20 Mind-Blowing Facts About The Jurassic Park Franchise

By Jonathan Cordiner /

1. Colin Trevorrow Won€™t Be Directing The Next One

Arriving as it is in an overcrowded summer stuffed with high-profile projects, Jurassic World probably won€™t emerge as the overall box office champ. That being said, with Hollywood€™s latest hot shot in the lead role, a hefty budget, solid reviews and the enduring appeal of dinosaurs in its favour, the movie stands a good chance of being one of the year€™s big winners overall. Where there€™s profit, there€™s a sequel, and another instalment of the Jurassic Park franchise seems all but inevitable. Colin Trevorrow, however, will not be returning to the director€™s chair for future adventures. While he hopes to remain on board in a creative capacity and may well make valuable contributions to future stories, Trevorrow will seek to emulate none other than Steven Spielberg in his future creative endeavours:
€œThat€™s something that Steven and I talked about a long time ago. And it€™s a decision that we made early on in the process, because Steven was aware of how important it was to me to have a body of work and to exist in different worlds and to make different kinds of films. That€™s a privilege that he€™s had over the course of his career.€
