LOS ANGELES (AP) - Colin Trevorrow is taking the reins of "Jurassic Park."
Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment announced Thursday that the 36-year-old director will helm "Jurassic Park 4."
Trevorrow made his feature film directorial debut with last year's "Safety Not Guaranteed."
Steven Spielberg is executive producing "Jurassic Park 4," which is set for release in 3-D on June 13, 2014. The script was written by "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.
The first two "Jurassic Park" films were directed by Spielberg, while the third installment was helmed by "Captain America" director Joe Johnston.
The dinosaur franchise has grossed $1.9 billion at the box office worldwide since the first film was released in 1993.

So Elvis Costello is gonna start directing?
I sure hope this sequel will have annoying children in it to the point where you root for the Velociraptors' Revenge.
The original movie was okay but compared to the book it sucked. The second and third movies sucked, I suspect this one will also suck but since it will be full of computer-generated special effects it will get rave reviews.
@Furd No kidding! Anyone remember how bad the 4th Jaws movie sucked? I mean REALLY, how bad it sucked????
@Zoso @Furd Never got past the first Jaws.
I was hoping an asteroid had hit this franchise, but alas it lives on. I liked the first movie a lot.
I'm pretty sure part 4 will suck, just like the second and third movies did...but I'm really looking forward to seeing the first Jurassic Park in theaters again next month. It's one of my favorite movies.
How many "Dinosaurs Eat Humans" movies do we really need?
Another one? Why don't they just make it an overbudgeted TV show already?
@Zoso I thought they already did. I think the show was called Lost world, but maybe I'm thinking of something else
@choliscott I think you're thinking of the 2nd movie. I actually had to Google to make sure there wasn't a show! LOL!
