‘Jurassic Park 4’ Will Be Called ‘Jurassic World’ and Come Out in 2015

by John Carle, Sep 12 2013 // 8:35 AM

That’s right. The franchise that just keeps coming back whether it is through sequels or 3D rereleases, Jurassic Park has been something we haven’t been able to get away from since we saw Martin Ferrero get eaten off of a toilet by a TRex. Twenty two years following the release of the original film (and a full quarter century since the original novel’s release), Jurassic Park will be coming back, this time as Jurassic World.

On June 12th, 2015, Jurassic World will kick off the summer blockbusters that follow the release of The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Formerly known only as Jurassic Park IV, Jurassic World’s script is being penned by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver who wrote 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes while it is directed by Colin Trevorrow who directed Safety Not Guaranteed. Though the writing of the team seems to support what Jurassic World is looking for, Trevorrow has some lofty shoes to fill from Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park even though the two sequels fell on less favorable reviews and adoration.

The Seventh Season of ‘Doctor Who’ Set To Launch In September

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Aug 17 2012 // 4:15 PM

Say what you will about American TV structure vs. our brethren across the pond, but when it comes to the big time shows you usually know what and when you are getting them. One of the biggest shows on BBC is, of course, Doctor Who and up until now we have only had a vague sense of when it was returning.

It was announced that the seventh season premiere will air on Saturday September 1st. As of now this is only official for the BBC broadcast, but starting last year the show aired day and date with BBC America, and there is no indication that will change now. The seventh season begins with a five episode run before it fractures around Christmas, allowing the second half to play out in 2013.

In addition to the air date, BBC also released the official synopsis for the first three episodes:

Episode 1: Asylum of the Daleks

“Kidnapped by his oldest foe, the Doctor is forced on an impossible mission – to a place even the Daleks are too terrified to enter… the Asylum. A planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of their kind, the Doctor and the Ponds must find an escape route. But with Amy and Rory’s relationship in meltdown, and an army of mad Daleks closing in, it is up to the Doctor to save their lives, as well as the Ponds’ marriage.”

You can check out the other two after the jump.

A New ‘Jurassic Park’ Sequel Might Be Closer Than We All Think

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Jul 23 2012 // 3:45 PM

The Jurassic Park franchise is one of cinema history’s biggest disappointments. The original was a revelation and a generation defining experience. The sequels were both less than noble efforts to recapture the essence of what we loved in the first film. Both, while ok in their own ways, were resounding Jurassic Park failures.

So the idea of going back to the island has always remained a possibility. There is so much more world to explore in the series, and even a couple misfire sequels can’t taint the thirst we all collectively have for more Jurassic Park.

Recently Collider spoke with producer Frank Marshall in advance of the latest Bourne film, and the subject of JP4 came up:

“I would say that it will be on the screen within two years” Marshall went on to reveal that they’re aiming for a summer release since it’s a “popcorn movie,” and confirmed that it’s definitely a sequel and not a reboot or remake.

Yes, thank you Mr. Marshall. Describing Jurassic Park 4 as a summer ‘popcorn’ movie is the best bit of news regarding the potential sequel we have yet heard. The original worked precisely because it was a ‘popcorn’ movie. Broad strokes painted with exquisite digital detail.

Weather or not we do indeed get a sequel by Summer 2014 remains to be seen, but knowing that the powers behind the film have the right mindset for the project, and the eagerness to get it made sooner rather than later is great news.

Fan Film Friday: Dinosaurs That Go ‘Hey!’

by Matt Raub, Jun 19 2009 // 11:15 AM

For Last Week’s Fan Film Friday, click here.

In honor of this week’s episode of The Flickcast (aptly named after the sequel to 1993’s Jurrasic Park), I thought we could keep with our dinosaur theme of the week.

There is plenty of intellectual comedy on the ‘net, so it’s nice when something like this comes along to break the mold and still warrants a chuckle or two. Take a look at what would happen if the Jurrasic Park dinosaurs didn’t roar, but rather yelled “HEYYYY!”.

It’s only about 90 seconds, but you may want to watch it multiple times. Enjoy.
