This coming June we will finally see director J.A. Bayona's sequel to JURASSIC WORLD stomp into theaters in the form of JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM.
The film looks to be dinos vs volcanos, and that adds up to good times in my book. But what are the plans for the franchise after the upcoming sequel?
Well, writer-producer (and JURASSIC WORLD director) Colin Trevorrow recently spoke about just that and how the plan, since day one, has always been to make a trilogy of "World" flicks.
Colin Trevorrow on JURASSIC WORLD trilogy:
I knew where I wanted it to go. I remember telling Steven [Spielberg] even while we were making the first movie, “This is the beginning. Here is the middle. And here’s the end of the end.' This is where we want to go. I feel like that kind of design is crucial to a franchise like this if you really want to bring people along with you and make sure they stay interested. It needs to be thought through on that level. It can’t be arbitrary, especially if we want to turn this into a character-based franchise with people who you lean in to follow what they’re going to do.

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM:
It’s been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles. When the island’s dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who’s still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times.
