Joe Johnston Won’t direct Jurassic IV
The first Jurassic Park was good. It was exciting and it offered something moviegoers had rarely seen before namely; dinosaurs that neither looked as though they were made out of plasticine or were merely a guy in a suit. The second one was even better as it not only had an island of dinosaurs it also had a T-Rex causing havoc in a city. The third one, however, was a bit of a let down. And so it may be good news to some that JP4 will not be directed by the director of JP3, Joe Johnston.
MTV.com reported that Jurassic Park III helmer Joe Johnston won’t be helming a proposed fourth installment of the franchise but the original’s co-star Laura Dern told the site that she will be in the next installment. “It is happening,” she told the site. “Rumor has it [my character] Ellie Sattler may be back in the woods, back on the island,” Dern announced, saying the movie will hit theaters in 2008. She added with a coy smile, “You know, there is a guy I know who told me he wants me to have something to do with it. [So] I have a date with a dinosaur again. My 5-year-old will be thrilled.”
