New Jurassic Park Movie Reveals GODZILLA Director Gareth Edwards

[@MistaGoodbytes]

Great news! Monsters and Godzilla are full of Jurassic Park references and Gareth Edwards' style of direction is perfect for a Jurassic movie. With David Koepp writing the script and now the news that Edwards will be directing, I'm starting to feel really positive about this movie. I think this will mark a return to the more grounded realism of JP and TLW. I’m already more excited about this than I was for any of the Jurassic World movies.

[@kdusel1991]

I like Jurassic World. That to me at least was the only sequel worth watching. Lost World is only good when the dinosaurs start attacking people and the scene where the T Rex runs through San Fran.

Did he, though? It's a widely known fact that Tony Gilroy was the one who helmed the extensive reshoots (including most of the third act) and rewrites. Rogue One is what it is thanks to him. I wouldn't really pick that film to rate Gareth Edwards' qualities as a director.

[@SPKINK_GABY]

Agree The best

[@DesX42S]

This is the kind of director the Jurassic franchise needed. His movies are mixed; so are all the Jurassic movies, even the first one. He has a great eye and understanding of special effects, and we know he can do creature features and sci-fi that is still focused on human characters.

[@lukebaxter3252]

If Gareth is good at one thing, it's establishing a sense of scale and scope. That would be important for a Jurassic film. And his VFX background may help as well. Either way, if he does become director, I'd be excited, because I'm a fan of his work.

[@KhanSaab-pi6sw]

Omg, YES!!! This gives me hope for the franchise, I loved Edward's direction of Godzilla 2014. The dark tone and atmosphere is exactly what this franchise needs

[@ihavetoreturnsomevideotape2760]

The first time ive been excited for Jurassic Park news in a long time....this guy blew me away with what he did in Godzilla....I feel like he can bring back the grandeur and awe, and make the dinosaurs terrifying again...

[@tomconnell655]

I LOVE the 2014 Godzilla film so to hear that Gareth Edward is directing gives me unhealthy amounts of confidence

[@brendandulaca3147]

VERY VERY Happy with Gareth Edwards being the director. He was my top choice for who I believed would be the perfect director for a Jurassic movie, so I'm very happy to see that wish be fulfilled!! I'm hoping for a similar tone to Godzilla 2014!! 🦖🦕

[@animezilla4486]

It doesn't have to be like Godzilla 2014

[@brendandulaca3147]

@@animezilla4486 I don't mean an exact copy of Godzilla 2014, but I would like for the film to have a similar atmosphere as well as similar cinematography to Godzilla 2014. The franchise definitely needs to be more grounded and fans want it to have a more horror esque tone, something that Godzilla 2014 has. In my opinion, Godzilla 2014 is the perfect blueprint for what a Jurassic movie should be like!!

[@Pandarek115]

As a Godzilla fan, yes, I'm glad he's taking the role as director for this film, looking forward for his take on the franchise!

[@TryhardNoob1954]

Man this movie is gonna be great, as fine as I was with David Leitch, Edwards is just an excellent choice. Looking forward to this.

[@coldinwisconsin2017]

We need more close-quarters scenes like the kitchen scene, Battle at Big Rock, etc. THOSE are the most suspenseful. And killing off a main character unexpectedly will make it that much better!

[@gavincole3359]

I agree. When I first watched Jirassic Park as a kid, that kitchen scene with the raptors legit gave me nightmares. This is what the franchise needs, more darker, grittier, suspenseful, and unknown scenes.

[@migsyh2065]

I always wanted Gareth Edwards make a Jurassic movie since I love his work on Godzilla and The Creator Holy cow Im actually excited for this

[@wafagdplqs4421]

Now this is a pretty good choice in my opinion because this can open the door for more horror.

[@animezilla4486]

Horror?

[@SirKemzyGodle]

@@animezilla4486Well, less “horror” and more of a darker, grounded tone I’d say. Gareth has been pretty good at accomplishing that in the films he’s directed.

[@aaronradcliff4655]

I’m really happy with this news. I wasn’t super thrilled when Leitch was announced, and I like Edwards a lot. I think his approach and sense of scale works a better with Jurassic Park

[@channelgrantito7662]

I trust this guy far more than the last. The style of his work is more akin to Spielberg, and if the Vader hallway scene from Rogue One or any scene starring Godzilla, Edwards will more than likely make Dinosaurs in Jurassic World feel as scary and threatening as they did in the original film (or even more akin to the books). Also, dude, I gotta get some kind of contact with you because I got a fan film pitch you might love

[@lutherheggs451]

Pretty sure the Vader hallway scene was shot by Tony Gillroy in reshoots.

[@FTChomp9980]

[@jackmills7758]

The good thing about Gareth is he understands CGI a lot more than most directors do

[@devilman4018]

That's good to hear! I liked his Godzilla film! And the Vader scene in Rogue one was also really cool, so this guy knows how to do fan service!

[@Cattle_Snacks]

Pleasant surprise to get Gareth Edwards. I enjoyed Godzilla 2014 with exception of how Bryan Cranston’s character was handled in the end. Edwards’ movies are breathtaking when it comes cinematography.

[@richardrobertsDN38416]

I felt exactly the same about what they did to brian cranston, i was so invested in him and him finding out the truth but we move focus to his boring son for the rest of the movie

[@Cattle_Snacks]

@@richardrobertsDN38416 Yeah exactly. I was hoping the movie would center around Cranston’s character. (Spoiler) Instead he’s killed off in the first half. It was disappointing at the time because “Breaking Bad” was peak popularity around that time in 2014. The film was basically marketed as Walter White meets Godzilla. Regardless, Gareth Edwards has some directing strengths that makes this choice intriguing.

[@isam95]

Edwards’ Godzilla is a masterpiece in my mind, they could not have chosen a better director.

[@patrickpoti3084]

Gareth Edward is a perfect fit for Jurassic. I hope they seal the deal.

[@TheJmall88]

He's a great choice for 👍 directing the movie. Godzilla (2014) is awesome, and Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie since Disney took over and is in my top 5 favorite Star Wars movies. I'm so happy with this pick with the director.

[@andresdeleon5160]

This is great news for Jurassic world 4, in fact I love this director of the 2014 Godzilla movie.

[@shainewhite2781]

Gareth Edwards directed a pretty impressive Sci Fi Action movie called THE CREATOR nominated for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound. I did enjoy Godzilla and Rogue One, which is one of the best Star Wars movies ever made.

[@Gzilla313]

The original writer of Jurassic Park and the director of Monsters/Godzilla/Rogue One… this is the most excited I’ve been for a Jurassic movie since the first Jurassic World film. GE is a master of slow burn monster films, as oppose to the Jurassic World film style. They could not have gotten a better director for this project!

[@ChrisMeadows1992]

Gareth Edwards is one of the best possible choices Spielberg could have made. His Godzilla film is absolutely terrific and Rogue One has grown on me since it first released. Pair him with David Koepp and we have possibly our first true Jurassic Park III sequel.

[@wrnjxn7131]

Oh my GOD. Perfect choice, Godzilla '14 was amazing and a new Jurassic film with that elegant touch would be incredibly welcome. Between he and Koepp, this franchise is in good hands. What a blessing.

[@lonellfletcher]

With you on everything. Gareth and David being involved relaxes me a bit, though I also am worried about the speed of production. What are they in such a hurry for? A well-crafted film is worth waiting for.

[@MatthewMcCune-s7o]

I'm thinking this could be more of a spin-off, than a prequel or a sequel. Could explain why this movie is so time crunched like it is, because it may not be intended to be a 2 hour plus movie. Naw man, it could have a running time similar to JP3, which was about an hour 'en 15 minutes, or something like that.

[@ChuckM0503]

This is a solid choice. His style and tone is much closer to what I think most fans are hoping the franchise will return to. More grounded, and serious. At least on the face of it, it feels like a better fit then Leitch did.

[@hunteryt2462]

So glad they are making another movie

[@greatjob2023]

I couldn't be happier. For me, Gareth has the potential to deliver the best Jurassic sequel of them all. His directing style reminds me even pf that of 80's Spielberg. And with Spielbergs praise for Edwards, this comes to no surprise.

[@durgapur_97]

The main criticism of Godzilla 2014 was the spooky, mysterious and darker undertone of the movie. The Godzilla franchise is exactly what’s supposed to be the modern Transformers analogue: loud, trashy and vapid. Hence, Godzilla 2014 didn’t really make it as big as it could’ve. Gareth Edwards was tailor made for the JP/JW franchise. He knows how to create tension, how to set the atmosphere, and how to treat these behemoths like the actual scary monsters that they are instead of some personified caricature of good or evil on a giant scale. The exact criticisms of Godzilla 2014 are what make me optimistic for this new entry.

[@ATR022190]

2 things Gareth Edwards nails are scale and tone. Definitely interested to see what he can do with Jurassic.

[@Godtrilla]

This is the best JP news I've heard in years! Grounded is the best word to use and what I'm most excited about with him being the director finally we may get a serious JP movie

[@cretaceousthehunted9669]

I was happy that Gareth Edwards would tackle Jurassic Park 7. A long time ago, I posted a poll on my KZbin community page asking my audience who would be a great director for a future Jurassic World sequel, and Gareth Edwards was one of them. Little did I know he would be the one. Godzilla 2014 is my favorite Godzilla movie ever, and it made me a Godzilla fan today, all thanks to Gareth. Since Jurassic Park got me into filmmaking and Godzilla 2014 got me into Godzilla, it's incredible how the director of the latter is now involved with a Jurassic World sequel. I hope Gareth does this new movie justice!

[@LBTElectricDinoOnline]

Awesome video on the upcoming Jurassic Movie being directed by Gareth Edwards and I’m very surprised that he’s directing the Jurassic Movie after the 2014 Godzilla Movie which that movie was my favorite and I hope he does a lot better than Colin Trevorrow and Life Definitely Finds A Way with this big time. Great work on this Klayton and as always, Take It Easy and Life Finds A Way.

[@bigalgames7963]

As a huge Jurassic fan, I hope this movie will become to this franchise like what Prey was to the Predator franchise. Even the situation with their directors are sounding similar to me now. Dan Trachtenberg proved his capability with 10 Cloverfield Lane and then directed a film for a franchise that desperately needed saving. Gareth Edwards has proved his capabilities even more so than Trachtenberg has, having done more films, and now might help create a movie for a franchise that, while still successful financially, also kinda needs saving.

There are other good canidates to direct J7, but getting Gareth Edwards for the spot is great, especially since it's short notice. Actually it couldn't be anymore perfect. I just love the prospect of having a director who actually did direct a movie about big-scary reptiles & other horiffic movie monsters. This would be right up Gareths ally. It's kinda sad pointing out that his 2014 Godzilla movie did have more Jurassic Park inspiration than Collin Trevorow's the entire World trilogy. Klaiton was right though, I had to agree when I heard him mention about that part. But that's how you know he's just right for the job. & with David Koepp with his supposium prestine script... well anyway, that's a slamdunk shot all the way around. Sure it would have been nice to have Steven Speilberg to make a comeback as director. I feel like if this project was really in desperate need for a film director, he probably might have stepped up to the plate & took another badda-badda swing at his beloved franchise once more, but yeah... he doesn't wanna direct movies anymore. So anyway yeah, bring on the guy who brought us the future king of the monsters. There ain't no doubt on my mind this movie will be bitchin either way.

[@thunderducky4906]

Gareth Edwards is a good choice, I loved how he did Godzilla (2014) and how he did Rogue One (2016), especially the scene with the AT-AT on Scariff. He handled Godzilla well with my only complaint being that Godzilla kind of took a backseat and we didn't get to see him that often but felt like enough, if you know what I am trying to say?
