JURASSIC WORLD Reboot Director Gareth Edwards Talks About Jumping Into the Franchise — GeekTyrant

It was recently announced that Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment had hired Rogue One and The Creator director Gareth Edwards, to direct the new Jurassic World reboot that they are producing. Well, the filmmaker has commented on joining the franchise film for the first time at an event for his last movie, The Creator. When asked about directing Jurassic World he responded:

“I was about to take a break and I started writing my next idea for a film and this is the only movie that would make me drop everything like a stone and dive right in. I love Jurassic Park. I think the first movie is a cinematic masterpiece… so this opportunity is like a dream to me. And to work with Frank Marshall and Universal and David Koepp, who’s writing that script, I think they’re all legends. So I’m just very excited.”

There are no story details about Jurassic World, but it will be “a completely fresh take” on the franchise, and none of the original actors from Jurassic Park or Jurassic World will return for the new movie. I think it’s safe to say though, judging by the title, it will take place in a world overrun with dinosaurs.

Steven Spielberg returning as a producer on the film, and I just hope that this creative team will be able to deliver an epic fresh new take on the franchise and tell a great new story!
