Remember that Jurassic World sequel? they’re starting filming next year February and they’re heading back to Hawaii, the location that doubles as Isla Nublar in the movies.
However, they won’t be spending all that much time on the island itself because they want to change things up; states co-writer and director Colin Trevorrow;
“We made [Jurassic World] with the fans very much in mind. And I’m not going to forget that, but we’ve seen a lot of ‘dinosaurs chasing people around on an island’ movies. And I think you guys and the general audience are going to be down to explore where else we can go. Owen is going to be in it, Claire is in it and neither are going to be in the same place we left them in the first movie. And even though Claire is the one who evolves the most over the trilogy, it’s her story that mirrors this changing world. Owen has shit to deal with. They’ve both opened Pandora’s Box in Jurassic World and both of them are responsible for different elements of it. And I think the way these characters are connected to these circumstances of what’s happening, it’s different than previous films. It’s not ‘let’s manufacture a way to get them somewhere’, they’re embedded into it now in a way that us storytellers are able to keep them involved without it feeling contrived.”
Trevorrow has also hinted that they’re exploring the idea of open-source dinosaur creation in the sequel; so maybe we’ll have one of the characters return to the island to collect samples or whatnot. Or maybe even capture a few dinosaurs ala Jurassic Park 2.
Most of the production is going to film mainly in London this time but we don’t know how the story is going to go yet. At any rate, Chris Pratt and Brye Dallas Howard will be back for their roles. The movie is also going to be part of a trilogy so hold on to your hats.
Jurassic World 2 opens 22 June 2018.
