The events are said to take place Isla Nublar, the site of John Hammond's (Richard Attenborough) Jurassic Park theme park, rather than Isla Sorna of the two previous sequels.
Chris Pratt will play a rugged ex-military man, who spars with Bryce Dallas Howard's corporate scientist. Melissa & Joey and The Kings of Summer star Nick Robinson is poised to play the older brother of Ty Simpkins, the 12-year-old actor that befriended Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man 3".The boys are in turn Howard’s nephews. Josh Brolin was first in line for Pratt's role but a deal could not be reached. Vincent D'Onofrio will play the villain in the sequel. Irrfan Khan has landed an unspecified role in the project as well. Actor Bd Wong will reprise his role as Dr. Henry Wu."The Intouchables" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" star Omar Sy Judy Greer Katie McGrath and Lauren Lapkus also star.
"New Girl" and "Drinking Buddies" star Jake Johnson also may star. "Pacific Rim" and "Luther" star Idris Elba came up in a casting notice. Jason Schwartzman is rumored for a role in the sequel. David Oyelowo is said to had a meeting about the flick as well. There's nothing official on that though.
Originally slated for June 2014, the sequel was delayed due to further work being need on the super secret script by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes)--not to mention an already too tight schedule.
Colin Trevorrow wrote the revised screenplay with Derek Connolly and will direct.
Steven Spielberg, who directed Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park, will executive produce here. Jurassic Park III was brought to the screen by Joe Johnston.
Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley will produce the dino sequel set to hit theaters on June 12, 2015.
Filming will continue in Hawaii before moving to New Orleans in June.
Trevorrow spoke to Empire about the potential for sequels saying that "if they'll have him" he'd love to return to direct future installments of the film series. In fact, "Jurassic World" lays the groundwork of story arcs that can be carried into future films:
"We definitely talked about [sequels] a lot. We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic, and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story."
Trevorrow reveals that Sy plays the "best friend" of Pratt's character in the film, and they have action scenes together, which "could be memorable and potentially carry on to future films."
Story Deets?
Trevorrow says the pic deals with two species trying to co-exist:
"It's about alpha dominance and the fact that humans have been the alpha species for a very long time, and so now we've brought back another that happened to be the alpha species during its time, and we have to co-exist, so what is that relationship?"
