It appears that we\u2019ll be getting at least two more dinosaur filled romps in the near future. A sequel to the 2015 film <em>Jurassic World<\/em> is currently in pre-production with the rumored working title of <em>Jurassic World: Ancient Futures<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Colin Trevorrow won\u2019t be returning to the director\u2019s chair for the next installment. That honor has been passed onto Juan Antonio Bayona, who is best known for directing the critically acclaimed horror film <em>The Orphanage<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, Trevorrow still has some involvement with the franchise. He, along with Steven Spielberg, are contemplating ideas for a third film. In a recent interview with LRM, Bayona confirmed this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very interesting. The whole <em>Jurassic World<\/em> is a trilogy that Colin Trevorrow has envisioned. We\u2019re writing the second chapter, and it\u2019s very interesting where he\u2019s leading the story. I grew up watching Steven Spielberg movies and I love those movies and the legacy, so it\u2019s a question of being truthful to the legacy and at the same time, bringing new stuff that people will appreciate. We are still six months ahead of shooting, and so far, so good. It\u2019s very exciting right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far, the only two actors who have signed on to return are Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. And, apparently, there\u2019s a significant story arc in their future. Hopefully, we\u2019ll see some other familiar faces as well. My personal wish is for Dr. Henry Wu to embrace his true villain and set up his new science lab in a volcano lair. Well, a girl can dream.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think of the idea of a Jurassic World trilogy? Are you a fan of where the franchise is headed?
