The nextJurassic Worldfilm,Jurassic World: Rebirth, is said to feel like the original film trilogy as the upcoming feature brought in one of its classic writers.David Koeppwill be penning the upcoming sci- fi film, over 20 years since he wroteThe Lost World: Jurassic Park. According to him,Rebirthis said to have a change of tone and will feel more akin to the original trilogy.
In an interview withThe Discourse Podcast, Koepp said he noticed how the newer films changed their tone and how he and Spielberg were thinking about reeling it back to what it was like in the original trilogy. He also said that returning to the franchise and this world was “really fun” and even compiled a “list of nine commandments” that the newest film had to abide by. One of them was not to contradict or retcon the events of the previous films.
“I hope people like the movie because the series tended to change after [Jurassic Park III], and it felt like, ‘Okay, so let’s change our tone.’ Steven [Spielberg] and I were interested in a tone that was maybe more akin to the very first movie. I saw it early on as a mission movie. I like things that are driven by bottles, by containment. Developing a limited team and a thing that they have to accomplish – that was all really fun. And it was just fun to return to that world of great adventure backed by real science and write some cool new characters. You don’t often get a chance to have a blank slate and say, ‘What do you want to do?’ There were no franchise expectations other than dinosaurs."
Koepp is a screenwriter who has worked on multiple films, such as 1993’sJurassic Parkand 1997’sThe Lost World: Jurassic Park. Was involved in many other notable projects, such as 1996’sMission Impossible, 2002’sSpider-Man,Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,and 2017’sThe Mummy.Koepp received numerous nominations and won a handful of awards throughout his career. His work on Jurassic Park won “Best Writing” for the 1994 Saturn Award.
