Producers speak out about awaited sequel
While out on a press tour talking about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy says that plans have fallen through for a fourth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise.
When asked if there was any progress on the long-anticipated sequel, Kennedy responded, “No…I don’t know. You know, when [Michael] Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that’s it. Maybe that’s a sign that we don’t mess with it.”
Since Joe Johnston’s Jurassic Park III in 2001, Universal has been developing a fourth outing in the successful franchise. The studio commissioned William Monahan and John Sayles to pen a script in ’04. And while there has been some chirping from actors Laura Dern and Sam Neill about being involved, or not involved, over the years, there was never any solid word on where development was at.
