Ever since Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow left for the galaxy far, far away to helm Star Wars: Episode IX, Universal has been searching for someone to step in and take the reigns of the rejuvenated, block-busting dino franchise. Recently Juan Antonio Bayona parted ways with the World War Z sequel, and Deadline now reports that he's someone we should keep an eye on to replace Trevorrow.

What does that mean exactly? Well, according to the site no actual negotiations have taken place, but Bayona has a close relationship with producer Frank Marshall and co., so although no offer is on the table, he could well be the man they want for the job. Of course there's just as much chance he isn't, but we'll update if and when we find out any more details.

How would you feel if Bayona did sign on to direct the next Jurassic World movie?

I thought JW was... ok. It had its moments of excitement and the dinos were cool, but that's about it. I really didn't care if every character was eaten slowly or not.

Is it really news when, in the same article, you name a guy in the running for a director job and then say "but yea, he might not get it. Who knows?"

I just hope this movie finally shows that the herbivores were the more dangerous of the species. Plus I really want to see a Therizinosaur. That is one of the coolest herbivores and paleontologists have said that even the T-Rexs were afraid of them.
