Universal is fast-tracking this film for a July 2, 2025 release date with Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One, The Creator) directing from a script by David Koepp (Carlito's Way, The Shadow, The Lost World, Stir of Echoes, Panic Room, Spider-man, Inferno, Kimi)

Who will score? Edwards has used a different composer for all his films: Jon Hopkins on Monsters, Alexandre Desplat on Godzilla, Michael Giacchino on Rogue One, Hans Zimmer on The Creator.

Giacchino scored Jurassic Park 4-6, but will probably be too busy directing THEM! to score this.

Desplat was also originally chosen to score that Star Wars movie, so maybe the director will go back to him a third time.

It'll be Lorne Bale or one of the 'dottirs, mark my words...

Funny anyone would think a director could foster their vision, especially for this tired franchise, and choose an appropriate composer to deliver something unique and in their voice.

Whoever the flavor of the month is when this hits its post schedule....they get the gig. John Powell's still warm, he could handle this nicely. SOLO is the best throwback, brass-laden, exciting mainstream thing I've heard in decades.

Wish Chris Young was A-listing again, I'd kill to hear a Young dino score.

If Hollywood thought film scores were an afterthought 'back then ', when some amazing work was being created....I shudder to think where they are now.

Who's hot this minute? Not that they will stay that way by the time this hits post.

Do these things even make any money to warrant continuing??

All the JURASSIC WORLDs hit $1 billion worldwide each.

Universal also fast tracked Jaws The Revenge and it did not turned out too well… great score though.

Of course they did, but thanks for confirming.

"Hey kids, let's go to Jurassic Park", that old antiquated ritual of going to a theater.

Curious if anyone actually gets anything out of these with an IQ over a single digit, and not just placating their children....or til tok'ing in the theater through the whole thing.

I can't imagine anyone clamoring for more of these soulless headaches, but hey, if y'all are happy - Bene.

You can't argue with the numbers. Most successful franchises have a good ten year run. They'll get one more out of it.

Universal Pictures’ “Jurassic World 4” movie is set to make use of locations in Thailand as well as studios in Malta and the U.K.

The Gareth Edwards-directed picture, produced by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, is expected to star Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Luna Blaise and David Iacono.

With a script by David Koepp, the new movie is touted as “a completely fresh take launching a new Jurassic era, following three adults and three teens getting stuck on the Island.” The new film has also been labeled as “Jurassic World 4” and “Jurassic City.”

The month-long Thailand unit production was confirmed by the country’s Department of Tourism director general Jaturon Phakdeewanit. He said that production will take place June 13-July 16 at locations including Bangkok, Trang, Phang Nga, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Additionally, the Huai To Waterfall, within the Khao Phanom Bencha National Park in Krabi province, is expected to take a week.

Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, Jurassic World Rebirth sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

Johansson plays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations expert contracted to lead a team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.

Bailey plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis, with Ali as Zora’s most trusted team leader, Duncan Kincaid. Others in the cast include Rupert Friend as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.

oh man, I would LOVE a Desplat JP score. Or Chris Young. Damnnnnnnnn.

Marco Beltrami perhaps? I'm just throwing out names of guys who have a solid command of modernist scoring. I think a more vicious score would suit this franchise.

Marco Beltrami is as bland as a composer as you can get. I never understand how he gets so many projects. The last time he made an impression on me was Soul Surfer and that was over 10 years ago.

I would say Beltrami is a fantastic composer who is too rarely afforded the opportunity to let his gifts shine like he did for Soul Surfer.

He is typecast as the mostly B-movie horror schlock guy, like Christopher Young.

And if Goldsmith had not started out in the Golden Age and got the chances to shine in the Silver Age, he now would probably also had been relegated to movies nobody would really like to remember.

Cool! Back to basics sounds like a great idea (something that was missing in the WORLD movies). Edwards is a solid filmmaker. Dig that shot too. Reminds me of ALIEN: COVENANT, which I loved (yes, I'm aware everyone else hated it, but I don't care).

Edwards is a brilliant and cunning visual filmmaker so I have high hopes for this one myself. I found the Jurassic World movies to be unappealing in visual content as much as story and character content as well.

The last few films have been pretty visually cruddy, indeed. They somehow manage to come off as B grade, even as they spend 1/4 billion dollars making these things, it is, perversely, quite an achievement to make such crappy looking films with so much money.

Agreed. Well, Bayona's FALLEN KINGDOM at least had SOME of his visual and stylistic trademarks, especially in that haunted house last act, but other than that, the style was vapid (Trevorrow is a hack, IMO) and it betrayed a lot of the ingredients that made the first film so great. Even THE LOST WORLD and III, to some exent.

Compare that to Edwards' playful, beautifully artsy style - especially when spectacle is viewed from a distance - in such films as MONSTERS, GODZILLA and THE CREATOR, the difference is night and day.

If I had any wish for a direction this franchise would take, it would be "back to basics" (i.e. a jungle-survival setting, without all the military nonsense), and a strong genre director like Edwards. Crossing my fingers that this will be it.

I may be alone in the thought, but I think The Lost World is one of the best looking films ever. Janusz Kaminski and Spielberg at a true apex together. I think the artificial digital gloss found in the JW movies is largely to blame though I also find Trevorrow to be a hack. If Bayona wasn't stuck with a measly Trevorrow-penned script perhaps his movie could've been something better.
