Jurassic World 4: Returning To Jurassic Park Roots?

After Dominion, Jurassic World 4 has to return to basics.

While the Jurassic World trilogy was financially successful, the most recent movie the franchise produced turned out to be the worst regarded film critically. Reviewers of Jurassic World Dominion objected to the film's imbalanced narrative and startling lack of examination of the idea laid up at the conclusion of Fallen Kingdom. Dinosaurs at last emerging into the world at the end of that film sets up an adventure worthy of the movie's title.

On the other hand, Jurassic World Dominion is not very eager in investigating what it would imply if humans and Dinosaurs were really compelled to coexist. The movie got a meager 29% on Rotten Tomatoes for this and other reasons. Apart from only needing a course correction following the last film, the Jurassic World Dominion finale also leaves little space for the franchise to expand, therefore returning to a more limited tale could be the appropriate action.

Jurassic World 4 Story Update Teases Return to Jurassic Park Roots

A fresh narrative update for Jurassic World 4 hints at a return to the Jurassic Park origins of the franchise. Following two Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster sequel, the hit dinosaur series underwent a subtle relaunch in 2015, introducing viewers to fresh characters and a larger theme. With Scarlett Johansson slated to feature opposite Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, and Jonathan Bailey among others, Gareth Edwards is directing what has been termed as something of another soft relaunch for the franchise as Jurassic World 4 moves ahead.

According to a recent Variety article, Jurassic World 4 will have a concept more akin to Jurassic Park. Promoted as "a completely fresh take launching a new Jurassic era, following three adults and three teens getting stuck on the Island," the new movie The paper also notes that the movie has been referred to as "Jurassic World 4" and "Jurassic City," implying a possible title change is on route. Now the next sequel is scheduled to be shot in the United Kingdom, Malta, and Thailand.

Why Still Relevant Today The Original Jurassic Park Is?

Still regarded as the best entry in the series, the original Jurassic Park is a model of how to employ dinosaurs to produce suspenseful, exciting, and captivating narrative.

Interestingly, Michael Crichton's book served as the basis for the first Jurassic Park, and Spielberg put great effort to translate the core of the work onto film. Though other spinoffs and sequels followed the popularity of the movie, the original is still the most adored.

Jurassic World 4 is rebooting the series, hence this "New era" can correct one main character error from the first Jurassic Park.

Given David Koepp, the original movie writer, is returning to draft the Jurassic World 4 script, this basic strategy makes logical. With a great cast and Edwards' directing cuts, the next movie has the power to provide a small-scale exciting and intense narrative. Though personal tastes will differ, the original Jurassic Park is still generally regarded as the best entrance in the series, and Jurassic World 4 now seems ready to rekindle some of that charm.

The eighth Jurassic Park movie, Jurassic World 4 carries on the tale of Jurassic World: Dominion. Written by David Koepp, Jurassic World 4 marks the start of a new Jurassic franchise era.
