According to Variety, actor Scarlett Johansson revealed that she will be the main character in the upcoming Jurassic World, directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One), from a screenplay by David Koepp.
“I am an enormous Jurassic Park fan,” Johansson stated. She continued, “It is one of the first movies I remember seeing in theatres. I remember it so vividly. It was life-changing and mind-blowing. I cannot express how excited I am.”
Johansson fetched the script for the upcoming fourth Jurassic World movie, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The script is “so incredible” and will tell an entirely different story from the first three Jurassic World films.
The ensemble also includes Jonathan Bailey, David Iacono, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Luna Blaise, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo in the lead roles.
“David Koepp wrote it and returned after 30 years to write it and he’s so passionate about it,” Johannson added. “I’ve been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over 10 years. I’m like, ‘I’ll die in the first five minutes! I can get eaten by whatever! I’ll do the craft service!’ I’ll do anything for it. The fact that it’s happened this way at this time is unbelievable.”
The filming of Jurassic World 4 will take place in studios in Malta, the UK, and Thailand. Under Amblin Entertainment, Steven Spielberg is the film’s executive producer. Variety revealed that Frank Marshall, the producer of Jurassic Park, and his regular producing partner Patrick Crowley will be returning for the new installment.
