“Jurassic World: Dominion” hit theaters this summer as a culmination of sorts for the franchise. For one, it marked an end to the trilogy Colin Trevorrow oversaw since 2015’s “Jurassic World.” But it also brought together “Jurassic Park” characters of old like Sam Neill‘s Alan Grant, Laura Dern‘s Ellie Sattler, and fan-favorite Jeff Goldblum‘s Ian Malcolm to tie up loose ends.

Several years ago, Colin Trevorrow was signed by Lucasfilm to write and direct ‘Episode IX’ of the “Star Wars” Skywalker Saga. The film was poised to be the finale of the previous eight films that were released by Lucasfilm dating back to the original feature from 1977. Unfortunately for Trevorrow, he didn’t stick around to write and direct the feature (though fans did seem to enjoy his leaked plans for the film).

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is busy at the moment filming two big Marvel blockbusters with “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” but has reportedly secured his next project and will be returning to the war genre in “War Magician.” He previously tackled it with “1917,” “War Horse,” and earning an Oscar nomination for the WWII drama “The Imitation Game.”

Next year, “Jurassic World: Dominion” is set to be released worldwide and act as the end of the second trilogy of ‘Jurassic Park’ films. And it also marks the return of Colin Trevorrow to the director’s chair after letting J.A. Bayona take over for ‘Fallen Kingdom.’ This sort of director changeover, where the middle chapter is helmed by someone different, might bring to mind another recent trilogy over in the “Star Wars” franchise.

Now that ‘Rise of Skywalker’ has been released on all platforms for what feels like 10 years already, the dust has settled on Disney’s “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, and we can maybe begin to take stock of what worked and what clearly didn’t. And we can also discuss what might have been, such as with the unmade ‘Episode 9,’ tentatively titled “The Duel of the Fates,” which is a story that actor John Boyega thinks could have better suited his character, Finn.

The theatrical moviegoing industry is all but over for 2020, “Wonder Woman 1984” and “Soul” still have theatrical release dates, but the botched COVID-19 response has essentially killed moviegoing as we know it—at least for 2020. But there’s a further cause and effect that is the domino-effect pile-up of releases crashing into 2021 and 2022 because of the 2020 delays. So, a film that could potentially be perfectly ready for summer 2021 is delaying by a year.

While he’s preparing to restart filming on “Jurassic World: Dominion” early next month, it appears that filmmaker Colin Trevorrow is already set to head to “Atlantis” next.

According to Deadline, Trevorrow has signed a deal with Universal for a new film titled “Atlantis” about the mythical continent of legend. However, unlike other Atlantis-based stories, Trevorrow’s film is a new take on the legend that he developed with writer Matt Charman.

When “Jurassic World” revived the Jurassic franchise and finally opened the part, it signaled the start of a trilogy, one that many assumed would end with Colin Trevorrow‘s “Jurassic World: Dominion” wrapping up the entire franchise. After all, the movie is bringing together the new cast with the likes of Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, signaling a crucial point in the story that brings the entire cast for one last adventure.

Much like the stories they present, the world of films is filled with some incredible legend and lore. There are stories of actors turning down roles that could have been huge. Studios passing on projects that could have been amazing. Directors trying to push up their passion project up a mountain. And so on. Normally, these stories take years to surface, they become mythic over time, and they paint an intriguing picture of what could have been.

Details of Colin Trevorrow’s “Star Wars: Episode IX” have leaked online—the intended version of the ‘Star Wars’ film that was scrapped before J.J Abrams’ “Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker” took over. Yes, this comprehensive script breakdown comes from a Reddit leak— the devoted group of r/StarWarsLeaks Subreddit— and nine out of ten times, Reddit is something you should avoid, and not print. But here’s the thing, this script leak, which actually comes from the filmmaker, DVD producer, and YouTuber Robert Meyer Burnett, and is broken down on Reddit, is real.

Yesterday, a report made the rounds, aiming to shed some light on what was originally going to happen in the version of “Star Wars: Episode IX” that filmmaker Colin Trevorrow was set to co-write and direct. Of course, we know that the filmmaker departed from the film and was replaced with JJ Abrams, with the latest film given the title ‘The Rise of Skywalker.’ The details of what was reported were shocking, to say the least, with fans flabbergasted at what was in the script.

For a prominent Hollywood director, there’s probably nothing worse than being publicly fired, removed, or replaced on a “Star Wars” movie, though the list of filmmakers on that list is relatively long and potentially growing.

Following the quit/firing of Josh Trank on a ‘Boba Fett’ film, the move-over replacement of Gareth Edwards on ‘Rogue One,’ and the firing of Lord and Miller from “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” Colin Trevorrow—coming off the billion-dollar hit of “Jurassic World,” but also the flop of “The Book Of Henry”—parted ways/was fired from “Star Wars: Episode IX.” J.J.

After his breakout directorial effort, “Safety Not Guaranteed,” it appeared that Colin Trevorrow had his pick of future projects. And though he hadn’t previously worked on blockbusters, the filmmaker quickly landed “Jurassic World” and then “Star Wars: Episode IX.” But well before those massive franchise films, the director was approached by Marvel Studios for a now-famous superhero project.

According to an interview with the Empire Film podcast, Trevorrow revealed that well before he began work on “Jurassic World,” he actually had a meeting with Marvel Studios and its president Kevin Feige about one of the studios’ future projects, “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Last week, Colin Trevorrow and FX tried to get folks glued to their TV screens by teasing a brand-new “Jurassic World” short film, titled ‘Battle at Big Rock.’ However, if you had something else to do last night, you probably missed it. Never fear, dino-loving film fan, we got you covered. Immediately after the short film debuted on FX, ‘Battle at Big Rock’ hit the internet, and now you can enjoy all eight-and-a-half minutes of “Jurassic World” goodness at your own leisure.

We’re not sure why, but apparently this weekend marks the debut of a new chapter in the “Jurassic World” franchise. No, this isn’t some surprise announcement of the third film in the blockbuster trilogy starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Instead, it appears that FX is set to debut a new short film based in the world established by the recent films.

According to filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, this weekend folks will be able to catch the premiere of the new “Jurassic World” short film, titled ‘Battle at Big Rock.’ He announced the film with the release of a new poster for the short, depicting what appears to be a sign you’d find at a zoo or some such location, asking people to not feed the wildlife, with the classic “Jurassic Park” logo.

If you’re a diehard “Star Wars” fan, then you’ve no doubt read tons and tons of first-hand reports of the latest Disneyland attraction, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. The newest “land” to invade Disney is a fully immersive trip to a galaxy far, far away, filled with Easter Eggs and references to the full library of “Star Wars” canon. But what you probably didn’t know is the fact that one of the biggest things you can see in Galaxy’s Edge is also something that will likely never be used in a “Star Wars” film.

When the first “Jurassic World” was announced, many assumed it would be the introduction of the dinosaurs from the original films to, you know, the world. What it ended up being is “Jurassic Park…Again.” Then when “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” was released earlier this year, fans thought that this was finally the time that dinosaurs begin to interact with the world. But, instead, what fans got was “Jurassic Mansion.” And now, with “Jurassic World 3” on the horizon, and the very end of ‘Fallen Kingdom’ showing that dinosaurs were finally interacting with the world, it wouldn’t be crazy to deduce that this is the film that shows dinosaurs in the city.

Yes, this may seem like clickbait, but we’re not misleading you at all, dear reader. Filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, who wrote and directed “The Book of Henry” and was hand-chosen (and subsequently dismissed from) to write and direct “Star Wars: Episode IX,” is now explaining why he thinks that ‘Henry’ is a “carbon copy” of “Star Wars.”

Now, before we get to the explanation, Trevorrow raised some eyebrows when there was an exchange between the filmmaker and writer Zack Stentz.

The “Jurassic Park“/”Jurassic World” franchise is well-known for recycling beloved characters in its sequels. ‘The Lost World‘ saw the return of Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) as a main character, and “Jurassic Park III” saw the return of Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) as a main character and Ellie (Laura Dern), for a brief cameo.

Guys, you have to remember that Colin Trevorrow is a human with feelings.

Even though it’s easy to put filmmakers and actors on a pedestal that makes them seem larger than life, these people still don’t like to see hate thrown their way. With that being said, Trevorrow has been one of the filmmakers hit the hardest with comments over the last year or so. His latest film, “The Book of Henry” was critically reviled and the butt of endless jokes.

2015’s “Jurassic World” featured an irresistible premise: the failed dinosaur theme park promised in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 original is finally realized, open and thriving. And the mega-popular, mega-profitable institution has become its own industrial complex fueling corporate greed, exploitation and the playing-with-fire dangers of genetic mutation. Though conceptually sound, the Colin Trevorrow-directed effort was a rather shabby effort at best, albeit one that surely pleased audience with its billion-dollar grosses.

What’s filmmaker Colin Trevorrow doing at the moment? Well, he co-wrote and directed a little film called “Jurassic World” last year that became the third highest grossing film of all time (now it’s fourth thanks to “‘Stars Wars: The Force Awakens’; but nothing to sneeze at). Making the movie all the more impressive is that it came on the heels of his directorial debut, the micro-budgeted Sundance indie and Independent Spirit Award winner “Safety Not Guaranteed.” If you want to talk successful indie leaps to blockbusters, Trevorrow’s jump was Evel Knievel-esque: it was one of the strongest, most daring, and record-breaking vaults in film history.

Well, this has been a longtime coming. First courted for “Jurassic World 2” last fall, J.A. Bayona was prevented because Paramount had an option on the filmmaker, and wanted him for “World War Z 2.” However, he’s still got “A Monster Calls” to finish for this fall, so scheduling took him out of the mix, and he’ll be making another blockbuster sequel instead.
