The Jurassic World sequel just got a little closer with the news that it’s going to be partly filmed in the UK – and already has a working title.

The movie, due for release in 2018, is currently called Jurassic World: Ancient Futures – and is currently gearing up for production to begin later this year.

It’ll see Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard once again doing battle with prehistoric foe – while director JA Bayona is taking over where Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow left off.

That said, the latter isn’t missing out entirely – as he’s co-written the screenplay, and recently dropped a few hints as to what viewers could expect.

‘I feel like the idea that this isn’t always going to be limited to theme parks, and there are applications for this science that reach far beyond entertainment,’ Trevorrow told Wired magazine.



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

In other words, could we be looking at a plot which sees the dinosaurs heading a bit further afield? Time will tell (but we can’t deny we’re not a little excited).

The first Jurassic World movie was a monster hit when it was released last summer, taking over $1.6bn worldwide.

It’s now the fourth highest grossing movie of all time, behind Avatar, Titanic and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
