‘Jurassic World 3’ Will Be A “Science Thriller,” According To Colin Trevorrow
Break out the beakers and Bunsen burners:Jurassic World 3is going to blind you with science. WhileJurassic World3 is still a long way off from release,directorColin Trevorrowsays that we can expect the film to be a “science thriller.”
Thetrailer forJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomroared onto the interwebs today, but if you want to look towards the future of theJurassicfranchise, here’s someJurassic World 3info. Speaking withEntertainment Weekly,Jurassic WorldandJurassic World 3director Colin Trevorrow says that when it comes to the third film in theWorldtrilogy, audiences can expect a “science thriller”:
“If I could contextualize each film, I would sayJurassic Worldwas an action adventure,Fallen Kingdomis kind of a horror suspense film, andJurassic World 3will be a science thriller in the same way thatJurassic Parkwas.”
Hopefully, all this talk of science means the triumphant return of Mr. DNA. Ultimately, this seems to be Trevorrow’s way of saying the third film (which will technically be the sixth entry in theJurassicfranchise) will be more of a return toSteven Spielberg’s originalJurassic Park. Speaking of Spielberg, Trevorrow says the man himself personally asked him to return to helmJurassic World 3:
“Steven Spielberg asked me [to direct], and when he asks you, what can I tell you, man? In all honesty, over my past few years, I’ve grown to love and cherish the value of the gift that I’ve been given with this franchise.”
Trevorrow’sJurassic Worldwas a huge hit, but it faced some heavy backlash online. While Trevorrow co-wrote the script forJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, he handed over directorial duties toA Monster Callsfilmmaker J. A. Bayona. This was primarily so Trevorrow could go off and start planningStar Wars: Episode 9, but Trevorrow later left that project. Now he’s back on theJurassicbeat.
Trevorrow will co-write theJurassic World 3script with Emily Carmichael. When Trevorrow initially pitchedJurassic World, he pitched it as the first in a trilogy.Jurassic World 3will presumably round the trilogy out. Previously, Trevorrow said:
“I knew where I wanted it to go. I remember telling Steven [Spielberg] even while we were making the first movie, ‘This is the beginning. Here is the middle. And here’s the end of the end. This is where we want to go.’ I feel like that kind of design is crucial to a franchise like this if you really want to bring people along with you and make sure they stay interested. It needs to be thought through on that level. It can’t be arbitrary, especially if we want to turn this into a character-based franchise with people who you lean in to follow what they’re going to do.”
