Glimpse at JURASSIC PARK 4 Logo; 2015 Release Confirmed, Director Says Project Is "Very Much Alive"

At the LA Licensing Expo movie fans have seen pictures of banners and logos for upcoming films such as Fast & Furious 7, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and GODZILLA; but we all knew those were happening.

ComingSoon got some exclusive first hand looks, and one standing out is Jurassic Park. Not being titled "4" or "IV"; which might lend some gravity to actor Sam Neill's comments that the new film would be a total re-jig; but it's worth noting that the banner for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a different one that we've scene from filming, and bears the title of the last script, Ninja Turtles.

 What this did confirm is that Jurassic Park is still happening, after production was halted and the 2014 release pushed back just under a month ago, mere days after the first production photo of Isla Nublar (the island from the original) seen above.

Word is hopefully expected soon on the state and maybe plot of the film, all that has been confirmed is that Safety Not Guranteed director Colin Trevorrow is at the helm, with Rise of the Planet of the Apes scribes Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver penning the script.

Jurassic Park fansite JurassicPark4-movie reported that Trevorrow took to Twitter earlier in the month to reply to fans about the state of the film:

@JurassicPark14 No, very much alive. We're writing and designing. More news coming soon.

@JP4Committee Not at all. More news soon.

And First Showing reports:

That likely means a summer release, which isn't surprising since someone close to production said the film wasn't delayed indefinitely but rater taking a short hiatus while the studio has a "restructuring of the guard." It sounds like some things needed to be reworked so the film wasn't rushed into production just to meet a release date without a care for quality. In addition, a booklet at the expo reveals the film will shoot in 3D - not a big surprise. Colin Trevorrow (of Safety Not Guaranteed) is still directing the film from a script by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (of Rise of the Planet of the Apes) with Frank Marshall and Steven Spielberg producing. Hopefully we'll hear more plot details and a specific 2015 release date soon.
