Quit playing games with my heart, Universal. Universal has decided to postpone the release of
Jurassic Park 4. Before fans panic about the future of the fourth installment of the hit franchise, let's look at what we know. Universal has released a statement saying how excited they are for the project. That doesn't look like they want to cancel it. It simply seems that the original release date of June 13th, 2014 wouldn't give the filmmakers enough time to produce the best movie possible. I'm going to tell myself that maybe they're hoping the delay will work with the schedules of the original cast.
In other Jurassic Park news,
Variety is reporting that
Bryce Dallas Howard and
David Oyelowo were the front runners to star in the film. Personally, this is the bit of news that worries me more than the delay. Each movie has had at least one of the original stars in the cast and I don't know how fans will react to an entirely new cast. Surely, they could fit the original cast members, or at least some of them, into the script in some capacity. Even if they can't run around a jungle anymore.
Sam Neill is hanging out in a vineyard and I don't think
Joe Mazzello is busy. Just saying.
