The first Jurassic World turned out to be a bigger hit than anyone imagined, and it quickly broke box office records. To no one’s surprise, the movie was granted at least two sequels.
Jurassic World 2 has been slated for a summer 2018 release, and the pre-production stages of the film are finally starting to wrap up. Before too long, the cast and crew will be gearing up to start filming another larger-than-life dino blockbuster.
