Jurassic World
Jurassic World is a 2015 American science fiction action film. It is the fourth installment in the Jurassic Park franchise and the first in the Jurassic World trilogy. Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ty Simpkins, along with Derek Connolly and Trevorrow in The Story of Jaffa and Silver, directed by Colin Trevorrow, written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver and produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, Nick Robinson, Omar Sy, BD Wong, and Irrfan Khan. Jurassic World is set 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, the same fictional island off Costa Rica's Pacific coast. A successful theme park of replica dinosaurs called Jurassic World has been operating on the island for many years, making John Hammond's dream come true. The park is thrown into chaos when a transgenic dinosaur escapes the fence and goes into chaos, and a conspiracy devised by park staff poses an even greater risk.
Universal Pictures was scheduled to begin production of a fourth Jurassic Park film in 2004 for a mid-2005 release, but was in development hell while the script was revised several times. At the suggestion of Executive Producer Steven Spielberg, writers Jaffa and Silver explored the idea of a functional dinosaur park. When Trevorrow was hired as a director in 2013, he followed the same thinking when developing a new script with Connolly. Filming took place in Louisiana and Hawaii from April to August 2014. The dinosaur was created by Industrial Light & Magic using CGI and Legacy Effects using life-size animatronics. Production ended in May 2015.
Jurassic World was released in the United States on June 12, 2015. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was voted the third highest-grossing film of all time, grossing $1.6 billion at the box office. It was the second highest-grossing film of 2015 and also the highest-grossing film in the franchise. Two sequels have been released: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and the upcoming Jurassic World Dominion (2022).
