Colin Trevorrow Reveals \'Jurassic World 2\' Story To Be Based On Quote From \'Jurassic Park\'

\'Jurassic World\', the sequel/reboot of the \'Jurassic Park\' franchise was one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer, setting a new record with the biggest global opening ever. Now, director Colin Trevorrow has begun the business of starting the hype train for the upcoming sequel, by revealing some new details about \'Jurassic World 2\'s story.

The director dropped the details during a podcast interview called the Jurassic Cast. He first revealed that his team actually envisioned the reboot as a trilogy from the very beginning and that a quote from the original \'Jurassic Park\' served as the starting point.

"I did look at it as a trilogy from the very beginning and we designed the whole thing that way," he said. "Honestly? The trilogy is articulated in \'Jurassic Park.\' \'Jurassic World is all based on Ian Malcom\'s quote, "You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you knew what you had, you\'d packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox and now you want to sell it." That to me IS \'Jurassic World.\' That’s why I had all the product placement, that’s what it was. The second one — “Jurassic World 2” — we tried to find the foundation: “dinosaurs and man separated by 65 million years of evolution have been thrown back into the mix together. How can we know what to expect?” That’s me paraphrasing. That’s why it\'s exciting the movie did well. That leaves us a lot of room to run. Now that [\'Jurassic World\'] did well, we get to play that out.

Trevorrow reiterated that stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will return for the sequel and that Howard\'s character Claire will remain the central character of the trilogy. He also said that fans shouldn\'t worry about him turning \'Jurassic World 2\' into a "monster movie" like what happened with \'The Lost World.\' 

"We made [“Jurassic World”] with the fans very much in mind and I’m not going to forget that. But we’ve seen a lot of ‘dinosaurs chasing people around on an island’ movies. And I think you guys and the general audience are going to be down to explore where else we can go. Owen is going to be in it, Claire is in it and neither are going to be in the same place we left them in the first movie."

Jurassic World 2\' is slated for a summer 2018 release.
