Another brief but exciting update on the production of Jurassic World 2. Recently it was reported that J.A Bayona will be in the directors chair for the upcoming sequel. Now after a few weeks of rumors it looks like a deal has been struck to move filming from Hawaii (Most of the Jurassic Films were shot there) to  the UK.

We’ve known for some time that the story would move off island to the mainland, away from the park settings. Although moving to the UK could have nothing to do with the actual setting of the story. Many films chose to shoot in the UK for its large filming studios like Pinewood.

Tho some speculate that we may see dino’s rampaging through London when the film is finally released June of 2018. I’m not too keen on that idea just yet but it’s honestly way to early to know for sure what route the sequel will take.

It was also confirmed that filming will begin early 2017. So far only Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt are set to return. Although it ‘s pretty clear by having Dr. Wu (played by JP’s only returning cast mate BD Wong) escape the island with embryos that he may have a part to play in the sequel as well.

Jurassic World 2 UPDATE.

Standard

  
Finally some news coming out of the wood work about my beloved Jurassic Park/World franchise. Colin Trevorrow who directed Jurassic World announced via his twitter that the Director for Jurass World 2 has been chosen.

   
 J.A. Bayona has been tasked with directing the follow up to last summers smash hit Jurassic World. I know him most from his film The Impossible which gives me some hope because I thought dispite the white washing of the protagonists, the film is very well directed. He has a visual flair while also being able to bring heart to a story.

  
He’s known in the horror community for his creepy little thriller The Orphanage. So I’m hoping he can bring some scare back to the series. One thing I felt was lacking from JW was any kind of terror from the dinosaurs –  Sam Jackson’s severed arm scared the bajeesus out of me as a child – there hasnt been any similar sort of scene in the subsequint sequels.

As of now I’m happy with the decision and I look forward to hearing more regarding the production as we get closer to pre production. What do you think of this development?
