It’s been more than a decade since the last Jurassic Park sequel, and Spielberg’s royalty checks are starting to run a little dry, so writers have been hired to develop the script for Jurassic Park 4, taking it in a ‘completely different direction.’ So long as that direction still involves cloned dinosaurs and lots of money.

But it’s okay, they have a pair of seasoned completely-different-direction-same-great-taste writers on the job – Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa, the pair who put together the script for Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, which has pretty much the regular Jurassic Park plot but with intelligent monkeys instead of dinosaurs.

Why do we need a Jurassic Park sequel now, you ask? Because Universal Studios is all about money-making franchises right now, and the Jurassic series has made the studio just under $2 billion at the box office (and much, much more on merchandise), and they figure that nobody’s ever going to get tired of watching dinosaurs eat humans, fight each other, and break stuff.

Which, I mean. Is true.
