Jurassic World sequel announced

“Jurassic World” is getting a sequel, according to film studio Universal Pictures. The news was revealed after the fourth film in the dinosaur franchise made $1.5 billion around the world. The sequel will be released in June 2018.

“Jurassic World”, which rebooted Steven Spielberg's “Jurassic Park” in June, has become the third highest-grossing film in history behind James Cameron's “Titanic” and “Avatar”. It made more profit than expected, to achieve the largest opening weekend in movie history with $524m at the global box office.

The sequel will see Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return, along with Spielberg as executive producer and “Jurassic World” director Colin Trevorrow writing the script.

An official title for the sequel and a director are yet to be announced.

The three original “Jurassic Park” films were the 1993 original, “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” from 1997 and 2001's “Jurassic Park III”.
