Jurassic Park 4 gets a 2014 release date

Deadline is reporting that Jurassic Park IV is set for a June 13, 2014 release date. No director is signed on yet, but it will be shot in 3D (no post-conversion) and the new script is by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) who were hired last year producers Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy. The movie has been in and out of development for 10 years, and some thought the death of author Michael Crichton might finish the project for good, but it seems like one of my all-time favorite movies really is going to get another sequel. A 3D rerelease of the original film is set for April 5 this year.

Jurassic Park 3D is coming soon

The poster for the 3D conversion of Jurassic Park is here, and it looks good. It'll open on April 5 next year. Off all the 3D conversions queued up over the next few years, this is the one I'm most looking forward to. As I've said before, it's one of my all time favorite films, and Steven Spielberg has said Jurassic Park was the only one of his films he'd want to see converted. Plus, this is Universal's way to generate some buzz for the long awaited Jurassic Park 4. So far, writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (from Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes), and producer Frank Marshall are on board. While Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that the film won't be a reboot and will continue the continuity of the previous films.
