Jurassic Park 4 to get 'new' dinosaur

Film's technical advisor teases the fourth film's answer to the velociraptor

Aside from dinosaur experts, who'd heard of a velociraptor before 'Jurassic Park'?

With that in mind, the planned fourth film will feature a 'new' dinosaur to terrify another generation of fans, according to the franchise's renowned technical advisor.

Palaeontologist Jack Horner, who was one of the real-life inspirations for Sam Neill's character Alan Grant, is sworn to secrecy about the project but revealed one potentially exciting titbit about the next film.

“I can’t actually tell you who that will be, but you’ll want to keep the lights on after you see this movie,” he told USA Today.

It was recently confirmed that the fourth film – coming some 12 years after 'Jurassic Park III' – will be directed by Colin Trevorrow, who helmed the indie smash 'Safety Not Guaranteed'.

Meanwhile, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who penned 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes', are writing the screenplay.

So far it's slated for release on June 13, 2014.
