This is one of those stories that just pops up every once in awhile because the prospect of continuing the Jurassic Park franchise is just that damn intriguing. We even posted about it a few months ago when Hasbro announced the revival of the toyline.
Now AICN is reporting that Jurassic Park III director Joe Johnston, who’s next project is Marvel’s Captain America film, chatted with them about the film while on the set of the Wolfman ( his most recent film).

DIRECTOR Joe Johnston has expressed an interest in returning to the Jurassic Park franchise to create a new trilogy of dinosaur adventures.
Earlier this year, producer Frank Marshall said a fourth movie was a long shot, following reservations about another film after the death of Michael Crichton in 2008.
But Johnston - whose Jurassic Park 3 is widely regarded as the weakest in the series - said he would be prepared to revive the prehistoric predators once more.

Jurassic Park IV ? Don't count it out yet, I guess.
Director Joe Johnston , brought in by Universal to take over The Wolfman from Mark Romanek, helmed the third and least appealing Jurassic Park about a decade ago, and he tells Ain't It Cool News he would consider answering the bell again. Unless I missed something this year, the producers of the trilogy have not warmed to the idea yet, so this could be hypothetical.

From Jurassic Park to Disclosure to The Andromeda Strain , Crichton always laced his stories... Read Full Story
SCIENCE FICTION fantasy films often present us with resurrected creatures from the past - such as in Jurassic Park and the movies it inspired like the Carnosaur series and the dreadful Sabretooth.
Most recently, the prehistoric epic 10,000BC brought to life the mammoths, sabretooth tigers and giant predatory birds that once walked the Earth.
Documentaries, too, such as Walking with Dinosaurs and its follow-ups (Walking with Beasts, Cavemen and Monsters) have all reconstructed long... Read Full Story

I'M a great fan of dinosaur movies - or indeed most films featuring prehistoric or mythical creatures - so it's disheartening to hear that the Jurassic Park franchise may now be extinct.
A fourth film in the series has been in development for ages, and was to have been directed by Joe Johnston - who helmed Jurassic Park 3 - from a screenplay by William Monahan and John Sayles.
But now producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, speaking at the press junket for The Curious Case of... Read Full Story
