In some absolutely fantastic news, it’s been announced that Jeff Goldblum will reprise his role of Dr. Ian Malcolm for the Jurassic World sequel. Malcolm outwitted those hungry, prehistoric sons of bitches in both the original and GOAT Jurassic Park in 1993 and the first sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997. Now our favorite chest-baring, wisecracking doctor is back because as he thought us 24 years ago, “life finds a way.”
Here’s the Hollywood Reporter with more details on who will be involved in the Jurassic World sequel.
J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) is directing the next installment in the studio’s hit franchise. Jurassic World earned $1.67 billion worldwide in 2015 and is the fourth-highest-grossing film in history.
Stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are returning for the sequel, which also stars Justice Smith, James Cromwell and Toby Jones. Colin Trevorrow, who directed Jurassic World, wrote the script for the follow-up with Derek Connolly. The film is slated for release on June 22, 2018.
Producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley once again join executive producers Steven Spielberg and Trevorrow in the next chapter of the franchise. Belén Atienza is also producing. Universal vp production Sara Scott is overseeing production on behalf of the studio.
All of these developments are music to my ears, as it definitely seems like we will be blessed with another highly entertaining chapter in this beloved franchise. Let’s celebrate our good fortune with some of Dr. Ian Malcom’s greatest hits.
