Apes Writers For Jurassic Park 4

Universal has hired Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver to script Jurassic Park 4,reports Deadline.

The sequel has been a long time coming – Jurassic Park 3 was released way back in 2001 – but then Spielberg is no stranger to belated fourth movies, as Indiana Jones And the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull proves.

Not that Spielberg will be directing this new dino fest. As with the third film – which was directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger) – Spielberg will let someone else call the shots, but will be producing alongside Kathleen Kennedy.

So, who do you think should direct Jurassic Park 4? It’s unlikely that cinema’s other premiere purveyor of giant monster movies, Guillermo del Toro, could fit it in his schedule, and Gareth Edwards (Monsters) is busy with Godzilla (ironically, considering The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2 opened around the same time as the last Hollywood Godzilla). How about Drew Goddard?
