Director Colin Trevorrow has described his upcoming film Jurassic World: Dominion as a “true ensemble”, in which returning Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, and returning Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will all be of equal importance to the story. With so many characters to do justice in this sequel, which Trevorrow has said is the conclusion of a six film story, it makes sense that it’s also going to be the longest film in the entire Jurassic franchise.
OneTakeNews has discovered that Jurassic World 3 has a runtime of 146 minutes and 57 seconds… so let’s call it 147 minutes. The puts it well ahead of its predecessors, which had the following runtimes: Jurassic Park – 127 minutes. The Lost World: Jurassic Park – 129 minutes. Jurassic Park III – 92 minutes. Jurassic World – 124 minutes. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – 126 minutes.
Trevorrow, who previously directed the first Jurassic World, directed this one from a screenplay he wrote with Emily Carmichael, based on an idea he crafted with his Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom co-writer Derek Connolly. An official synopsis has yet to be released, but here’s how USA Today describes the plot:
When a bunch of dinosaurs get loose around the world, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) go on a globetrotting mission to round them up before mankind falls a few spots on the food chain. Back for this Jurassic installment are original trilogy characters including Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern).
Also in the cast are Omar Sy, Mamoudou Athie, Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, Scott Haze, Campbell Scott, and Dichen Lachman.
A collaboration between Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Jurassic World: Dominion was executive produced by Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg, with Frank Marshall producing alongside Pat Crowley. Sara Scott, senior vice president of production at Universal, oversaw the project for the studio.
Jurassic World: Dominion is scheduled to reach theatres on June 10th.
