Th following is an excerpt from The Box Office Magazine with director Joe Johnston.
The internet is freaking out that there might be a Jurassic Park IV.
Wow, when did that happen?
November-you mentioned to Ain't it Cool News that there might be a good script.
Did I tell him? Was it me?
You said that there was no way to get people back on the island for a fourth time and have it make sense, but that 2001 was the last installment and we're due.
Well, there is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. And it's going to be unlike anything you've seen. It breaks away from the first three-it's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way. That's pretty much all I can tell you.
A second trilogy?
If you think of the first three as a trilogy, number four would be the beginning of a second trilogy.
That's big. So not to lock you in, but there's a possibility there might be a total of six films?
Well, you never know. If they keep working-and if audiences keep going to them-there's no reason why there wouldn't be. We just want to make them justified in their own right. We don't want to make sequel after sequel just because there's a market for it. We want to tell different, interesting stories. You don't want to just sell hamburger.
Also, Kiera knightly has been named by Rotten Tomatoes to join the cast.
I have seen teaser trailers from googling.
All of these things should be taken with scrutiny, of course. but crossing of fingers couldn't hurt
