It began in 1990 when Universal Studios bought the rights to the novel by Michael Crichton before it was even published . The book was successful , as was Steven Spielberg 's 1993 film adaptation , which led to three sequels , although the third and fourth films were not based on novels as the first two were . Numerous video games based on the franchise have been created by various software developers since the release of the 1993 film . The Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy was released on DVD and Blu - ray on October 25 , 2011 , in North America . The first film was re-released in 3D on April 5 , 2013 . Since 1996 , several water rides based on the series have been opened at various Universal theme parks . On June 1 , 2016 , the first three films in the franchise were added to the Netflix streaming service , but were removed on September 1 , 2016 . The fourth film , Jurassic World , was initially scheduled to be released in the summer of 2005 , but was delayed numerous times and was ultimately released in June 2015 . It became the first film that grossed over $500 million worldwide in its opening weekend , and has grossed over $1.6 billion through the course of its theatrical run , making it the fourth highest - grossing film of all time . When adjusted for monetary inflation , however , this film is the second highest grossing in the franchise after Jurassic Park . An animated film , Lego Jurassic World : The Indominus Escape , was released on October 18 , 2016 with the home media release of Jurassic World , alongside a short film , Employee Safety Video . A fifth film , Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , is scheduled to be released on June 22 , 2018 . A sixth film , tentatively titled Jurassic World 3 , is scheduled to be released on June 11 , 2021 . As of 2000 , the franchise had generated $5 billion in revenue , making it one of the highest - grossing media franchises of all time .

After wrestling with this idea for a while , he came up with the idea of Jurassic Park . Crichton worked on the idea for several years ; he decided his first draft would have a theme park for the setting and a young boy as the main character . Response was extremely negative , so Crichton rewrote the story to make it from an adult 's point of view , which resulted in more positive feedback . Steven Spielberg learned of the novel in October 1989 while he and Crichton were discussing a screenplay that would become the TV series ER . Before the book was published , Crichton put up a non-negotiable fee for $1.5 million as well as a substantial percentage of the gross . Universal further paid Crichton $500,000 to adapt his own novel . Warner Bros. and Tim Burton , Columbia Pictures and Richard Donner , and 20th Century Fox and Joe Dante also bid for the rights , but in May 1990 , Universal eventually decided on Spielberg making the adaptation . Universal desperately needed money to keep their company alive , and partially succeeded with Jurassic Park , as it became a critical and commercial success . After Jurassic Park was released to home video , Crichton was pressured from many sources for a sequel novel . Crichton declined all offers until Spielberg himself told him that he would be keen to direct a movie adaptation of the sequel , if one were written . Crichton began work almost immediately and in 1995 published The Lost World . Crichton confirmed that his novel had elements taken from the novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle . The book was also an outstanding success , both with professional and amateur critics . The film adaptation , The Lost World : Jurassic Park began production in September 1996 . InGen ( edit ) In the novels , the fictional company InGen ( International Genetic Technologies , Inc . ) is based in Palo Alto , California and has one location in Europe . Nevertheless , most of InGen 's research took place on the fictional islands of Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar , near Costa Rica . While the first novel indicated InGen was just one of any number of small 1980s genetic engineering start - ups , the events of the novel and film revealed to a select group that InGen had discovered a method of cloning dinosaurs and other animals ( including a quagga ) using blood extracted from mosquitoes trapped in amber during various periods in time , ranging from the Mesozoic era to the 1800s . Beacham 's Encyclopedia of Popular Fiction describe InGen as comparable to another `` sleazy organization '' . Other sources reference the company 's receiving the baby T. rex as an allusion to other exploitative entrepreneurs depicted in King Kong . Ken Gelder describes InGen as `` resolutely secretive , just like the firm in Grisham 's novel '' .

Before Crichton 's book was even published , studios such as Warner Bros. , Columbia , TriStar , 20th Century Fox , and Universal had already begun bidding to acquire the picture rights . Spielberg , with the backing of Universal Studios , acquired the rights to the novel before its publication in 1990 , and Crichton was hired by Universal Studios for an additional US $500,000 to adapt the novel into a proper screenplay . Malia Scotch Marmo , who was a writer on Spielberg 's Hook , wrote the next draft of Jurassic Park but is not credited . David Koepp wrote the final draft , which left out much of the novel 's exposition and violence , and made numerous changes to the characters . The film is set on Isla Nublar , the location of the theme park . When an incident results in the death of an employee , Jurassic Park owner John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) brings in three specialists to sign off on the park to calm investors . The specialists , paleontologist Alan Grant ( Sam Neill ) , paleobotanist Ellie Sattler ( Laura Dern ) , and chaos theorist Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ) are surprised to see the island park 's main attraction are living , breathing dinosaurs , created with a mixture of fossilized DNA and genetic cross-breeding / cloning . However , when lead programmer Dennis Nedry ( Wayne Knight ) shuts down the park 's power to sneak out with samples of the dinosaur embryos to sell to a corporate rival , the dinosaurs break free , and the survivors are forced to find a way to turn the power back on and make it out alive . The film also stars Bob Peck , Martin Ferrero , B.D. Wong , Ariana Richards , Joseph Mazzello , and Samuel L. Jackson . Jurassic Park is regarded as a landmark in the use of computer - generated imagery and received positive reviews from critics , who praised the effects , though reactions to other elements of the picture , such as character development , were mixed . During its release , the film grossed more than $914 million worldwide , becoming the most successful film released up to that time ( surpassing E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and surpassed 4 years later by Titanic ) , and it is currently the 17th highest grossing feature film ( taking inflation into account , it is the 20th - highest - grossing film in North America ) . It is the most financially successful film for NBCUniversal and Steven Spielberg . Jurassic Park had two re-releases : The first on September 23 , 2011 , in the United Kingdom and the second in which it was converted into 3D on April 5 , 2013 , for its 20th Anniversary , which resulted in the film passing the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office . The Lost World : Jurassic Park ( 1997 ) ( edit ) Main article : The Lost World : Jurassic Park As soon as the novel was published , a film was in pre-production , with a target release date of mid-1997 . The film was a commercial success , breaking many box - office records when released . The film had mixed reviews , similar to its predecessor in terms of characterization . Much like the first film , The Lost World made a number of changes to the plot and characters from the book , replacing the corporate rivals with an internal power struggle and changing the roles / characterizations of several protagonists . When a vacationing family stumbles upon the dinosaurs of Isla Sorna , a secondary island where the animals were bred en masse and allowed to grow before being transported to the park , Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ) is called in by John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) to lead a team to document the island to turn it into a preserve , where the animals can roam free without interference from the outside world . Malcolm agrees to go when he discovers his girlfriend , paleontologist Sarah Harding ( Julianne Moore ) is already on the island , while at the same time Hammond 's nephew , Peter Ludlow ( Arliss Howard ) , has taken over his uncle 's company and leads a team of hunters to capture the creatures and bring them back to a theme park in San Diego . The two groups clash and are ultimately forced to work together to evade the predatory creatures and survive the second island . The film also stars Pete Postlethwaite , Richard Schiff , Vince Vaughn , Vanessa Lee Chester , Peter Stormare , and a young Camilla Belle . Jurassic Park III ( 2001 ) ( edit ) Main article : Jurassic Park III Joe Johnston had been interested in directing the sequel to Jurassic Park and approached his friend Steven Spielberg about the project . While Spielberg wanted to direct the first sequel , he agreed that if there was ever a third film , Johnston could direct . Spielberg , nevertheless , stayed involved in this film by becoming its executive producer . Production began on August 30 , 2000 , with filming in California , and the Hawaiian islands of Kauai , Oahu , and Molokai . It is the first Jurassic Park film not to be based on a novel . The film was a financial success but received mixed to negative reviews from critics . Most were split on whether the third installment was better or worse than its predecessor . The film once again suffered reviews mentioning little to no characterization . When their son goes missing while parasailing at Isla Sorna , the Kirbys ( William H. Macy and Téa Leoni ) hire Alan Grant ( Sam Neill ) under false pretenses to help them navigate the island . Believing it to be nothing more than sight - seeing , and that he will act as a dinosaur guide from the safety of their plane , he 's startled to find them landing on the ground , where they are stalked by a super-predator , the Spinosaurus , which destroys their plane . As they search for the Kirbys ' son , the situation grows dire as Velociraptors ( more intelligent than ever ) hunt their group and they must find a way off the island . The film also stars Alessandro Nivola , Michael Jeter , Trevor Morgan , Mark Harelik , and Laura Dern . Jurassic World ( 2015 ) ( edit ) Main article : Jurassic World Steven Spielberg devised a story idea for a fourth film in 2001 , during production of Jurassic Park III . In 2002 , William Monahan was hired to write the script , with the film 's release scheduled for 2005 . Monahan finished the first draft of the script in 2003 , with the film 's plot revolving around dinosaurs escaping to the mainland . Sam Neill and Richard Attenborough were set to reprise their characters , while Keira Knightley was in talks for two separate roles . In 2004 , John Sayles wrote two drafts of the script . Sayles ' first draft involved a team of Deinonychus being trained for use in rescue missions . His second draft involved genetically modified dinosaur - human mercenaries . Both drafts were scrapped . In 2006 , a new script was being worked on . Laura Dern was contacted to reprise her role , with the film expected for release in 2008 . The film was further delayed by the 2007 -- 08 Writers Guild of America strike . Mark Protosevich wrote two film treatments in 2011 , which were rejected . Rise of the Planet of the Apes screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver were hired in 2012 to write an early draft of the script . In 2013 , Colin Trevorrow was announced as a director and co-writer , with the film scheduled for release on June 12 , 2015 . The film was shot in 3D , and received positive reviews from critics and audience alike . The film features a new park , Jurassic World , built on the remains of the original park on Isla Nublar . The film sees the park run by Simon Masrani ( Irrfan Khan ) and Masrani Corp , and features the return of Dr. Henry Wu ( B.D. Wong ) from the first film , who harbors a grudge against his former employer . Chris Pratt , Bryce Dallas Howard , and Jake Johnson star , while Vincent D'Onofrio portrayed the main antagonist , Vic Hoskins . The cast also includes Lauren Lapkus , Ty Simpkins , Nick Robinson , Omar Sy , and Judy Greer . The primary dinosaur antagonist is Indominus rex , a genetically - modified hybrid of Tyrannosaurus rex and several other species , including Velociraptor , cuttlefish , and tree frog . Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom ( 2018 ) ( edit ) Main article : Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom A sequel to Jurassic World is scheduled for release on June 22 , 2018 . The film is being directed by J.A. Bayona , with a script written by Trevorrow and Connelly . Frank Marshall , Pat Crowley , and Belén Atienza are producing the film , with Trevorrow and Spielberg as executive producers . Óscar Faura is the film 's cinematographer . The film stars Chris Pratt , Bryce Dallas Howard , B.D. Wong , James Cromwell , Ted Levine , Justice Smith , Geraldine Chaplin , Daniella Pineda , Toby Jones , Rafe Spall , and Isabella Sermon , with Jeff Goldblum reprising his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm . In the film , former Jurassic World manager Claire Dearing creates an organization to save the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar from a volcanic eruption . During early conversations on Jurassic World , Spielberg told Trevorrow that he was interested in having several more films made . In April 2014 , Trevorrow announced that sequels to Jurassic World had been discussed : `` We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic , and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story . '' Trevorrow , who said he would direct the film if asked , later told Spielberg that he would only focus on directing one film in the series . In May 2015 , Trevorrow announced that he would not direct another film in the series : `` I would be involved in some way , but not as director . '' Trevorrow felt that different directors could bring different qualities to future films . In June 2015 , Trevorrow stated that Jurassic World left story possibilities open for the sequel 's director that could potentially allow the film to take place in a different location , rather than on an island . Trevorrow hinted that the next film could involve dinosaurs being used by other companies for non-entertainment purposes , possibly in agriculture , medicine , and war : `` I really like the idea that this group of geneticists are n't the only people who can make a dinosaur ( ... ) when you think of the differences between Apple and PC -- the minute something goes open - source , there are all kinds of entities and interests that may be able to utilise that technology . '' Trevorrow later confirmed that the film would not involve `` a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island . That 'll get old real fast '' . Trevorrow also spoke of the film 's possible open - source storyline : `` It 's almost like InGen is Mac , but what if PC gets their hands on it ? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur ? '' Bayona was announced as director in April 2016 . Spielberg , Marshall , and Kathleen Kennedy had been impressed by Bayona 's 2012 film , The Impossible , and initially considered having him direct Jurassic World , but he declined as he felt there was not enough time for production . During pre-production , Bayona said he was reading all of Michael Crichton 's novels , including Jurassic Park and The Lost World , `` to try to immerse myself in Crichton 's mind '' . Filming began in February 2017 . Filming took place in Hawaii , and at Pinewood Studios in England . Filming was also planned to take place at Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales . Filming concluded on July 8 , 2017 . Jurassic World 3 ( 2021 ) ( edit ) In September 2015 , Trevorrow said that Bryce Dallas Howard 's character would evolve the most over the course of the Jurassic World trilogy that , in turn , is expected to conclude the storyline that began with the previous five films . In October 2015 , Frank Marshall confirmed plans for a sixth film in the series . In November 2015 , Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley said that Trevorrow and Spielberg have a story idea for the sixth film . In September 2016 , Bayona further confirmed that Trevorrow has plans for a Jurassic World trilogy . That month , Trevorrow was asked how much planning he had put into a new trilogy while he was filming Jurassic World in 2014 : `` I knew the end . I knew where I wanted it to go . '' Trevorrow later said that planning the beginning , middle , and end of the trilogy ahead of time `` is crucial to a franchise like this if you really want to bring people along with you and make sure they stay interested . It needs to be thought through on that level . It ca n't be arbitrary ( ... ) the earlier Jurassic Park movies had pretty clear definitive endings . They were much more episodic . '' In March 2017 , Laura Dern commented , `` As I said to the people who are making the new series , ' If you guys make a last one , you got ta let Ellie Sattler come back . ' '' In February 2018 , it was announced that an untitled film , unofficially known as Jurassic World 3 , would be released on June 11 , 2021 . It was also announced that Trevorrow would write the script with Emily Carmichael , based on a story by Trevorrow and Connolly ; and that Trevorrow and Spielberg would serve as executive producers for the film , with Marshall and Crowley as producers . On March 30 , 2018 , it was announced that Trevorrow would also direct the film , at the request of Spielberg . Trevorrow and Carmichael were writing the script as of April 2018 . At the time , Trevorrow said that Pratt and Howard would reprise their roles from the previous films , and that `` there 's other characters who we 'll meet in Fallen Kingdom you 'll realize are major characters . '' Additionally , Trevorrow said that Jurassic World 3 would be a `` science thriller , '' describing it as being the Jurassic World film that would most closely match the tone of Spielberg 's original 1993 Jurassic Park film .

The series , titled Escape from Jurassic Park , would have consisted of 23 episodes for its first season . The series would have centered on John Hammond 's attempts to finish Jurassic Park and open it to the public , while InGen 's corporate rival Biosyn is simultaneously planning to open their own dinosaur theme park in Brazil , which ultimately ends with their dinosaurs escaping into the jungles . If produced , it was believed that the project would be the most expensive animated series up to that time . Jeff Segal , president of Universal Cartoon Studios , said , `` We are developing a TV series that we anticipate would be computer animated and very sophisticated . However , Spielberg has not had a chance yet to look at either the material or the format for the series . '' Segal said Universal was considering the possibility of developing the series for prime time . Segal said about the series ' storyline , `` It would essentially pick up from the closing moments of the movie and it would continue the story in a very dramatic way . The intention would be to continue with the primary characters and also introduce new characters . '' Segal also said the series would be aimed specifically at the same target audience as the film , while hoping that it would also appeal to young children . Animation veteran and comic artist Will Meugniot ( then working at Universal Cartoon Studios for various projects , including Exosquad ) contacted artist William Stout to ask if he would be interested in designing the animated series . According to Stout , `` This was not going to be a kiddy show ( although kids of all ages , including myself , could enjoy it ) . They wanted the show to be a mature prime time series with top writers and state - of - the - art television animation augmented with quite a bit of CG animation . '' Universal Animation Studios wanted the show to have the look of a graphic novel . Stout was hired to work on the series and subsequently made a trailer to demonstrate how the series would look , and how it would combine traditional animation with computer animation . The series required Spielberg 's final approval before it could go into production . However , Spielberg had grown tired of the massive promotion and merchandise revolving around the film , and never watched the trailer . On July 13 , 1993 , Margaret Loesch , president of the Fox Children 's Network , confirmed that discussions had been held with Spielberg about an animated version of the film . Loesch also said , `` At least for now and in the foreseeable future , there will not be an animated Jurassic Park . That 's Steven Spielberg 's decision , and we respect that decision . '' Jurassic Park : Chaos Effect ( 1997 ) ( edit ) Part three of the four - part comic adaptation of The Lost World : Jurassic Park , published by Topps Comics in July 1997 , confirmed to readers that a cartoon series based on the film was in development . In November 1997 , it was reported that the cartoon would be accompanied by Jurassic Park : Chaos Effect , a series of dinosaur toys produced by Kenner and based on a premise that scientists had created dinosaur hybrids consisting of DNA from different creatures . The new toys were based on the upcoming cartoon . That month , it was also reported that the cartoon could be ready by March 1998 , as a mid-season replacement . The Chaos Effect toyline was released in June 1998 , but the animated series was never produced , for unknown reasons . In the short - lived toyline , the dinosaurs in this line are the results of scientists combining the DNA of dinosaurs with other dinosaurs and modern day animals . The following dinosaurs are in this category : Amargospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Amargasaurus and a Spinosaurus . Ankyloranodon -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Ankylosaurus and a Pteranodon . Compstegnathus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Compsognathus , a Stegosaurus , and an African tree frog . Deinonycanis -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Deinonychus and a dire wolf . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Dilophospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Dilophosaurus and a Spinosaurus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Omega T - Rex -- A genetically - advanced Tyrannosaurus where it does not have any of the Tyrannosaurus weaknesses . Pachysaurolophus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Pachycephalosaurus and a Parasaurolophus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Paradeinonychus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Parasaurolophus and a Deinonychus . Raptor Alpha -- A genetically - advanced Velociraptor that specializes in hunting at night due to its camouflage ability working best at night . Stegospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Stegosaurus and a Spinosaurus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Tanaconda -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Tanystropheus and an anaconda . Thrasher T - Rex -- A genetically - advanced Tyrannosaurus that is similar to Omega T - Rex . Tyrannonops -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Tyrannosaurus and a Lycaenops . Ultimasaurus -- A hybrid dinosaur that has the upper jaw of a Triceratops , the lower jaw and body of a Tyrannosaurus , the arms and legs of a Velociraptor , the back armor of an Ankylosaurus , and the spike - tipped tail of a Stegosaurus . Velociraptoryx -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Velociraptor and an Archaeopteryx .

There were actually two roles in ' Jurassic Park IV ' Steven thought I might fit . First there was the granddaughter part , which was n't all that big a role ; she was only in it at the beginning . The other part he was considering for me was substantially larger , but I wo n't go into any details in case I make Steven angry ( laughs ) ... I truly do n't know if I 'll end up getting either part or not . The script is pretty much locked down , but I think they 're still working on final drafts at the moment .

It began in 1990 when Universal Studios bought the rights to the novel by Michael Crichton before it was even published . The book was successful , as was Steven Spielberg 's 1993 film adaptation , which led to three sequels , although the third and fourth films were not based on novels as the first two were . Numerous video games based on the franchise have been created by various software developers since the release of the 1993 film . The Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy was released on DVD and Blu - ray on October 25 , 2011 , in North America . The first film was re-released in 3D on April 5 , 2013 . Since 1996 , several water rides based on the series have been opened at various Universal theme parks . On June 1 , 2016 , the first three films in the franchise were added to the Netflix streaming service , but were removed on September 1 , 2016 . The fourth film , Jurassic World , was initially scheduled to be released in the summer of 2005 , but was delayed numerous times and was ultimately released in June 2015 . It became the first film that grossed over $500 million worldwide in its opening weekend , and has grossed over $1.6 billion through the course of its theatrical run , making it the fourth highest - grossing film of all time . When adjusted for monetary inflation , however , this film is the second highest grossing in the franchise after Jurassic Park . An animated film , Lego Jurassic World : The Indominus Escape , was released on October 18 , 2016 with the home media release of Jurassic World , alongside a short film , Employee Safety Video . A fifth film , Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , is scheduled to be released on June 22 , 2018 . A sixth film , tentatively titled Jurassic World 3 , is scheduled to be released on June 11 , 2021 . As of 2000 , the franchise had generated $5 billion in revenue , making it one of the highest - grossing media franchises of all time . Michael Crichton originally conceived a screenplay about a pterosaur being cloned from fossil DNA . After wrestling with this idea for a while , he came up with the idea of Jurassic Park . Crichton worked on the idea for several years ; he decided his first draft would have a theme park for the setting and a young boy as the main character . Response was extremely negative , so Crichton rewrote the story to make it from an adult 's point of view , which resulted in more positive feedback . Steven Spielberg learned of the novel in October 1989 while he and Crichton were discussing a screenplay that would become the TV series ER . Before the book was published , Crichton put up a non-negotiable fee for $1.5 million as well as a substantial percentage of the gross . Universal further paid Crichton $500,000 to adapt his own novel . Warner Bros. and Tim Burton , Columbia Pictures and Richard Donner , and 20th Century Fox and Joe Dante also bid for the rights , but in May 1990 , Universal eventually decided on Spielberg making the adaptation . Universal desperately needed money to keep their company alive , and partially succeeded with Jurassic Park , as it became a critical and commercial success . After Jurassic Park was released to home video , Crichton was pressured from many sources for a sequel novel . Crichton declined all offers until Spielberg himself told him that he would be keen to direct a movie adaptation of the sequel , if one were written . Crichton began work almost immediately and in 1995 published The Lost World . Crichton confirmed that his novel had elements taken from the novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle . The book was also an outstanding success , both with professional and amateur critics . The film adaptation , The Lost World : Jurassic Park began production in September 1996 . In the novels , the fictional company InGen ( International Genetic Technologies , Inc . ) is based in Palo Alto , California and has one location in Europe . Nevertheless , most of InGen 's research took place on the fictional islands of Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar , near Costa Rica . While the first novel indicated InGen was just one of any number of small 1980s genetic engineering start - ups , the events of the novel and film revealed to a select group that InGen had discovered a method of cloning dinosaurs and other animals ( including a quagga ) using blood extracted from mosquitoes trapped in amber during various periods in time , ranging from the Mesozoic era to the 1800s . Beacham 's Encyclopedia of Popular Fiction describe InGen as comparable to another `` sleazy organization '' . Other sources reference the company 's receiving the baby T. rex as an allusion to other exploitative entrepreneurs depicted in King Kong . Ken Gelder describes InGen as `` resolutely secretive , just like the firm in Grisham 's novel '' . Before Crichton 's book was even published , studios such as Warner Bros. , Columbia , TriStar , 20th Century Fox , and Universal had already begun bidding to acquire the picture rights . Spielberg , with the backing of Universal Studios , acquired the rights to the novel before its publication in 1990 , and Crichton was hired by Universal Studios for an additional US $500,000 to adapt the novel into a proper screenplay . Malia Scotch Marmo , who was a writer on Spielberg 's Hook , wrote the next draft of Jurassic Park but is not credited . David Koepp wrote the final draft , which left out much of the novel 's exposition and violence , and made numerous changes to the characters . The film is set on Isla Nublar , the location of the theme park . When an incident results in the death of an employee , Jurassic Park owner John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) brings in three specialists to sign off on the park to calm investors . The specialists , paleontologist Alan Grant ( Sam Neill ) , paleobotanist Ellie Sattler ( Laura Dern ) , and chaos theorist Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ) are surprised to see the island park 's main attraction are living , breathing dinosaurs , created with a mixture of fossilized DNA and genetic cross-breeding / cloning . However , when lead programmer Dennis Nedry ( Wayne Knight ) shuts down the park 's power to sneak out with samples of the dinosaur embryos to sell to a corporate rival , the dinosaurs break free , and the survivors are forced to find a way to turn the power back on and make it out alive . The film also stars Bob Peck , Martin Ferrero , B.D. Wong , Ariana Richards , Joseph Mazzello , and Samuel L. Jackson . Jurassic Park is regarded as a landmark in the use of computer - generated imagery and received positive reviews from critics , who praised the effects , though reactions to other elements of the picture , such as character development , were mixed . During its release , the film grossed more than $914 million worldwide , becoming the most successful film released up to that time ( surpassing E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and surpassed 4 years later by Titanic ) , and it is currently the 17th highest grossing feature film ( taking inflation into account , it is the 20th - highest - grossing film in North America ) . It is the most financially successful film for NBCUniversal and Steven Spielberg . Jurassic Park had two re-releases : The first on September 23 , 2011 , in the United Kingdom and the second in which it was converted into 3D on April 5 , 2013 , for its 20th Anniversary , which resulted in the film passing the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office . As soon as the novel was published , a film was in pre-production , with a target release date of mid-1997 . The film was a commercial success , breaking many box - office records when released . The film had mixed reviews , similar to its predecessor in terms of characterization . Much like the first film , The Lost World made a number of changes to the plot and characters from the book , replacing the corporate rivals with an internal power struggle and changing the roles / characterizations of several protagonists . When a vacationing family stumbles upon the dinosaurs of Isla Sorna , a secondary island where the animals were bred en masse and allowed to grow before being transported to the park , Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ) is called in by John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) to lead a team to document the island to turn it into a preserve , where the animals can roam free without interference from the outside world . Malcolm agrees to go when he discovers his girlfriend , paleontologist Sarah Harding ( Julianne Moore ) is already on the island , while at the same time Hammond 's nephew , Peter Ludlow ( Arliss Howard ) , has taken over his uncle 's company and leads a team of hunters to capture the creatures and bring them back to a theme park in San Diego . The two groups clash and are ultimately forced to work together to evade the predatory creatures and survive the second island . The film also stars Pete Postlethwaite , Richard Schiff , Vince Vaughn , Vanessa Lee Chester , Peter Stormare , and a young Camilla Belle . Joe Johnston had been interested in directing the sequel to Jurassic Park and approached his friend Steven Spielberg about the project . While Spielberg wanted to direct the first sequel , he agreed that if there was ever a third film , Johnston could direct . Spielberg , nevertheless , stayed involved in this film by becoming its executive producer . Production began on August 30 , 2000 , with filming in California , and the Hawaiian islands of Kauai , Oahu , and Molokai . It is the first Jurassic Park film not to be based on a novel . The film was a financial success but received mixed to negative reviews from critics . Most were split on whether the third installment was better or worse than its predecessor . The film once again suffered reviews mentioning little to no characterization . When their son goes missing while parasailing at Isla Sorna , the Kirbys ( William H. Macy and Téa Leoni ) hire Alan Grant ( Sam Neill ) under false pretenses to help them navigate the island . Believing it to be nothing more than sight - seeing , and that he will act as a dinosaur guide from the safety of their plane , he 's startled to find them landing on the ground , where they are stalked by a super-predator , the Spinosaurus , which destroys their plane . As they search for the Kirbys ' son , the situation grows dire as Velociraptors ( more intelligent than ever ) hunt their group and they must find a way off the island . The film also stars Alessandro Nivola , Michael Jeter , Trevor Morgan , Mark Harelik , and Laura Dern . Steven Spielberg devised a story idea for a fourth film in 2001 , during production of Jurassic Park III . In 2002 , William Monahan was hired to write the script , with the film 's release scheduled for 2005 . Monahan finished the first draft of the script in 2003 , with the film 's plot revolving around dinosaurs escaping to the mainland . Sam Neill and Richard Attenborough were set to reprise their characters , while Keira Knightley was in talks for two separate roles . In 2004 , John Sayles wrote two drafts of the script . Sayles ' first draft involved a team of Deinonychus being trained for use in rescue missions . His second draft involved genetically modified dinosaur - human mercenaries . Both drafts were scrapped . In 2006 , a new script was being worked on . Laura Dern was contacted to reprise her role , with the film expected for release in 2008 . The film was further delayed by the 2007 -- 08 Writers Guild of America strike . Mark Protosevich wrote two film treatments in 2011 , which were rejected . Rise of the Planet of the Apes screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver were hired in 2012 to write an early draft of the script . In 2013 , Colin Trevorrow was announced as a director and co-writer , with the film scheduled for release on June 12 , 2015 . The film was shot in 3D , and received positive reviews from critics and audience alike . The film features a new park , Jurassic World , built on the remains of the original park on Isla Nublar . The film sees the park run by Simon Masrani ( Irrfan Khan ) and Masrani Corp , and features the return of Dr. Henry Wu ( B.D. Wong ) from the first film , who harbors a grudge against his former employer . Chris Pratt , Bryce Dallas Howard , and Jake Johnson star , while Vincent D'Onofrio portrayed the main antagonist , Vic Hoskins . The cast also includes Lauren Lapkus , Ty Simpkins , Nick Robinson , Omar Sy , and Judy Greer . The primary dinosaur antagonist is Indominus rex , a genetically - modified hybrid of Tyrannosaurus rex and several other species , including Velociraptor , cuttlefish , and tree frog . A sequel to Jurassic World is scheduled for release on June 22 , 2018 . The film is being directed by J.A. Bayona , with a script written by Trevorrow and Connelly . Frank Marshall , Pat Crowley , and Belén Atienza are producing the film , with Trevorrow and Spielberg as executive producers . Óscar Faura is the film 's cinematographer . The film stars Chris Pratt , Bryce Dallas Howard , B.D. Wong , James Cromwell , Ted Levine , Justice Smith , Geraldine Chaplin , Daniella Pineda , Toby Jones , Rafe Spall , and Isabella Sermon , with Jeff Goldblum reprising his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm . In the film , former Jurassic World manager Claire Dearing creates an organization to save the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar from a volcanic eruption . During early conversations on Jurassic World , Spielberg told Trevorrow that he was interested in having several more films made . In April 2014 , Trevorrow announced that sequels to Jurassic World had been discussed : `` We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic , and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story . '' Trevorrow , who said he would direct the film if asked , later told Spielberg that he would only focus on directing one film in the series . In May 2015 , Trevorrow announced that he would not direct another film in the series : `` I would be involved in some way , but not as director . '' Trevorrow felt that different directors could bring different qualities to future films . In June 2015 , Trevorrow stated that Jurassic World left story possibilities open for the sequel 's director that could potentially allow the film to take place in a different location , rather than on an island . Trevorrow hinted that the next film could involve dinosaurs being used by other companies for non-entertainment purposes , possibly in agriculture , medicine , and war : `` I really like the idea that this group of geneticists are n't the only people who can make a dinosaur ( ... ) when you think of the differences between Apple and PC -- the minute something goes open - source , there are all kinds of entities and interests that may be able to utilise that technology . '' Trevorrow later confirmed that the film would not involve `` a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island . That 'll get old real fast '' . Trevorrow also spoke of the film 's possible open - source storyline : `` It 's almost like InGen is Mac , but what if PC gets their hands on it ? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur ? '' Bayona was announced as director in April 2016 . Spielberg , Marshall , and Kathleen Kennedy had been impressed by Bayona 's 2012 film , The Impossible , and initially considered having him direct Jurassic World , but he declined as he felt there was not enough time for production . During pre-production , Bayona said he was reading all of Michael Crichton 's novels , including Jurassic Park and The Lost World , `` to try to immerse myself in Crichton 's mind '' . Filming began in February 2017 . Filming took place in Hawaii , and at Pinewood Studios in England . Filming was also planned to take place at Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales . Filming concluded on July 8 , 2017 . In September 2015 , Trevorrow said that Bryce Dallas Howard 's character would evolve the most over the course of the Jurassic World trilogy that , in turn , is expected to conclude the storyline that began with the previous five films . In October 2015 , Frank Marshall confirmed plans for a sixth film in the series . In November 2015 , Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley said that Trevorrow and Spielberg have a story idea for the sixth film . In September 2016 , Bayona further confirmed that Trevorrow has plans for a Jurassic World trilogy . That month , Trevorrow was asked how much planning he had put into a new trilogy while he was filming Jurassic World in 2014 : `` I knew the end . I knew where I wanted it to go . '' Trevorrow later said that planning the beginning , middle , and end of the trilogy ahead of time `` is crucial to a franchise like this if you really want to bring people along with you and make sure they stay interested . It needs to be thought through on that level . It ca n't be arbitrary ( ... ) the earlier Jurassic Park movies had pretty clear definitive endings . They were much more episodic . '' In March 2017 , Laura Dern commented , `` As I said to the people who are making the new series , ' If you guys make a last one , you got ta let Ellie Sattler come back . ' '' In February 2018 , it was announced that an untitled film , unofficially known as Jurassic World 3 , would be released on June 11 , 2021 . It was also announced that Trevorrow would write the script with Emily Carmichael , based on a story by Trevorrow and Connolly ; and that Trevorrow and Spielberg would serve as executive producers for the film , with Marshall and Crowley as producers . On March 30 , 2018 , it was announced that Trevorrow would also direct the film , at the request of Spielberg . Trevorrow and Carmichael were writing the script as of April 2018 . At the time , Trevorrow said that Pratt and Howard would reprise their roles from the previous films , and that `` there 's other characters who we 'll meet in Fallen Kingdom you 'll realize are major characters . '' Additionally , Trevorrow said that Jurassic World 3 would be a `` science thriller , '' describing it as being the Jurassic World film that would most closely match the tone of Spielberg 's original 1993 Jurassic Park film . Over the course of five days from October 3 , 2016 to October 7 , 2016 , an untitled five - part animated series based on Lego Jurassic World was released on the YouTube channels of Jurassic World and LEGO . In October 2016 , the series was released as a 24 - minute animated film entitled Lego Jurassic World : The Indominus Escape as part of a Jurassic World DVD bundle set , receiving shared billing alongside the 2015 film . The film marks the first time an animated film spin - off of Jurassic Park has been released . The film is a prequel to Jurassic World , and features most of the primary adult characters on the island ( with the exception of Barry and Zara ) attempting to capture a hotdog - loving Indominus rex . Zachary Levi and Sendhil Ramamurthy joined Jake Johnson , Lauren Lapkus , Bryce Dallas Howard and B.D. Wong as voice actors . The film is directed by Michael D. Black , and The film received a 36 % audience score on Rotten Tomatoes . With the home media release of The Indominus Escape , a short film , Lego Jurassic World : Employee Safety Video , was released , featuring B.D. Wong , David Gunning , Jake Johnson and Lauren Lapkus reprising their roles from The Indominus Escape . Like The Indominus Escape , the short is set before the events of Jurassic World .

The series , titled Escape from Jurassic Park , would have consisted of 23 episodes for its first season . The series would have centered on John Hammond 's attempts to finish Jurassic Park and open it to the public , while InGen 's corporate rival Biosyn is simultaneously planning to open their own dinosaur theme park in Brazil , which ultimately ends with their dinosaurs escaping into the jungles . If produced , it was believed that the project would be the most expensive animated series up to that time . Jeff Segal , president of Universal Cartoon Studios , said , `` We are developing a TV series that we anticipate would be computer animated and very sophisticated . However , Spielberg has not had a chance yet to look at either the material or the format for the series . '' Segal said Universal was considering the possibility of developing the series for prime time . Segal said about the series ' storyline , `` It would essentially pick up from the closing moments of the movie and it would continue the story in a very dramatic way . The intention would be to continue with the primary characters and also introduce new characters . '' Segal also said the series would be aimed specifically at the same target audience as the film , while hoping that it would also appeal to young children . Animation veteran and comic artist Will Meugniot ( then working at Universal Cartoon Studios for various projects , including Exosquad ) contacted artist William Stout to ask if he would be interested in designing the animated series . According to Stout , `` This was not going to be a kiddy show ( although kids of all ages , including myself , could enjoy it ) . They wanted the show to be a mature prime time series with top writers and state - of - the - art television animation augmented with quite a bit of CG animation . '' Universal Animation Studios wanted the show to have the look of a graphic novel . Stout was hired to work on the series and subsequently made a trailer to demonstrate how the series would look , and how it would combine traditional animation with computer animation . The series required Spielberg 's final approval before it could go into production . However , Spielberg had grown tired of the massive promotion and merchandise revolving around the film , and never watched the trailer . On July 13 , 1993 , Margaret Loesch , president of the Fox Children 's Network , confirmed that discussions had been held with Spielberg about an animated version of the film . Loesch also said , `` At least for now and in the foreseeable future , there will not be an animated Jurassic Park . That 's Steven Spielberg 's decision , and we respect that decision . '' Part three of the four - part comic adaptation of The Lost World : Jurassic Park , published by Topps Comics in July 1997 , confirmed to readers that a cartoon series based on the film was in development . In November 1997 , it was reported that the cartoon would be accompanied by Jurassic Park : Chaos Effect , a series of dinosaur toys produced by Kenner and based on a premise that scientists had created dinosaur hybrids consisting of DNA from different creatures . The new toys were based on the upcoming cartoon . That month , it was also reported that the cartoon could be ready by March 1998 , as a mid-season replacement . The Chaos Effect toyline was released in June 1998 , but the animated series was never produced , for unknown reasons . In the short - lived toyline , the dinosaurs in this line are the results of scientists combining the DNA of dinosaurs with other dinosaurs and modern day animals . The following dinosaurs are in this category : Amargospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Amargasaurus and a Spinosaurus . Ankyloranodon -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Ankylosaurus and a Pteranodon . Compstegnathus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Compsognathus , a Stegosaurus , and an African tree frog . Deinonycanis -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Deinonychus and a dire wolf . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Dilophospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Dilophosaurus and a Spinosaurus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Omega T - Rex -- A genetically - advanced Tyrannosaurus where it does not have any of the Tyrannosaurus weaknesses . Pachysaurolophus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Pachycephalosaurus and a Parasaurolophus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Paradeinonychus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Parasaurolophus and a Deinonychus . Raptor Alpha -- A genetically - advanced Velociraptor that specializes in hunting at night due to its camouflage ability working best at night . Stegospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Stegosaurus and a Spinosaurus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Tanaconda -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Tanystropheus and an anaconda . Thrasher T - Rex -- A genetically - advanced Tyrannosaurus that is similar to Omega T - Rex . Tyrannonops -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Tyrannosaurus and a Lycaenops . Ultimasaurus -- A hybrid dinosaur that has the upper jaw of a Triceratops , the lower jaw and body of a Tyrannosaurus , the arms and legs of a Velociraptor , the back armor of an Ankylosaurus , and the spike - tipped tail of a Stegosaurus . Velociraptoryx -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Velociraptor and an Archaeopteryx . Amargospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Amargasaurus and a Spinosaurus . Ankyloranodon -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Ankylosaurus and a Pteranodon .
