Hold Your Dinosaurs!

By John Freeman on 23 August 2007 • ( 1 )

Although we now know T-Rex might have actually caught up with that landrover in Jurassic Park (it could certainly have iutrun most of the England football team based on last night’s performance), we don’t know any more about the next film in the series. It seems it’s time to squash some rumours that Steve Spielberg’s Jurassic Park 4 is heading into production, according to SpielbergFilms.com.

The website reports that Amblin Entertainment, Spielberg’s co-producers on the Jurassic Park movies, tells them the rumours are “unfounded,” and that casting has not begun, “as the story and screenplay are still in development.”

And don’t even think about casting because despite talk of return visits by Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern, Amblin says “the property is still not ready to move forward toward production and no casting is taking place.”
