Dinosaur lovers will have to wait a year longer to see the new Jurassic World movie after the producers postponed the release date to 2022.
Director Colin Trevorrow took to Twitter to announce the postponement to fans, urging them that the wait for the movie which will now debut on June 10, 2022 “will all be worth it.”
“Jurassic World: Dominion,” initially slated the movie for summer 2021 by Universal Pictures, the studio behind the sci-fi adventure franchise, shut down filming in March due COVID-19.
Having resumed filming, Colin also debuted the first teaser poster for the film, with the familiar “Jurassic” franchise logo encased in amber, a callback to the 1993 blockbuster “Jurassic Park.”
“For the past three months, I’ve worked with an extraordinary cast and crew on a film we can’t wait to share with the world,” Trevorrow said. “Even though we’ll have to wait a bit longer, it will all be worth it. Let’s stay healthy and take care of each other until then.”
Regular faces, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard retain their roles in “Jurassic World: Dominion,” the sixth film in the 27-year-old franchise.
They are joined by a star-studded group that includes Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum. Trevorrow is returning to direct after previously helming 2015’s “Jurassic World.” He also co-wrote the script for the 2018 sequel “Fallen Kingdom.”
