British ‘Jurassic World’ fans, prepare to feel terribly, terribly smug…

Universal Pictures UK broke the news on Twitter, announcing the release date of the second movie as June 7, 2018.

The US won’t get to see more dino action until June 22.

That, sadly, is all we know for sure about the sequel, which as yet doesn’t even have an official title.

But 'Jurassic World’ helmsman Colin Trevorrow, who isn’t expected to direct the sequel, but is writing it with Derek Connolly, has hinted as to a possible direction.

“[It will not be] just a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island,” he told Wired magazine. “That’ll get old real fast.”

“There are applications for this science that reach far beyond entertainment.

“And when you look back at nuclear power and how that started, the first instinct was to weaponise it and later on we found it could be used for energy.

“I want to do my job in setting the table for something that can be rich and thoughtful and interesting.”

“And this isn’t something necessarily that was in the book but is a seed that I wanted to plant in this movie, is that might be able to grow in more of these movies if they decide to make more of them, is: What if this went open source? It’s almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?

“And Dr Wu says in the film, when he’s warning Dr Mesrani, ‘we’re not always going to be the only ones who can make a dinosaur’. I think that’s an interesting idea that even if we don’t explore fully in this film, there is room for this universe to expand.

“I shouldn’t use the word universe, because people will think we’re making a Jurassic World universe - we’re not.”

Whatever the direction the movie takes, we’ll be the ones finding out first.
