Jurassic World Rebirth takes place five years after the events of filmmaker Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World Dominion, the series’ previous installment that hit theaters in June 2022 and starred Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Jurassic Park returnees Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill. The film franchise launched in 1993 with Steven Spielberg’s smash Jurassic Park, based on author Michael Crichton’s 1990 science fiction novel of the same name.
In the new movie, only a limited number of dinosaurs remain and live in specialized biospheres, and three of these creatures hold the key to a potentially life-saving drug. Covert operations expert Zora Bennett (Johansson) attempts to secure the genetic material from the dinosaurs but ends up stranded with a civilian family on an island that holds a secret being kept from humanity for decades.
Edwards (Rogue One) directs Jurassic World Rebirth from a script by David Koepp, who worked on Jurassic Park and its 1997 sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The new movie is based on characters created by Crichton.
Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, who have both been longtime forces in the Jurassic franchise, produce Jurassic World Rebirth. Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer serve as executive producers.
This new film will hit theaters nearly three years after the initial Jurassic World trilogy concluded with the release of Dominion. Beginning with Jurassic World in 2015, each of those three movies has surpassed $1 billion at the global box office.
The first images from Jurassic World Rebirth can be seen above.
