10 Potential Directors For The Jurassic World Sequel

8. Matt Reeves

Drew Goddard may have written Cloverfield, but Matt Reeves directed it, so he had just as much if not more of a hand in its success. For all of the same reasons as Goddard, Reeves would be great for Jurassic Park, proving himself as a guy capable of large scale monster action and small scale character moments. He also recently directed Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, a highlight of the fifty year old series. With this movie, Reeves tackled a massive franchise that had been dormant for years, but had recently rebooted into a respectable form. Doesn't that description perfectly describe the situation with Jurassic Park 5? Reeves has proven that he's capable of handling a big franchise, and with Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes he delivered one of the most satisfying entries yet. That's also a movie that pits humans against non-human foes that are largely CGI. If Reeves could bring the same sense of adventure and emotion to Jurassic Park 5, the series would be in pretty great hands.
