Weve been hearing about Jurassic Park IV for awhile, but with all the Indiana Jones talk it seemed
like it was being put on the back burner by Spielberg. That may no longer be the
case.
Sky News is reporting that Spielberg is eager to get it moving and
may actually consent to direct the fourth installment himself. Steven directed
the first two Jurassic Park movies, but Joe Johnston took over
for the less successful third one. Apparently Johnston is still Spielbergs
first choice to direct number four, but if Johnston cant or wont do it, then
Spielberg will hop back into the dino-directors chair.
Jurassic Park is currently slated for a wide release some time in
2008, so if theyre going to hit that target Spielberg will have to make up his
mind soon. The fact that hes interested in doing it indicates that whatever
script theyre using, the may actually have something good this time. Is there
more territory left to be explored in the Jurassic Park? Spielberg
seems to think so
