Universal Pictures announced that the upcoming Jurassic 4 will be given a different title of Jurassic World, according to E! Online.
The film which is set to be released in theaters June 12, 2015 will still be produced by Steven Spielberg. Colin Trevorrow will be the new director. Trevorrow was the director of the buzzy sci-fi indie film Safety Not Guaranteed.
Jurassic World will be featured in high-quality 3D entertainment but no information about the plot and casting has been disclosed. However, it has been confirmed that the film will take place on Isla Nublar, the island where the original Jurassic Park was set, according to Independent.
Original stars Richard Attenborough and Jeff Goldblum are rumored to return to their parts as John Hammond and Dr Ian Malcolm, although nothing has been confirmed by Universal. Filming for Jurassic World was scheduled to begin in July 2013, but was postponed to allow Trevorrow and Connolly to work on an original draft by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.
It was also delayed to give Spielberg, who is an executive producer, enough time to give notes on the revised script, according to Variety. The film's new 2015 release comes in a competitive year for blockbusters, with the new Batman-Superman film, the next installment of the Star Wars franchise and Avengers: Age of Ultron all due for release.
The Jurassic Park franchise has grossed $1.9 billion at the box office worldwide since the first film installment was released in 1993.
