Actress Scarlett Johansson revealed that she will star in the upcoming Jurassic World film, directed by Gareth Edwards, known for Godzilla and Rogue One, and written by David Koepp, as reported by Variety. Johansson expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “I am an enormous Jurassic Park fan. It is one of the first movies I remember seeing in theatres. I remember it so vividly. It was life-changing and mind-blowing. I cannot express how excited I am.”
This fourth Jurassic World movie will introduce a new story, distinct from the original trilogy that featured Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. According to Johansson, the script is “so incredible.”
Each of the previous three Jurassic World films grossed over 1 billion dollars worldwide. In the new film, Johansson will lead a cast that includes Jonathan Bailey, David Iacono, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Luna Blaise, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.
Johansson also shared, “David Koepp wrote it and returned after 30 years to write it, and he’s so passionate about it. I’ve been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over 10 years. I’m like, ‘I’ll die in the first five minutes! I can get eaten by whatever! I’ll do the craft service!’ I’ll do anything for it. The fact that it’s happened this way at this time is unbelievable.”
Jurassic World 4 will be filmed in locations such as Thailand, studios in Malta, and the UK. Steven Spielberg will serve as executive producer through Amblin Entertainment, with Jurassic Park producer Frank Marshall and his regular producing partner Patrick Crowley also returning, as reported by Variety.
