David Leitch Is Di-No Longer Directing Jurassic World 4

Earlier this week, it was reported that Jurassic World 4 had probably discovered a director in Bullet Practice’s David Leitch. Smash lower to now, and Leitch is not connected to the venture.

Per Deadline, Leitch and Common cut up amicably as a result of “inventive variations.” Earlier than then, it sounded just like the director was the frontrunner as a result of Common is “very excessive” on his upcoming flick, The Fall Man. And together with his action-movie chops, you possibly can see why they’d wish to get him on board to kickstart a brand new saga of people and dinosaurs for the long-running franchise. What went flawed? Sources talking to the Hollywood Reporter declare it wouldn’t have been a David Leitch film, only one directed by him.

Jurassic World 4 was formally unveiled in late January, however it’s apparently far alongside in growth that delicate prep and dino designs are already being cooked up. One supply stated there simply “[isn’t] sufficient time to work with new concepts,” even because it seems like Leitch wished so as to add some motion film spice into the combination. The implication is that Common actually simply wanted somebody to get the factor out the door for its already introduced summer time 2025 date, just like how Louis Leterrier was introduced on for Quick X after authentic director Justin Lin bowed out.

With Leitch gone, the hunt for a brand new director is on, although Deadline didn’t record any potential candidates, or who else was within the operating with him to helm the venture. Whereas characters from the unique two Jurassic trilogies aren’t coming again, it’s received a returning author in David Koepp, who penned the unique movie. With how essential that franchise is to Common’s theme park arm, you possibly can think about the studio goes to nail down a director sooner reasonably than later.

It hasn’t been that lengthy since Jurassic World Dominion, although, the franchise might in all probability stand to be gone a bit longer. The hole between Jurassic Park 3 and the unique Jurassic World was 14 years, and whereas anotheer certainly one of these was at all times within the playing cards, a three-year break doesn’t really feel fairly proper. And given how a lot Dominion appeared to have burned by the World collection’ remaining goodwill, a bit extra time away would certainly do it (and all of us) some good, don’t you suppose?

At time of writing, Jurassic World 4 continues to be locked in for July 2, 2025.
