Welcome back, to Jurassic Park!

[Tev]

Jurassic Park 4 is in pre-production! And they've finally named the director.

Welcome to Jurassic Park, Colin Trevorrow. The indie director behind "Safety Not Guaranteed" has been hired to direct "Jurassic Park 4" according to Deadline.com. Trevorrow takes over the franchise for Joe Johnston, who directed "Jurassic Park III" in 2001; Steven Spielberg, a producer on "Jurassic Park 4," directed the first two installments in the blockbuster franchise.

Trevorrow's hiring comes on the heels of mass speculation that Spielberg himself would return for "Jurassic Park 4." HitFix film writer Drew McWeeny offered up the idea that Spielberg was a potential spoiler for the job, noting that the identity of the "Jurassic Park 4" director was still secret despite the film being in pre-production.

Trevorrow has to hustle to get "Jurassic Park 4" ready: The film is already set for release on June 13, 2014. What this means for Trevorrow's other big, post-"Safety Not Guaranteed" project, a remake of "The Flight of the Navigator," is unclear.

Also, Flight of the Navigator remake? That won't possibly be as good as the original...

Anyway, we're going back to dino island! Though, I have to wonder, in a world where this has been tried and failed three times before with horrific consequences all around, where does one get a government permit to open a giant lizard zoo? You'd think a "No cloning dinosaurs this time....we really mean it!" bill would have been pushed through congress after the T-Rex ran amok through a major U.S. city.
