Universal Pushes ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Release All the Way to June 10, 2022
While theaters battle to survive the ongoing pandemic, Universal Pictures is shifting its latest Jurassic Park/World franchise sequel an entire year.
Originally set to hit theaters next June, Jurassic World: Dominion will now stomp into theaters on June 10, 2022.
The title is presumably a reference to the fact that the dinosaurs now have dominion over the world, free from the island and unleashed into the population at the end of Fallen Kingdom.
Guess who’s fallen to the bottom of the food chain…
Directed this time by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Dominion sounds like the title to a horror movie, and indeed the film’s general premise would seem to suggest that Hell is about to be unleashed upon Earth!
The cast includes familiar and new faces such as Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, Dichen Lachman, Mamoudou Athie, DeWanda Wise and Scott Haze.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
