Gareth Edwards has been tapped to direct the next “Jurassic World” movie at Universal.
The “Rogue One” director replaces “Bullet Train” director David Leitch, who was previously in talks to direct.
David Koepp will write the screenplay, which is said to launch a new storyline.
Although plot details are being kept under wraps, insiders say that the film will start a new storyline separate from the trilogy of “Jurassic World” films that starred Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard and saw the eventual inclusion of “Jurassic Park” stars Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and B.D. Wong.
Executive Vice President of Production Development Sara Scott and Creative Executive of Production Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the Studio. Steven Spielberg will produce through Amblin alongside Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley.
