Dinosaurs were released into the countryside of mainland North America at the end of JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM, a concept that will be explored in the upcoming sequel JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION – but judging by a conversation producer Frank Marshall had with the folks over at Collider, it doesn't sound like DOMINION is going to solve the issue of having dinosaurs loose in the modern world.
Marshall made it clear that DOMINION is not being seen as an ending to the JURASSIC PARK franchise. Instead, it's
the start of a new era. The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope."
So it sounds like we can look forward to further sequels that will have dinosaurs co-existing with humans going about their day-to-day lives.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow from a screenplay he wrote with Emily Carmichael (based on an idea Trevorrow crafted with his JURASSIC WORLD and FALLEN KINGDOM co-writer Derek Connolly), JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, Mamoudou Athie, DeWanda Wise, and Dichen Lachman.
DOMINION was just three weeks into production when the project had to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming had wrapped in the city of Merritt, British Columbia and the crew had moved over to England for three nights of filming in Hawley Common and Minley Woods when things were put on hold. When filming resumes, locations will include Hawaii, Malta, and Pinewood Studios in England.
Marshall confirmed that sets have already been built at Pinewood, and said production would resume as soon as they have guidelines from the British government.
A collaboration between Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, DOMINION is being executive produced by Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg, with Marshall producing alongside Pat Crowley. Sara Scott, senior vice president of production at Universal, is overseeing the project for the studio.
The film is currently scheduled to reach theatres on June 11, 2021, but that release date was chosen before the shutdown.
