Dinosaur fear has a name and a date.

Steven Spielberg brings his long-awaited next installment of the Jurassic Park series to theaters June 12, 2015. It also has a name -- Jurassic World -- Universal Pictures announced on Tuesday.

Colin Trevorrow has been tapped to direct the epic action-adventure from a draft of the screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly. It will be shot in 3-D.

The filmmakers have already promised new dinosaur villains for the fourth installment of the franchise. The first three films in the series have taken in $1.9 billion at the box office.

Earlier this year, a 3-D re-release of the original 1993 Jurassic Park inspired a return to the dinosaur madness of decades past and brought in $114 million globally.

The news comes the same day that Disney studios announced that Pirates of the Caribbean 5 would move off the summer 2015 calendar and be released in 2016.

The Adult in me says "I hope this wont be a big disappointment
the kid in me says: Dinosaurs DINOSAURS! DINOSAURS!!!!!!!! I WANT DINOSAURS!!!!!!!!!!!

Well one of the people helping to run our country is making a mini jurassic park with animated dinos. Does that count? He's also building the Titanic II and sending it on the same path as the Titanic, so he's clearly ok with tempting fate with his actions.

edit: Wait he may not have won his seat. Bummer.

**PrehistoricUFO**

Jurassic Park 1 is one of my top 3 films of all time (after Apollo 13 and Close Encounters). Even though the series declined, I'm still really excited for another installment.

**Necroshea**

I've heard talk about how the new plot centers around some sort of alpha predator on the island that's caused all sorts of problems, so they go in and use tech to take over the other dinos and...

Yeah it's pretty far fetched. But still, "Dino villain"? Maybe not too far off the mark.

**nels1031**

My joy at Spielberg returning to Jurassic park is overshadowed by the 5th Pirates of the Caribbean movie....

I want the old Johnny Depp back.

While I agree those are all great movies, you know which one I like the most? Jurassic Park 3. I'm serious. There were parts that sucked, but there were also a lot of elements that really started to move the film series into the genre in which we all know it really belongs - survival horror.

Remember that scene where the Spinosaurus attacked the plane? And then, for like 10 minutes, just went on a bloody rampage and ate like 4 people? Make 2 hours of that.

Also, jesus christ, Chrome. I am disappoint.

**Frazzled**

I likd JP 3 for similar reasons.

**PredaKhaine**

JP3 was better than the 2nd I thought. All bar the Peter Pan/Hook rip off with the phone ringing every time the Spinosaur attacked (like the ticking clock used to alert Hook to his imminent croc danger)

I bet that poor dinosaur got really annoyed by that.

Spends hours sneaking up on unsuspecting prey...Phone rings, prey scarpers.
*Wonders how to put phone on silent when its halfway round his colon*

So we're going for the dino-riders angle...

In my dreamland, Jurassic Park 4 would be that the dinosuars got to the mainland and bred.

I agree with Ouze - survival horror would be a good direction for JP to take.

**SilverMK2**

dinosaur villains

I couldn't find a 'raptor twirling an evil mustache, so that is as close as I could get

**PredaKhaine**

Croquet is a sure sign of evilness

**AduroT**

The ending of one of the books alludes to dinosaurs getting to the mainland and surviving, as the Dinos are made to be missing a certain protein, and swaths of plants rich in that protein were being eaten up in some remote region or something. It's been awhile since I read em.

**RossDas**

The chameleon dino from Crichton's second book would be a welcome addition, especially if they want to take it in the survival horror direction. I hope it's not just going to be Godzilla with JP trousers on.

They had a lysine deficiency - I think they were also migrating too

**timetowaste85**

I also loved the first and third. Second was only "okay". Let the scientists go in and try to control the dinos to take out this big baddie; the dinos will obviously escape programming and eat the scientists. Hopefully Ray Arnold's bloody severed arm can make a reappearance in this one as a bloody limb flying. Also, finding Muldoon alive, having bonded with the raptor through a ceremony of blood, and he turns out to be ruling the island...

Okay, okay. I'm crossing into Mat Ward territory. I'll shut up.

In Costa Rica, specifically.

I can remember that, from a book I read twice when it came out in 1990. Later tonight, I will pick up my keys, put them on the table, brush my teeth, and then spend 15 minutes cursing and searching for my keys.

I'd entirely forgotten the protein deficiency until AduroT mentioned it. Then I knew the name of it as well.

The main thing I remember about that book is the roles of the kids swapping for the film and the DNA chains taking pages and seeming to be printed out in full...AGCT...

It was the first book. There's an "epilogue" where the survivors of the events at the park are kept secluded by the Costa Rican government are staying at a hotel at the expense of the Costa Rican government and the original zoologist who discovered the compsognathus at the start of the book (the whole bit with the girl being bitten that ended up being the start to the film version of "The Lost World") talks about how there have been mass slaughterings of chickens and crops of rice/lysine rich food sources vanishing in almost a straight pathway on the mainland.

The implication was that the velociraptor nest that was on the island had members that had migrated to the mainland.

Its the first one actually. It starts with compys already on the mainland attacking a girl I believe.

When the find Muldoon he is fat and bald, and has taken to quoting bad poems over the radio. The horror...the horror...

You are (half) correct! They in fact repurposed that scene for the intro to Jurassic Park 2.

What they did not repurpose into a scene for any movie ever was the utterly unfilmable other half of the intro to the book - where the compys eat the face off a baby in a crib.

I think they should film that (maybe "off screen")... but, ya'll are right, it needs to be more "horror survival".

I thought the compy buffet scene was in JP3...

Edit: NVM, it's been far too long since I've seen either of the films.

**Necroshea**

All this talk reminds me how after reading the books several several years after watching the movie, I really liked the books better.

Muldoon was a bad ass. Well more bad ass than the movies. You'd think the scene with him using a grenade launcher against raptors would be something out of a movie.

The crib part, and compy's in general. Muuuuuch more creepy and lethal than they were in the movie.

While the build up was really good for the carnotaurs (camo dinos), the actual scene was a bit boring. Creepy, but boring. Should have done more with them.

**PredaKhaine**

Think I've just decided what I'm going to read tonight

**timetowaste85**

Oh, the books are amazing. John Hammond is also a colossal douche in the books, not a kindly old grandpa with a dream.

Yes it was! That's when they were shining flashlights on them, and its skin would change color, right? It's been ages since I've read the book.

As for the movie, I'm pretty excited for another one. I've loved the whole series thus far.

**Frazzled**

Wait when you hear wings above you don't look out for falling dino poop? I love a good smoked dinosaur sandwich.

**d-usa**

It will not be a survival horror. It will be a PG-13 made-for-merchandising generic popcorn movie.

**drock403**

Jurassic Park 1 is still my favourite movie of all time. The second one was ok, can't stand the third one. Here's hoping the series returns to its roots and relies on storytelling and suspense, like the first film, instead of crappy CG and human-velociraptor communication.
