2 Oct
Summary
- J.A. Bayona is frontrunner to direct next Jurassic World film.
- Gareth Edwards departed the project citing creative differences.
- Previous film 'Rebirth' earned $869 million globally.
J.A. Bayona, known for "Society of Snow," is reportedly the frontrunner to helm the next "Jurassic World" movie for Universal. This follows the departure of Gareth Edwards, the director of "Rogue One," who left the project over creative disagreements.
The previous film, "Rebirth," which was fast-tracked into production after a positive reception to its script by David Koepp, achieved significant commercial success by earning $869 million globally last year. The script for the sequel is already finished, and key cast members Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey are anticipated to reprise their roles.
The "Jurassic" franchise has a history of evolving with different directors and actors, having featured five distinct core groups across its seven films. The consistent element has been the creation of wonder and terror associated with dinosaurs in the modern world. This foundational appeal is expected to continue sustaining the series, maintaining its core promise to audiences.
