Universal Pictures is officially bringing back originalJurassic Parkstars Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum forJurassic World 3, who will star alongside Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
OriginalJurassic Worlddirector Colin Trevorrow returns to direct a script he wrote with Emily Carmichael (Pacific Rim Uprising,The Black Hole). The story comes from Derek Connolly and Trevorrow, both of which who co-wroteJurassic WorldandJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Steven Spielberg and Trevorrow are back executive producing this new film as well.
During a fan screening of the 8-minuteJurassic World short film: Battle at Big Rock, actress Laura Dern herself revealed the news that she was returning to the franchise. Dern, Neill and Goldblum haven’t been seen together in their original roles sinceJurassic Parkin 1993 which spawned a worldwide franchise that continues today, 25 years later. Jeff Goldblum reprised his role as Ian Malcolm in 1997’sThe Lost World: Jurassic Parkand 2018’sJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, while Laura Dern’s Dr. Ellie Sattler and Sam Neill’s Dr. Alan Grant were last seen in 2001’sJurassic Park III.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdomended with the dinosaurs getting off the island and heading for civilization, and after experiencing what we saw inBattle at Big Rock, it makes sense that’s whereJurassic World 3will pick up. TheBattle at Big Rockshort takes place one year after the events of the lastJurassic Worldfilm in Big Rock National Park, where dinosaurs are now living in our world. The story follows a family of four whose encounter with these wild animals becomes a terrifying fight for survival.
With such a dire world-threatening situation that civilization has now been thrust into, it makes sense they would rally the support of the originalJurassic Parkdino crisis team. Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are back into the mix to help figure out how to solve this disaster. Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) won’t be saving the world by themselves this time.
TheJurassic Park franchisecelebrated its 25th anniversary last year and has grossed more than $5 billion collectively at the worldwide box office.Jurassic World 3will cause a global impact tremor in theaters on July 30, 2025.
