New ‘Jurassic World’ Film In The Works From David Koepp, But Chris Pratt & Co. Are Not Expected To Star

Brent Lang Executive Editor Universal is down a director for its next “Jurassic World” installment after negotiations with David Leitch went the way of the dinosaur. The parting is said to be amicable. However, the breakdown in talks leaves the studio in search of a new filmmaker to take over one of its most popular franchises.

doesn't start 'til Emily Ratajkowski walks in.The model, who is a regular during fashion month, made her first appearance of the season at Hourglass Cosmetics' Manhattan lipstick launch on February 9, where she debuted a chic short haircut—and even shorter dress . How do I know, aside from Getty Images? I was there! And the first thing I noticed was how noticeably short Ratajkwoski’s hair was…and how familiar the cut looked.The midi lob cut has been spotted on everyone from to so far in 2024.

It looks like David Leitch‘s next film after “The Fall Guy” won’t be a new “Jurassic World” after all. Deadline reports that Universal is looking for new director for their franchise reboot after talks between the studio and Leitch fell through.

EXCLUSIVE: Universal is back on the search for a director to helm its next Jurassic World movie as Deadline is hearing David Leitch is no longer in talks to direct the film. Insiders say the parting was amicable and that ultimately the studio and Leitch had different visions for the film.

While Chad Stahelski has been content to stay in the “John Wick” universe ever since he launched the franchise in 2014, his co-director David Leitch has done anything but stay planted. Having already directed five movies since—running the gambit of franchises among them like “Deadpool 2,” “Hobbes And Shaw” and this summer’s “The Fall Guy”—for his next magic trick, stunt director turned filmmaker David Leitch will be turning his attention to the new “Jurassic World” trilogy that Universal is very bullish on.

Now that Steven Soderbergh’s three-year overall deal with HBO is over, he’s free to work with any studio he chooses. And the filmmaker is doing just that, in his usual workaholic way, as Deadline reports that Focus Features outbid everyone for “Black Dog,” Soderbergh’s upcoming spy thriller with Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender.

another “Jurassic Park” movie on the way courtesy of original “JP” screenwriter David Koepp, according to People and the Hollywood Reporter.Koepp, who also write the original’s sequel, “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” will come up with a new storyline for the fabled franchise, which has grossed over $1 billion worldwide, according to the report.Steven Spielberg will board the project as an executive producer along with Patrick Crowley and Frank Marshall.There are no details about casting or the plot at this point in time.The project is coming along so nicely that the studio “is whispering” about a possible 2025 release date, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news.The new movie is likely to revolve around an all-new storyline, so it’s unclear if “Jurassic World” stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard would be back — and it “seems” that characters played by Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldlbum would not appear, according to THR.Pratt, who starred in the “Jurassic World” trilogy, seemed to deflate talk of another movie during a 2022 appearance on the “Today” show to promote “Jurassic World: Dominion,” which followed the events of “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” (2018).“This is the sixth ‘Jurassic’ film, and it’s the end of the franchise,” he said … “You got the legacy cast back — Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum — plus the cast of ‘Jurassic World,’ all our storylines converging in a way that is very much a finale.”But never say never, especially for such a powerhouse movie franchise.The reaction of fans on social media was mixed regarding the new movie.“I’m a total slut for the Jurassic films.

Jurassic World continues to expand!

We’ve confirmed that a new Jurassic World movie, a complete reboot, is being fast-tracked at Universal with the franchise’s original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. He adapted the first two movies from 1993 and 1997’s The Lost World from Michael Crichton’s novels.

Just because “Jurassic World Dominion” earned the lowest box office total of the new ‘World’ trilogy (still at $1 billion, though), you didn’t think we’d be done with the ‘Jurassic’ franchise, did you? Silly reader, of course not! Two years after ‘Dominion’ served as a sort-of, kind-of ending of both ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Jurassic World’ franchises, it appears Universal is full steam ahead on a new ‘Jurassic’ adventure.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer Universal’s dinosaurs are far from extinct.

Since returning from his announced retirement from feature filmmaking, Steven Soderbergh has been on a tear of productivity unmatched since the heyday of Hollywood’s studio system. His quickie projects might feel like slight exercises in style or storytelling, but they have never felt disposable.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh and penned by David Koepp, the haunting psychological thriller Presence follows a fractured family as a mysterious supernatural force infiltrates their new home that has taken interest in their daughter Chloe. The film is written by David Koepp and stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Eddy Maday, West Mulholland, and Julia Fox.An unsettling presence permeates the home of Chris (Sullivan) and Ruth (Liu)  before they even move in. This supernatural entity is a witness to the family’s most vulnerable moments. It has a particular focus on the couple’s young daughter Chloe (Liang), who is always at odds with her mother and Brother Tyler (Maday). However, the young girl is in mourning because of her two girls, one of them her best friend Nadia, died recently.  

Well, the Steven Soderbergh/David Koepp relationship continues. After writing the surveillance thriller, “Kimi” and the upcoming ghost movie “Presence” which will premiere at Sundance soon, screenwriter David Koepp (“Jurassic Park,” “Carlito’s Way”) has penned yet another film for director Steven Soderbergh.
