JURASSIC PARK is quite probably my ultimate movie, my favourite film, at the top of my all-time Top 5 and so JURASSIC WORLD has a lot to live up to but with Colin Trevorrow on-board and continual talk of good things happening and now the news they’re shooting on the big stuff, well, bring on 2015!
Director Trevorrow has announced that he’s working with cinematographer John Schwartzman, a man who also worked on the likes of ARMAGEDDON, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and SAVING MR BANKS so he knows how to make things look big and equally interesting. The film will be shot on both 35mm film and large format in the shape of 65mm, which isn’t too far away from IMAX.
JURASSIC WORLD is happily shrouded in secrecy and I think this is a good thing. Many films these days are happy to show everything 24/7 so a little Christopher Nolan-style shut down on the set is fine by me. Here’s that tweet:
Honored to be working with cinematographer John Schwartzman on Jurassic World, shooting this April on 35mm and 65mm film. @Kodak @Panavision

The film is set for a June 12th, 2015 release in both the USA and UK. It’s set to star Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jake Johnson, Nick Robinson, Irrfan Khan and Ty Simpkins – plus – maybe some hidden cameos from the old guard? We can dream and in the meantime, see how the Stan Winston School made that T-Rex here!
