‘Jurassic Park 4′ gets a release date

Universal Pictures has announced a release date for “Jurassic Park 4.” The latest installment will see the latest encounter between man and dinosaur, in 3D, on June 13th, 2014. No director is yet attached, but now that a script has been submitted by writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the search will begin.

The third, and most recent, installment in the “Jurassic Park” series was released to mixed-to-positive reviews—and robust box-office numbers—in the summer of 2001, with director Joe Johnson assuming the reins from Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two films. Spielberg has remained with the franchise as a producer.

“Jurassic Park 4” will be the first in the series to be shot in 3D. The groundbreaking special effects for which the “Jurassic Park” series has been known should provide quite the attraction in that format.
