Owen is an ex-Navy member, working in Jurassic World by studying the behavior of the park's four ''[[Velociraptor (movie canon)|Velociraptors]]''; the beta, named [[Blue]], [[Delta]], [[Echo]], and [[Charlie (raptor)|Charlie]]. Having trained the raptors to follow some of his commands, he is described as the "alpha" of the pack. [[Vic Hoskins]], leader of InGen's Security Division, thinks the raptors show potential for military applications, much to the disgust of Owen. However, a near-fatal encounter by an amateur worker shows the raptors are not tamed.

Claire meets Owen at his trailer and requests his help evaluating in the paddock of the ''Indominus''. After giving Claire a hard time over an earlier failed date, Owen agrees to examine the paddock. However, the animal appears to have disappeared from the paddock; She can't be seen and there is no sign of her on thermal imaging. Owen spots some claw marks on the wall that weren't there before, concluding that the ''I. rex'' has escaped by climbing over the enclosure's wall. Claire rides back to the control room to see where the ''I. rex's'' tracking device says it is. Owen, [[Nick(Paddock Supervisor)|Nick]] and [[Ellis]] go into the paddock to investigate the clawed wall. In the control room, workers [[Lowery Cruthers]] and [[Vivian Krill]] see that the ''I. rex'' is still in the paddock. After being notified of this, Owen and the ''I. rex'' paddock workers try to escape. Suddenly, the ''I. rex'' reappears, eating Ellis and breaks through the gate. Owen barely escapes by hiding underneath a vehicle and spraying himself with gasoline to mask his scent. However, Nick is eaten.

Claire sends the Asset Containment Unit (ACU) to take the ''I. rex'' down. They are carrying non-lethal weapons because the ''I. rex'' is too expensive to harm. ACU Commander [[Katashi Hamada]] discovers that the ''I. rex'' has clawed out her tracking implant and spots the hybrid too late because she can camouflage herself. Hamada and a majority of the squad are either killed or eaten, with only a lucky few survive without serious injuries. Claire chooses to close every attraction north of the resort while Owen advocates evacuating the island immediately. Shortly afterward, she gets a call from her sister, who is resentful that Claire is not spending quality time with Zach and Gray.

The four humans find Hoskins in the genetics lab attempting to evacuate himself from the facility.

Owen manages to reestablish his connection with them and when the ''I. rex'' arrives, Owen and the raptors attack her, although the raptors are all seemingly killed. Realizing they do not have the "teeth" to defeat the powerful hybrid, they resort to one final option: Claire calls Lowery and tells him to open the [[T. rex Kingdom|''T. rex's'' paddock]], luring [[Rexy]], the park's old veteran ''[[Tyrannosaurus rex (Isla Nublar)|Tyrannosaurus rex]]'' into a fight with the ''Indominus''. She has the upper hand for a moment, but then she is overpowered, and thrown to the ground. However, before the Indominus can kill her, Blue, who's still alive from being knocked into a wall, attacks the ''Indominus'', giving the ''T. Rex'' time to wake up. The ''Indominus rex'', who has no chance to fight back, flails wildly. Then out of nowhere, the ''T. Rex'' gets back up from the ground and chomps onto her neck. The ''T. Rex'' and Blue battle the ''Indominus'', cornering her in front of the Mosasaurus Lagoon. Just as the ''Indominus'' recovers, the ''Mosasaurus'' bursts out of the water and drags the hybrid underwater where the marine reptile finishes her in a spectacular fashion. Blue and the ''T. Rex'' exchange a respectable look, then head off into the night. The group make their way to the visitor area of the park; Zach and Gray are reunited with their parents, while Owen and Claire leave together.

On March 15, 2013 ''Universal'' officially announced that [[Colin Trevorrow]] was appointed as the director for ''Jurassic Park IV''. On September 11, 2013, Universal announced that the film's title would be ''Jurassic World'', rather than ''Jurassic Park IV''.

*In September 2004, screenwriter [[John Sayles]] was re-writing the script, while the film's new release was set for winter 2005.
+
*In October 2004, paleontologist [[Jack Horner]] said he would return as technical adviser for the fourth film as he had done for previous ''Jurassic Park'' films.
+
*Sayles's story was about a new character, Nick Harris, who returns to [[Isla Nublar (Movie canon)|Isla Nublar]], and retrieves [[Dennis Nedry]]'s can with dinosaur embryo's. He is captured by the Grendel corporation, which now owns InGen, and he is hired to train five creatures that could be called "di-hu-ogs". These creatures are born from a mix of DNA from dinosaurs, humans and dogs. They are created to carry guns and would be used as mercenaries. A leaked screenplay of the film was released online.
−
===Production===
+
===2005===
+
*In April 2005, special effects artist Stan Winston explained that the delay in production was due to repeated revisions of the film's script, none of which satisfied Spielberg. Winston stated, "He felt neither of [the drafts] balanced the science and adventure elements effectively. It's a tough compromise to reach, as too much science will make the movie too talky, but too much adventure will make it seem hollow."
*In 2006, Universal started a new ''JP IV'' project.
+
*In February 2006, producer Frank Marshall said filming would begin in 2007 for a 2008 release.
+
+
===2007===
+
*March 2007: Sam Neill confirmed he was not asked to reprise his role as Alan Grant. Laura Dern, on the other hand, was asked to return as Ellie Sattler. Joe Johnston was not going to direct the film. Richard Attenborough and Jeff Goldblum were also contacted to reprise their respective roles of Hammond and Malcolm.
+
+
===2008===
+
*Summer: Joe Johnston comments the new story was unlike the old ones before it.
+
*December: It was announced by producer {{w|Kathleen_Kennedy_film_producer|Kathleen Kennedy}} that they are no longer interested in the film series. She stated "Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to happen," said Kennedy. "I really think that with [[Michael Crichton]]'s passing, that'll be it for the series."
+
+
===2009===
+
*In November 2009, Joe Johnston was interviewed by ''Ain't It Cool News'' and one part was about ''JPIV''.<ref>[http://www.aintitcool.com/node/42999 Harry claws to learn from Joe Johnston on WOLFMAN set!!! ], aintitcool.com.</ref> He stated that there was a good story for ''JPIV'' now:
+
+
'''Harry''': Speaking of ''JURASSIC PARK'', are you thinking of heading into that fourth one after this?
+
+
'''Joe Johnston:''' Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it’s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.
+
+
'''Harry:''' Another movie about a group of people struggling to survive a dinosaur attack is…
+
+
'''Joe Johnston:''' We’ve done that and it’s been done three times and I figure it’s…
+
+
'''Harry:''' Stay away from that island. Don’t go there!
+
+
'''Joe Johnston''': Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that level it’s sort of about studios and Steven’s thing and who knows. I think we are at that point where we are due for another one if we are going to do it. They had what four years between them? 1992… 1996 or 1997, and then 2001, so we are past due. I don’t know, but we will see.
+
+
===2010===
+
*'''January:''' In January 2010, in an interview with Joe Johnson, he stated that there will be a ''Jurassic Park IV'', and it will be unlike anything you've seen before. It will be the beginning of the second ''Jurassic Park'' trilogy. The film may not take place on any of the islands.<ref>[http://www.boxofficemagazine.com/articles/2010-01-exclusive-captain-america-jp4-news?q=Jurassic+Park+IV EXCLUSIVE: 'Captain America' & 'JP4' News], boxoffice.com.</ref>
+
+
The internet is freaking out that there might be a ''Jurassic Park IV''.
+
+
'''Joe:''' Wow, when did that happen?''
+
+
''November-you mentioned to Ain't It Cool that there might be a good script.''
+
+
'''Joe:''' ''Did I tell him? Was it me?''
+
+
''You said that there was no way to get people back on the island for a fourth time and have it make sense, but that 2001 was the last installment and we're due.''
+
+
'''Joe:''' ''Well, there is going to be a ''Jurassic Park IV''. And it's going to be unlike anything you've seen. It breaks away from the first three-it's essentially the beginning of the second ''Jurassic Park'' trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way. That's pretty much all I can tell you.''
+
+
''A second trilogy?''
+
+
'''Joe:''' ''If you think of the first three as a trilogy, number four would be the beginning of a second trilogy.''
+
+
''That's big. So not to lock you in, but there's a possibility there might be a total of six films?''
+
+
'''Joe:''' ''Well, you never know. If they keep working-and if audiences keep going to them-there's no reason why there wouldn't be. We just want to make them justified in their own right. We don't want to make sequel after sequel just because there's a market for it. We want to tell different, interesting stories. You don't want to just sell hamburger.''

*'''October:''' JPToys.com forum member 'DemonCarnotaur' went to the [http://www.vertpaleo.org/meetings/index.cfm 70th Anniversary Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology] (SVP), which was held in Pittsburgh (USA) at October 10–13. Herepaleontologists from across the world gather to give presentations in which to share their findings, and meet colleagues and fans. DemonCarnotaur got the chance to speak to the adviser on the ''Jurassic Park'' films, [[Jack Horner]], and asked the popular question - "What's the deal with ''JP4''?"
+
+
The response of Jack Horner was very disappointing:
+
+
:''"It's dead, at least for now. We were working on it, but things weren't happening soon enough. Anyways, its a Universal film, and Speilberg is with Disney right now. So until Speilberg gets back with Universal its dead. Hopefully it will be made eventually though!"''
+
+
He went on to say that:
+
+
:::"Well, ''JP4'' wasn't a grand finale really...it was...well... Well the script focused a lot on genetics, I can say that. But things may change if it does ever happen."<ref>[http://dinodan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Movie_Talk&action=display&thread=5273 JPToys treat].</ref>

[[File:JP4 shooting.jpg|thumb|Jurassic Park IV Shooting.]]
+
On January 9, 2011, [http://www.themeparkadventure.com/ Theme Park Adventure Magazine] uploaded a picture on twitter (look [http://twitpic.com/3okpss here]) showing the '''Daily Shooting Schedule''' at [[Universal Studios]]. It shows that on that day shots for ''Jurassic Park 4'' were made at Stage 7.10,12,14. One would think a fraud can't temper with a board like this. TPAMagazine also wrote a story on their site about their visit:
+
+
''First of all, the image is legitimate. We went to Universal Studios Hollywood this weekend for a birthday trip for Rick - not to scoop what could be the hottest entertainment-related tweet around. And certainly not to doctor a photograph to read ''Jurassic Park''. Besides, other sites have gone and have produced the same image with their own cameras. It is indeed, legitimate.''
+
[[File:JPIV shooting.jpg|thumb|Is JP4 happening behind that blue screen?]]
+
After they uploaded their picture an avalanche of tweets and postings on other theme park and ''Jurassic Park'' fan sites were popping up all over the Internet.
+
+
Some other people went to the studio's and confirmed that the board was real. However Universal had always denied that ''Jurassic Park 4'' was in production (above). Nothing at Universal Studio's suggested that ''Jurassic Park'' shoots were made.
+
However, TPAMagazine did note that at the Falls Lake area (which has been used for previous Jurassic Park films) a huge blue screen set. Their tour guide stated that it was going to be used for a "top-secret huge blockbuster".
+
+
That same week Jack de la Mare said he spoke to the Vice President of Corporate Communications for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and she confirmed (after seeing the images of the board), that there is no shooting of ''Jurassic Park 4'':

*November 25th: The official trailer for ''Jurassic World'' is released on Youtube.
Set 22 years after the original Jurassic Park, Jurassic World revolves around a functional theme park featuring dinosaurs, which is then thrown into chaos when a genetic hybrid known as the Indominus rex escapes containment.
Jurassic World was distributed by Universal Studios, alongside Legendary Entertainment. Jurassic World was released on June 12, 2015, exactly 22 years after Jurassic Park. The film was a box office and critical success, grossing $1.671 billion worldwide, making it both the highest grossing film in the franchise and was the third highest-grossing film of all time at the time of its release (behind Avatar and Titanic). It is currently the sixth highest-grossing film of all time (behind Avengers: Endgame, Avatar, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War).[1]
Jurassic World is the first in a planned trilogy of Jurassic World films, and was followed by a sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which was released on June 22, 2018. A second sequel, Jurassic World: Dominion is set to be released on June 11, 2021.
The film starts with two dinosaurs hatching from their eggs. The scene changes to Zach and his younger brother Gray being sent by their parents to Isla Nublar, which has a functioning theme park dubbed "Jurassic World", over the Christmas holidays.
Zach and Gray later arrive at Isla Nublar by ferry where they are found by Zara, the assistant of Claire Dearing, the boys' aunt and operations manager of Jurassic World. Claire is busy convincing visiting investors that the new attraction, a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur by the name of Indominus rex, will increase the park's profits. Claire only sees the boys in the Innovation Center shortly before she has to return to her next meeting, promising to meet them for dinner and spending the next day with them. Zara is assigned to keep company with the boys.
Claire meets with the owner of the park, Simon Masrani. Masrani, who is close to getting his pilot's license, flies himself and Claire (somewhat clumsily) to the new Indominus rex Paddock. As Claire gives detail on the hybrid, Masrani is surprised to know that she is white. Though he is somewhat shocked when Claire reveals that the I. rex cannibalized its own sibling, Masrani is impressed by the new dinosaur. However, he advises Claire to let Owen Grady inspect the paddock for vulnerabilities that the engineers may have overlooked.
Owen is an ex-Navy member, working in Jurassic World by studying the behavior of the park's four Velociraptors; the beta, named Blue, Delta, Echo, and Charlie. Having trained the raptors to follow some of his commands, he is described as the "alpha" of the pack. Vic Hoskins, leader of InGen's Security Division, thinks the raptors show potential for military applications, much to the disgust of Owen. However, a near-fatal encounter by an amateur worker shows the raptors are not tamed.
Claire meets Owen at his trailer and requests his help evaluating in the paddock of the Indominus. After giving Claire a hard time over an earlier failed date, Owen agrees to examine the paddock. However, the animal appears to have disappeared from the paddock; She can't be seen and there is no sign of her on thermal imaging. Owen spots some claw marks on the wall that weren't there before, concluding that the I. rex has escaped by climbing over the enclosure's wall. Claire rides back to the control room to see where the I. rex's tracking device says it is. Owen, Nick Letting and Nick Kilgore go into the paddock to investigate the clawed wall. In the control room, workers Lowery Cruthers and Vivian Krill see that the I. rex is still in the paddock. After being notified of this, Owen and the I. rex paddock workers try to escape. Suddenly, the I. rex reappears, eating Kilgore and breaks through the gate. Owen barely escapes by hiding underneath a vehicle and spraying himself with gasoline to mask his scent. However, Letting is eaten.
Claire sends the Asset Containment Unit (ACU) to take the I. rex down. They are carrying non-lethal weapons because the I. rex is too expensive to harm. ACU Commander Katashi Hamada discovers that the I. rex has clawed out her tracking implant and spots the hybrid too late because she can camouflage herself. Hamada and a majority of the squad are either killed or eaten, with only a lucky few survive without serious injuries. Claire chooses to close every attraction north of the resort while Owen advocates evacuating the island immediately. Shortly afterward, she gets a call from her sister, who is resentful that Claire is not spending quality time with Zach and Gray.
Meanwhile, Zach and Gray have left Zara to watch the Mosasaurus Feeding Show. While on the park's monorail, Gray feels devastated; when Zach asks what is wrong Gray informs him that their parents are getting a divorce as they've both been receiving mail from two different divorce attorneys. Zach informs Gray to grow up and that in a couple years, he'd be leaving their parents anyway. The boys arrive at the Gyrosphere ride and travel the valley, seeing many of the dinosaurs roaming free. Despite being ordered to return to the station, Zach sees that one of the fence's gates has been left destroyed (done by the Indominus) and can't help but leave the enclosed area and enter the forest. They see a group of Ankylosaurus, but then the I. rex camouflages itself again, and sneaks up behind them and attacks them viciously. The Indominus battles and kills an Ankylosaur as the boys flee, barely escaping the hybrid's jaws by jumping over a waterfall.
Claire finds Owen, so he can help her find her nephews. They arrive at the Gyrosphere attraction and discover that the Indominus has gruesomely killed several Apatosauruses without eating them; Owen concludes from this that the hybrid is killing for sport. They then find the destroyed Gyrosphere. Zach and Gray find the old Jurassic ParkVisitor Center - now derelict and overgrown. They manage to repair an old Jurassic Park jeep and drive it back to the park.
As they are leaving, Claire and Owen hear their departure and try to get one of the jeeps started themselves but before they can the Indominus arrives and attacks them, they barely escape with the Indominus close behind, but she is distracted by a helicopter overhead. Masrani has outfitted his helicopter with two officers and a GE M134 Minigun and attacks the Indominus, the guards in Masrani's helicopter try to shoot the I. rex; to no avail. The I. rex breaks through the wall of the aviary and the pterosaurs escape. Owen and Claire horrifically watch the pterosaurs attack Masrani's chopper, causing it to crash, killing Masrani and the two personnel.
When the boys reach the northern security wall, they see that a swarm of Pterosaurs is following them. After arriving in Main Street, Zara finds the two children, only to be snatched up by a Pteranodon and dropped into the Jurassic World Lagoon where the Mosasaurus eats her and an attacking Pteranodon. Claire and Owen arrive and Owen and the ACU begin shooting down the animals, Owen is attacked by a Dimorphodon but Claire saves him. They share a kiss as Zach and Gray arrive and are reunited with their aunt.
InGen's Private Security Division, led by Vic Hoskins, takes control of the park after the death of Masrani and places InGen's private security force in charge of the park, he plans to use the raptors to hunt the I. rex; although Owen initially declines, claiming that they should handle the situation his way, he reluctantly agrees when threatened. They release the raptors and follow them into the jungle, where they locate the hybrid. Unexpectedly, the hybrid communicates with the raptors, which causes Owen to realize that she was made with Velociraptor DNA. The raptors turn on the soldiers while the Indominus escapes. Owen finds Charlie and she seems to recognize him, but she is killed by a rocket. The soldiers flee and Barry hides in a log while Blue attempts to eat him, but Owen distracts her and she chases after him as he leaves on his motorbike.
Claire, Zach, and Gray are waiting in a Veterinary vehicle when a soldier appears and is killed by Delta while trying to open the back doors. Echo attacks Claire through the window of the truck but falls out, and Zach and Gray manage to electrocute Delta when she jumps into the truck. Owen reappears and they head back to the resort while the raptors follow their new alpha.
The four humans find Hoskins in the genetics lab attempting to evacuate himself from the facility. He explains how he secretly manipulated the Masrani company to create the Indominus so that, at a fraction of the size, it would be used as a military weapon instead of a stationary park attraction. Delta suddenly appears and corners Hoskins. Hoskins tries to calm her but to no avail, and she eats him instead. The four escape the Innovation center, but end up cornered outside by Blue, Delta, and Echo. Owen manages to reestablish his connection with them and when the I. rex arrives, Owen and the raptors attack her, although the raptors are all seemingly killed. Realizing they do not have the "teeth" to defeat the powerful hybrid, they resort to one final option: Claire calls Lowery and tells him to open the T. rex's paddock, luring the park's old veteran Tyrannosaurus rex into a fight with the Indominus. She has the upper hand for a moment, but then she is overpowered, and thrown to the ground. However, before the Indominus can kill her, Blue, who's still alive from being knocked into a wall, attacks the Indominus, giving the T. rex time to wake up. The Indominus rex, who has no chance to fight back, flails wildly. Then out of nowhere, the T. rex gets back up from the ground and chomps onto her neck. The T. rex and Blue battle the Indominus, cornering her in front of the Mosasaurus Lagoon. Just as the Indominus recovers, the Mosasaurus bursts out of the water and drags the hybrid underwater where the marine reptile finishes her in a spectacular fashion. Blue and the T. rex exchange a respectable look, then head off into the night. The group make their way to the visitor area of the park; Zach and Gray are reunited with their parents, while Owen and Claire leave together.
On the now-abandoned Isla Nublar, the T. rex walks up to the helipad, surveys the destruction, looks out over the park, and lets out a powerful, bellowing roar, claiming the island as hers once again and ending the film.
B.D. Wong: Dr. Henry Wu, geneticist responsible for creating Jurassic World's dinosaurs, years after handling the creatures from the original Jurassic Park.
In June 2002 (only a year after JPIII), Ayse Myhre told Starlog magazine that he planned to produce Jurassic Park IV, and Joe Johnston planned to direct the third sequel. Since then, many rumors about Jurassic Park IV have been heard from Universal.
2004
Early concept art.
Early concept art.
In September 2004, screenwriter John Sayles was re-writing the script, while the film's new release was set for winter 2005.
In October 2004, paleontologist Jack Horner said he would return as technical adviser for the fourth film as he had done for previous Jurassic Park films.
Sayles's story was about a new character, Nick Harris, who returns to Isla Nublar, and retrieves Dennis Nedry's can with dinosaur embryo's. He is captured by the Grendel corporation, which now owns InGen, and he is hired to train five creatures that could be called "di-hu-ogs". These creatures are born from a mix of DNA from dinosaurs, humans and dogs. They are created to carry guns and would be used as mercenaries. A leaked screenplay of the film was released online.
2005
In April 2005, special effects artist Stan Winston explained that the delay in production was due to repeated revisions of the film's script, none of which satisfied Spielberg. Winston stated, "He felt neither of [the drafts] balanced the science and adventure elements effectively. It's a tough compromise to reach, as too much science will make the movie too talky, but too much adventure will make it seem hollow."
2006
In 2006, Universal started a new JP IV project.
In February 2006, producer Frank Marshall said filming would begin in 2007 for a 2008 release.
2007
March 2007: Sam Neill confirmed he was not asked to reprise his role as Alan Grant. Laura Dern, on the other hand, was asked to return as Ellie Sattler. Joe Johnston was not going to direct the film. Richard Attenborough and Jeff Goldblum were also contacted to reprise their respective roles of Hammond and Malcolm.
2008
Summer: Joe Johnston comments the new story was unlike the old ones before it.
December: It was announced by producer Kathleen Kennedy that they are no longer interested in the film series. She stated "Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to happen," said Kennedy. "I really think that with Michael Crichton's passing, that'll be it for the series."
2009
In November 2009, Joe Johnston was interviewed by Ain't It Cool News and one part was about JPIV.[2] He stated that there was a good story for JPIV now:
Harry: Speaking of JURASSIC PARK, are you thinking of heading into that fourth one after this?
Joe Johnston: Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it’s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.
Harry: Another movie about a group of people struggling to survive a dinosaur attack is…
Joe Johnston: We’ve done that and it’s been done three times and I figure it’s…
Harry: Stay away from that island. Don’t go there!
Joe Johnston: Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that level it’s sort of about studios and Steven’s thing and who knows. I think we are at that point where we are due for another one if we are going to do it. They had what four years between them? 1992… 1996 or 1997, and then 2001, so we are past due. I don’t know, but we will see.
2010
January: In January 2010, in an interview with Joe Johnson, he stated that there will be a Jurassic Park IV, and it will be unlike anything you've seen before. It will be the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. The film may not take place on any of the islands.[3]
The internet is freaking out that there might be a Jurassic Park IV.
Joe: Wow, when did that happen?
November-you mentioned to Ain't It Cool that there might be a good script.
Joe:Did I tell him? Was it me?
You said that there was no way to get people back on the island for a fourth time and have it make sense, but that 2001 was the last installment and we're due.
Joe:Well, there is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. And it's going to be unlike anything you've seen. It breaks away from the first three-it's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way. That's pretty much all I can tell you.
A second trilogy?
Joe:If you think of the first three as a trilogy, number four would be the beginning of a second trilogy.
That's big. So not to lock you in, but there's a possibility there might be a total of six films?
Joe:Well, you never know. If they keep working-and if audiences keep going to them-there's no reason why there wouldn't be. We just want to make them justified in their own right. We don't want to make sequel after sequel just because there's a market for it. We want to tell different, interesting stories. You don't want to just sell hamburger.
October: JPToys.com forum member 'DemonCarnotaur' went to the 70th Anniversary Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP), which was held in Pittsburgh (USA) at October 10–13. Herepaleontologists from across the world gather to give presentations in which to share their findings, and meet colleagues and fans. DemonCarnotaur got the chance to speak to the adviser on the Jurassic Park films, Jack Horner, and asked the popular question - "What's the deal with JP4?"
The response of Jack Horner was very disappointing:
"It's dead, at least for now. We were working on it, but things weren't happening soon enough. Anyways, its a Universal film, and Speilberg is with Disney right now. So until Speilberg gets back with Universal its dead. Hopefully it will be made eventually though!"
He went on to say that:
"Well, JP4 wasn't a grand finale really...it was...well... Well the script focused a lot on genetics, I can say that. But things may change if it does ever happen."[4]
2011
Jurassic Park IV Shooting.
On January 9, 2011, Theme Park Adventure Magazine uploaded a picture on twitter (look here) showing the Daily Shooting Schedule at Universal Studios. It shows that on that day shots for Jurassic Park 4 were made at Stage 7.10,12,14. One would think a fraud can't temper with a board like this. TPAMagazine also wrote a story on their site about their visit:
First of all, the image is legitimate. We went to Universal Studios Hollywood this weekend for a birthday trip for Rick - not to scoop what could be the hottest entertainment-related tweet around. And certainly not to doctor a photograph to read Jurassic Park. Besides, other sites have gone and have produced the same image with their own cameras. It is indeed, legitimate.
Is JP4 happening behind that blue screen?
After they uploaded their picture an avalanche of tweets and postings on other theme park and Jurassic Park fan sites were popping up all over the Internet.
Some other people went to the studio's and confirmed that the board was real. However Universal had always denied that Jurassic Park 4 was in production (above). Nothing at Universal Studio's suggested that Jurassic Park shoots were made.
However, TPAMagazine did note that at the Falls Lake area (which has been used for previous Jurassic Park films) a huge blue screen set. Their tour guide stated that it was going to be used for a "top-secret huge blockbuster".
That same week Jack de la Mare said he spoke to the Vice President of Corporate Communications for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and she confirmed (after seeing the images of the board), that there is no shooting of Jurassic Park 4:
"I don't know why it said that on Sunday. All I can tell you is no film is currently in the works and it's certainly not filming."[5]
June 16: Steven Spielberg spoke with writer Mark Protosevich in several meetings about resurrecting the film series. This would, a month later, turn into fruition.
July 18: (the 10 year anniversary of Jurassic Park III) Joe Johnston said about JPIV that "it starts with the history of the first trilogy, but it spins it off in a completely different direction."[6]
Spielberg confirms next Jurassic Park film - 2011 Comic-Con

July 22: Steven Spielberg said at Comic-Con San Diego that they are going to make a Jurassic Park IV, with 6,000 people to actually hear this.

July 24: it was officially confirmed that Universal Studios confirmed that the deadline for the film was in 2013.
2012
January: Steven Spielberg confirms he is not directing.
June 20: Mike Fleming wrote on deadline.com that Universal had hired new writers for JPIV. Indicating that Mark Protosevich won't be hired, and that the better-than-JPIII-story Spielberg mentioned won't be used. Instead, Universal hired Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, the script writers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The article also revealed the film will be produced (not directed) by Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy.[7]
July 20: Producer Frank Marshall states that Jurassic Park 4 is hoping to be released by Summer 2014, marking this as the new scheduled release date for the film. Frank Marshall also confirms the film's status as a sequel and not as a prequel, reboot, or remake of the franchise.[8]
January 11: Universal announced that Jurassic Park IV is going to be released on June 13, 2014. This is the first official release date the film has received.
March 15: Colin Trevorrow is officially announced as the director for Jurassic Park IV. Trevorrow has grown up with and enjoyed the first three Jurassic Park films
