Colin Trevorrow Confirmed to Direct 'Jurassic World 3'

In an exclusive statement to Entertainment Weekly, Steven Spielberg has confirmed that Colin Trevorrow will return to the "Jurassic World" franchise and helm the third installment, which is currently scheduled to stomp into theaters on June 11, 2021. (Spielberg is the series' executive producer and creative godfather.)

This new film will be co-written by Trevorrow and Emily Carmichael ("Pacific Rim Uprising"), based off a story that Trevorrow cooked up with Derek Connolly (who co-wrote both the original film and this summer's "Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom"). Producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley will also return.

"Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom," which reunites original stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard alongside franchise mainstays B.D. Wong and Jeff Goldblum, was directed by J.A. Bayona ("A Monster Calls"). The highly anticipated sequel is due on June 22^nd.

Of course, Trevorrow didn't direct the follow-up because he was busy doing prep for "Star Wars: Episode IX," which was announced back in 2015. In September 2017 Trevorrow was fired from the project for unspecified reasons, only to be replaced by J.J Abrams. (It probably didn't help that he was coming off of "The Book of Henry," a notorious flop and one of the worst reviewed movies of last year.) Earlier this year Trevorrow directed a "Jurassic Park"-themed Jeep commercial that featured Goldblum and was aired during the Super Bowl.

Of course, all of the bad buzz and career stumbles only mean so much measured up against the worldwide gross of the first "Jurassic World" (which Trevorrow conceived, co-wrote and directed), a cool $1.6 billion.

"It's important to this franchise that we welcome new creative voices to keep our storytelling fresh and alive," Trevorrow told EW. "I'm thrilled with the tension and beauty J.A. has brought to 'Fallen Kingdom,' and I know Emily will add another layer of emotion to the concluding chapter of our trilogy."

Sure, this feels like a bit of professional rehab, but the filmmaker will return to a franchise he's comfortable with and be surrounded by people he enjoys collaborating with. So here's hoping for the best. At the very least, it can't be worse than "Book of Henry."

‘Fear Street’ Spoiler Review: Netflix’s Horror Trilogy Mines Nostalgia While Looking to the Future

Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, a three-week spree of crimes against innocent Shadysiders, ended on Friday. It’s possibly the biggest slasher-movie event since the 2018 Halloween broke box-office records for its franchise and production company. There have been other slasher flicks since then; the bloody body-swap Freaky comes to mind as one genre torch-bearer, seen mostly on VOD late last year. However, with its staggered release pattern — instant summer sequels, now available to stream! — Fear Street has built up a sustained momentum this month that goes unmatched by other recent entries in the genre. We took a non-spoiler look at all three Fear Street films as they launched: Part One: 1994 on July 2, Part Two: 1978 on July 9, and Part Three: 1666 on July 16. Now, as the dust settles in the town of Shadyside, we’re ready to dive into the deep end with a spoiler-filled look at the plot twists, character deaths, and buried themes of the whole decade-hopping trilogy.

Yes, ‘Eternals’ Will Explain Why These Superheroes Didn’t Help Out During ‘Avengers: Endgame’

Eternals may become the latest example of the many balancing acts that any shared universe will inevitably be asked to navigate. After all, constructing a timeline with a lived-in sense of history must stand up to scrutiny. While fans should generally approach movies with the benefit of the doubt (these are, after all, fictional works made up by human beings rather than an actual historical retelling), creators tend to obsess over these sorts of details. That’s why Marvel producers Nate Moore and Kevin Feige offer reassurances that there’s a very good canonical reason the Eternals didn’t bother showing up to help Captain America fight Thanos. Entertainment Weekly has the lowdown on all aspects of Eternals , from director Chloe Zhao’s influences to introductions for each of the main heroes. There’s also an interesting nugget included in the cover story about the movie’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Described as “…largely a standalone story, focusing specifically on th
