Alright, let’s try to put this puppy to bed once and for all. Are you interested in a whole new JURASSIC PARK trilogy?

Well Joe Johnston certainly is. The JURASSIC PARK 3 director, out promoting CAPTAIN AMERICA, has once again opened his yap about a potential 4th movie and beyond. Not sure if he really means it, or if he’s is cunningly pimping the new JURASSIC PARK trilogy release on DVD & Blu-ray later this year, but take a look at what the dude had to say to Screen Rant:

“Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that level it’s sort of about studios and Steven’s thing and who knows.”

Johnston continued:

“We are in discussions about ‘Jurassic Park 4.’ The most important thing I can tell you is that it starts a new trilogy that will go off in a different direction — a completely different direction that is very exciting, and different from anything we’ve seen…It starts with the history of the first trilogy, but it spins it off in a completely different direction. That’s all I can tell you.”

And that’s all she wrote. I can’t say I’m overly thrilled with the prospect of a new JURASSIC PARK trilogy, but if one has to be made, I’m glad a new direction is being conjured. Out with the old, yo!
