Jurassic World is still filming but, according to co-writer/director Colin Trevorrow, sequels are already planned looking to expand the Jurassic universe.
“We definitely talked about [sequels] a lot,” Tovorrow told Empire. “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.”
The story arcs are already in place according to the director who revealed he would be happy to return to the helm if the studio would have him.
He also gave some detail about what we could expect from the sequels, singling out Omar Sy's character as a possible returnee.
“He’s essentially Chris Pratt’s best friend,” he said. “They work together and have some pretty cool action scenes together. I wanted to create a relationship there that could be memorable and potentially carry on to future films.”
Currently filming in Hawaii, Jurassic World will return to Isla Nublar to see just what has become of the dinosaurs since the island was abandoned 22 years ago in the original film.
The director also confirmed he will be using animatronics and gave more details on his take of the film.
“It’s about alpha dominance and the fact that humans have been the alpha species for a very long time", he explained, "and so now we’ve brought back another that happened to be the alpha species during its time, and we have to co-exist, so what is that relationship?”
Let's hope this sequel can live up to the original! Here's the trailer for all you nostalgia fans.
Directed by Colin Tovorrow and starring Chris Pratt, Omar Sy, Vincent D’Onofrio, Irrfan Khan, Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins and of course the dinosaurs, Jurassic World is set for release on June 12th 2015.
