“This is a wrap for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” wrote director Juan Antonio Bayona. “What a journey! Thank you to everyone that made it possible.”
Producer Frank Marshall first teased a forthcoming end to production last week, thanking crew in both London and Hawaii where filming was taking place.
Colin Trevorrow, who directed the first Jurassic World and co-wrote the sequel, congratulated Bayona, the cast and crew, posting an image of the director with his face between a dinosaur’s teeth.
Last month, the official title was revealed along with a poster featuring Jeff Goldblum’s iconic character Dr. Ian Malcolm’s line “Life finds a way” as the tagline. Goldblum will — as well publicised — be returning to the franchise.
Chris Pratt returns once more as lead protagonist, the actor saying of the film: [Fallen Kingdom] is going to be a scarier version, a little bit darker, and will continue to expand and carry the story forward in a way that is really unexpected and you wouldn't have imagined.”
Other details to have been revealed include the return of the Dilophosaurus (AKA the petrifying frilly one) and Rexy the T-Rex (from Spielberg's original).
Also starring Bryce Dallas Howard, B. D. Wong, and James Cromwell, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom reaches cinemas in June 2018.
