by Colin Trevorrow from a script he co-wrote with "Safety Not Guaranteed" scribe Derek Connolly. The studio has yet to announce plot details but Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley will produce.
"Jurassic World" has been postponed and delayed for a number of years. In May, Universal postponed production on the project in order for Trevorrow and Connolly to take a pass at an original draft by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Executive producer Steven Spielberg helped the director by giving him notes for the film.
The inclusion of "Jurassic World" in 2015 makes for an even more crowded summer that year. Several tentpole films, including "Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Batman vs. Superman," "Star Wars Episode VII," "Ant-Man," "Assassin's Creed," "Terminator" and "Independence Day 2" are all slated for release.
The film's script has now been turned in to Universal; casting is currently underway. Universal has been eyeing Bryce Dallas Howard, David Oyelowo and Garrett Hedlund to star and sources say that the studio will soon offer the actors roles.
The "Jurassic Park" series is one of the most successful franchises ever created. The first "Jurassic Park" was released in 1993 and became an instant classic. The following film was released in 1997 and the third film launched in 2001. However, neither of the sequels was able to garner the same attention as the first film.
