Production

Development

During early conversations on the 2015 film Jurassic World, executive producer Steven Spielberg told director Colin Trevorrow that he was interested in having several more films made.[9] In April 2014, Trevorrow announced that sequels had been discussed: "We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic, and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story."[10] Trevorrow hinted that Chris Pratt and Omar Sy could reprise their roles for the next film, and said he would direct the film if asked.[10] Trevorrow later told Spielberg that he would only focus on directing one film in the series.[9] In May 2015, Trevorrow announced that he would not direct another film in the series: "I would be involved in some way, but not as director." Trevorrow felt that different directors could bring different qualities to future films.[11] Pratt is signed on for future films in the series,[12] as well as Ty Simpkins, who portrayed Gray in Jurassic World.[13]

On June 3, 2015, Trevorrow stated that Jurassic World left story possibilities open for the sequel's director that could potentially allow the film to take place in a different location, rather than on an island. Trevorrow hinted that the next film could involve dinosaurs being used by other companies for non-entertainment purposes, possibly in agriculture, medicine, and war: "I really like the idea that this group of geneticists aren't the only people who can make a dinosaur [...] when you think of the differences between Apple and PC – the minute something goes open-source, there are all kinds of entities and interests that may be able to utilise that technology."[14]

On June 8, 2015, Jurassic World producer Frank Marshall met with Trevorrow and Universal Studios to discuss a sequel.[15] Later that month, Trevorrow did not deny that the film could involve "dinosaur soldiers",[16] and said the series is "not always gonna be about a Jurassic Park," saying he felt that future films could explore the idea of dinosaurs and humans co-existing together.[9] That same month, Trevorrow hinted that the next film may not involve the Jurassic World theme park,[17] and said he would be interested in seeing a Jurassic Park film made by one of several Spanish horror film directors, whose names he did not mention.[18] Director Juan Antonio Bayona had been considered for the job, but was already signed on to direct the World War Z sequel.[19]

Pre-production

On July 23, 2015, Universal announced that a fifth film is scheduled for a June 22, 2018 release date. It was also announced that Trevorrow would write the script with his writing partner Derek Connolly, as they did for Jurassic World; that the film would be produced by Frank Marshall; that Spielberg and Trevorrow would act as executive producers; and that Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard would reprise their roles from the previous film.[2] The next day, Trevorrow said the series "isn't always going to be limited to theme parks," and confirmed that the film would not involve "a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island. That'll get old real fast."[20] Trevorrow also spoke of the film's possible open-source storyline: "It's almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?"[20]

In August 2015, Howard confirmed that the script was being written.[21] That same month, it was also announced that the film will be released in the UK two weeks early, on June 7, 2018.[22] In September 2015, Trevorrow said the film's story was inspired by a quote from Dr. Alan Grant in the first film: "Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution, have suddenly been thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect?"[23] In October 2015, B. D. Wong said he "would be happy to return" as Dr. Henry Wu,[24] while Howard announced that filming would begin in 2017.[25] That month, Howard also said she would be interested in seeing characters from earlier Jurassic Park films return for the fifth film, saying, "I could see versions of the film where a lot of the characters come back."[26]

In January 2016, it was reported that Bayona could be a candidate to direct the film after he left the World War Z sequel.[27] In March 2016, it was reported that London was being scouted as a possible filming location and setting for the film.[28] On April 14, 2016, actor Jeff Goldblum said he had no plans to appear in the film as his character Ian Malcolm, although he said he was open to the possibility.[29] On April 18, 2016, Bayona was announced as the film's director, with Belén Atienza and Patrick Crowley joining Marshall as producers.[30] Spielberg, Marshall, and Kathleen Kennedy had been impressed by Bayona's 2012 film, The Impossible, and initially considered having him direct Jurassic World, but he declined as he felt there was not enough time for production.[31]

On April 21, 2016, it was confirmed that filming would take place at a UK studio.[32] Later that month, Bayona said he was reading all of Michael Crichton's novels, including Jurassic Park and The Lost World, "to try to immerse myself in Crichton's mind."[33] In May 2016, Trevorrow said, "We're moving it into new territory. J.A. Bayona is an incredible director and I know he'll push the boundaries of what a 'Jurassic' movie is. I think it's important that we take risks. A franchise must evolve or perish."[34] In June 2016, actor Sam Neill was asked if he would return to the series as Dr. Alan Grant and responded, "You never say never, but I think it's moved on. It's different times."[35]

In July 2016, it was confirmed that the film's working title is Ancient Futures,[36] and that production will begin in Hawaii in February 2017.[37][38] Wales was also confirmed as a filming location,[39] including Brecon Beacons and Penbryn.[40] That same month, Marshall confirmed that the film was in full pre-production, with storyboards being designed and filming expected to begin in early spring 2017.[41] Trevorrow and Connolly began working with Bayona in July 2016, to perfect the script to the director's liking.[42] Trevorrow stated that the film would be more "suspenseful and scary" than its predecessor: "It's just the way it's designed; it's the way the story plays out. I knew I wanted Bayona to direct it long before anyone ever heard that it was a possibility, so the whole thing was just built around his skillset."[42] Marshall said that Bayona had incorporated his own ideas into the film's script, but stated that it is essentially the same original story devised by Trevorrow and Connolly.[41]

In September 2016, Trevorrow said that the film would be based on concepts from the novels, and stated that the film would be heavily inspired by the idea that, "A mistake made a long time ago just can't be undone." Trevorrow announced that Hawaii would be used as a primary filming location, while U.K. shooting would be limited to studios, without the story taking place there. Trevorrow also denied that the film's story would involve militarized dinosaurs, which would only be mentioned in the film.[42] In October 2016, Trevorrow said the film's dinosaurs would be "a parable of the treatment animals receive today: the abuse, medical experimentation, pets, having wild animals in zoos like prisons, the use the military has made of them, animals as weapons."[43] That month, Bayona stated that he compares the sequel to Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which were both considered darker than their predecessors.[44]

In November 2016, Marshall said that Wong was "probably going to come back."[45] Later that month, Jurassic World composer Michael Giacchino confirmed that he would return to compose the fifth film,[46] while Óscar Faura was announced as the film's cinematographer.[47]

Casting

In October 2016, casting was underway for the role of a nine-year-old girl.[48] On November 7, 2016, Toby Jones and Rafe Spall were reported to be in discussions about joining the cast for unspecified roles.[4] On December 1, 2016, it was reported that Justice Smith had signed on to portray the role of a young scientist.[5] Jones and Spall were also confirmed to have joined the film at that point.[5] In January 2017, Daniella Pineda was cast in an unspecified lead role.[6] Ted Levine and James Cromwell were cast in unspecified roles the following month,[7][8] while Wong confirmed his return as Dr. Henry Wu.[3]

Filming

Filming began at Langley Business Centre in Slough, England, on February 23, 2017.[49][50] A majority of filming will take place at Pinewood Studios in England.[51] Production will also take place in Hawaii, which will be used as a primary filming location.[42] Scenes will also be shot at Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales.[52] Some animatronic dinosaurs will be used for production of the film.[42]

Release

Jurassic World 2 is scheduled for release on June 22, 2018,[53] with an early release in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2018.[22]
