Bayona's JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jeff Goldblum, BD Wong, James Cromwell, Ted Levine, and Rafe Spall is scheduled to stomp into theaters on June 8th. The sequel finds Owen and Clair mounting a campaign to return to the Jurassic World theme park site in an effort to rescue the dinosaurs from an extinction-level event.
