JURASSIC WORLD Director Confirms Film Will Be "Sci-Terror" Sequel; Not Reboot

 

Things are gearing up for the sequel to one of the most endearing film franchises of all time. On Twitter earlier today, director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) addressed rumors that the forthcoming film will be a reboot, and also gave a hint as to the film's tone.

Reboot is a strong word. This is a new sci-fi terror adventure set 22 years after the horrific events of Jurassic Park.

Jurassic World, directed by Colin Trevorrow, opens June 21, 2015 and stars Ty Simpkins (Iron Man 3), Nick Robinson (The Kings of Summer), and on the rumor-mill are the heavily speculated Bryce Dallas Howard (Lady in the Water), Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy), Irrfan Kahn (The Amazing Spider-Man), David Oyelowo (Jack Reacher), and Jake Johnson (Safety Not Guaranteed) off of a script by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes).
