Jurassic World 2 is a 2018 monster movie directed by J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls; The Orphanage) from a screenplay co-written with Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) and Derek Connolly (Monster Trucks).
The Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment film is currently in pre-production with principal photography set to begin in February 2017 in Hawaii and London.
The film’s budget has been rumoured to be $260 million, considerably more than the Jurassic World‘s $150 million dollar budget.
Bayona has commented: “…what we’re doing is a sequel to Jurassic World, but it’s definitely the fifth chapter of a longer saga. It’s very interesting. It’s always tricky, but you need to find a balance in what people expect to find, and the new stuff you’re bringing to the story. And I think the story is looking for a connection between Jurassic World and Jurassic Park — more than what Jurassic World did.”
Main cast:
Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Toby Jones (Morgan; Berberian Sound Studio; The Mist), Rafe Spall (The Ritual; The World’s End; Shaun of the Dead), BD Wong, Justice Smith.
