Will The Jurassic Park Franchise Ever End? Jurassic World Rebirth Director Reveals
Jurassic World Rebirth is set for release on July 2.
Colin Trevorrow is 'very proud" of what he has achieved with the Jurassic World franchise. The 48-year-old director was at the helm of the 2015 film Jurassic World – which served as the fourth installment overall in the Jurassic Park film series – and after making Jurassic World Dominion seven years later, he has insisted that it is unlikely that 'interest will ever really run out" because of the global fascination with dinosaurs.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I was so deeply entrenched in what we were building over all of that time. It wasn't just the films and the two animated series on Netflix; we have the toys and the theme parks, and everything else that we did. So we built something that's strong enough to move forward, and I'm very proud of that. I also know that pretty much every time a child is born, a new dinosaur fan is born. So I don't think the interest in seeing dinosaurs is ever really going to run out."
As Trevorrow prepares for the release of Jurassic World Rebirth, he admitted that even though his idea of the franchise takes a 'step away" from the initial concept somewhat, he has still been able to find a way to keep the idea coming back to the screen in a 'comprehensive" way.
He said: 'I always applied the same rules to dinosaurs as I would to real animals. When a tiger is set loose in a city, they capture it pretty fast. So the idea that these wild creatures would even want to come close to a city was a question I would always ask, and we managed to find ways to make it make sense. I think dinosaurs running wild in the streets of a city does take a bit of a step away from what Michael Crichton created, and that was always my feeling."
He added: But we did find ways for them to interact with our world as comprehensively as possible. And when I say that, it's not just the films; it's our animated shows as well. They did a lot of that, especially the new one [Jurassic World: Chaos Theory]." Jurassic World Rebirth is set for release on July 2.

Quentin Tarantino on why he handed over 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' follow-up to David Fincher: 'It unenthused me'
Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has shed light on his surprising decision to step away from directing the upcoming Netflix follow-up to his 2019 film 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' , despite having written the script himself. In April, Netflix announced that Brad Pitt would reprise his role as Cliff Booth, the charismatic stuntman from the original film. While fans initially assumed Tarantino would return to direct, it was later revealed that David Fincher — the visionary behind 'Fight Club' and 'The Social Network' — would instead helm the project. In a recent interview, Tarantino explained his reasoning, 'I love this script, but I'm still walking down the same ground I've already walked. It just kind of unenthused me,' he admitted. 'This last movie, I've got to not know what I'm doing again. I've got to be in uncharted territory.' 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', set in late 1960s Los Angeles, was a nostalgic and revisionist ode to the film industry's golden age. It received critical acclaim, won two Academy Awards, and has since spawned a cult following. Brad Pitt's portrayal of Booth — a stoic yet enigmatic figure — became a standout element of the film, and his return in the follow-up has generated significant buzz. Tarantino, who has long stated his intent to retire after directing ten films, expressed admiration for Fincher, calling him a natural choice to direct the new project. 'I think me and David Fincher are the two best directors,' he said. 'So the idea that David Fincher actually wants to adapt my work, to me, shows a level of seriousness towards my work that I think needs to be taken into account.' While Tarantino won't be behind the camera this time, he remains closely involved with the project as both writer and producer. 'I'm moving back and forth between here and Israel, so I won't be on the set every day and everything. But, yeah, I'll be around if they need me to do something, you know, I will,' he shared. The upcoming Netflix film remains untitled, and plot details are under wraps. However, with Tarantino's writing, Fincher's direction, and Pitt's return as Cliff Booth, expectations are already high for a gripping and stylish continuation of the 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' universe.
