Production on JURASSIC WORLD 2 Officially Underway

Producer Frank Marshall took to Twitter this week to announce that production is underway on the JURASSIC PARK sequel for Universal Pictures. J.A. Bayona will direct the feature, set to hit theaters on June 22, 2018. Check out the tweet below:

2015's science-fiction adventure film JURASSIC WORLD was the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park series. The film was directed and co-written by Colin Trevorrow, produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, and stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The production companies were Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, also responsible for the rest of the Jurassic Park franchise, and Thomas Tull's Legendary Pictures. Set 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World takes place on the same fictional island of Isla Nublar, off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where a theme park populated with cloned dinosaurs has operated for ten years. The park plunges into chaos when a genetically created dinosaur breaks loose and goes on a rampage across the island.

Jurassic World was released on June 12, 2015 in over 60 countries. After a record-breaking opening weekend where it grossed $500 million worldwide, Jurassic World generated a total of $1.6 billion in box office revenue, standing as the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time without inflation adjustment, as well as the second-highest-grossing film of 2015 and the highest in the franchise.
