Producer Frank Marshall has confirmed that principal photography on the Jurassic World sequel, now known to be titled Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, wraps up this week.
The Fallen Kingdom cast and crew, when asked during interviews, have been keen to emphasize that the Jurassic World sequel will be scarier than its predecessor – thanks in no small amount to the involvement of Bayona, an acclaimed filmmaker whose body of work includes the horror film The Orphanage and TV show Penny Dreadful, as well as the survival thriller The Impossible.
Also returning to the Jurassic Park movie series for Fallen Kingdom is Jeff Goldblum, reprising his role as the mathematician/chaotician Ian Malcolm for the first time in twenty years (following his last appearance in 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park).
Marshall, Fallen Kingdom director J.A. Bayona and co-screenwriter Colin Trevorrow (who directed the first Jurassic World) have all been keeping fans up-to-speed with developments on the new dinosaur adventure, via social media posts – updates that range from the official Fallen Kingdom poster/title confirmation to videos of Bayona bringing “practical effect” dinosaurs to life.
