Jurassic World 2 - Everything You Need To Know

7. Colin Trevorrow Isn’t Directing...

Colin Trevorrow graduated to the level of blockbuster filmmaker with Jurassic World, a gig that he nabbed after his feature-directing debut (the indie comedy Safety Not Guaranteed) wowed the socks off of Spielberg. Trevorrow co-wrote and directed the Jurassic Park relaunch to much fanfare, but he's not decided to do the same for its sequel.

Trevorrow will contribute to the script again, but he won't direct Jurassic World 2. Instead the shots will be called by Spanish director J.A. Bayona, who wrote and directed a number of successful films in his home county before working on the American productions The Impossible, The Orphanage and A Monster Calls.

The latter of those films was proof positive that Bayona can blend massive monstrous imagery with intimate human drama, which is an excellent skill-set to utilise in the Jurassic Park franchise. Hopefully he can use it to flesh out the unremarkable characters he's inheriting from Jurassic World.
