TheJurassic Worldtrilogy followed up on theJurassic Parkfilms, taking fans to a seemingly successful version of the disastrous park of dinosaur clones attempted in the originals. While the first film in this new trilogy was a success, things went downhill, and the trilogy’sJurassic World: Dominionis seen as a metaphor for the franchise’s demise. However, a new film would be announced to reinvigorate the franchise. While nothing concrete was revealed about the film, rumors that it was based onEscape from New Yorkgained some traction online.
Returning to the present,Jurassic World 4found the perfect director in Gareth Edwards, and the rumors of the film having a vibe similar toEscape from New Yorkhave been refuted by insiders, leaving fans wanting clues about the plot and other details. These needs might have been met, as a new rumor from a trusted source might have revealed the name of the upcoming reboot. According to the formidableDaniel Richtmanvia his Patreon, the upcomingJurassic Worldsequel will be titledJurassic Cityand is set to begin filming in July against its 2025 release date, barring any changes to the schedule.
It’s been clear since the premiere ofDominionthatthe nextJurassic Worldneeds to make some drastic changes, and while there’s nothing concrete to go off of just yet, the proposed name for the upcoming reboot seems like a tentative step in the right direction. A flood of predictions and discussion will undoubtedly flow off the name alone, which at first glance promises a change of pace regarding the film’s setting. How this will translate from concept to execution will be interesting to see and might be a real risk coming off of what many will agree is the franchise’s all-time low point. The belief behind the scenes is likely that good management can revitalize the franchise, which could serve as an invaluable asset as the media landscape continues shifting.
It’s still too far out to know if this reboot will earn back some goodwill with fans for the franchise. While the initial success that saw the originalJurassic Parkeclipse its successful source materialand inspire a whole new paradigm in film is likely now out of reach, getting back to being well-regarded seems to be in the cards forJurassic World.
