JOIN USThe director is already set to launch the television series Terra Nova on Fox besides working on the ideas for a possible revival of dinosaurs on the big screen, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Several years ago, the Oscar-winning director worked with Protosevich on a potential remake of Chan-wook Park's Oldboy that was to star Will Smith. That film ran into rights problems and didn't come to fruition, but Spielberg, who directed the first two Jurassic Park films and was an executive producer on the third, has since met twice with Protosevich to fashion a story for a potential fourth film in the franchise.
The franchise, born of the late Michael Crichton's 1990 novel, has been in cold storage since 2001, when Joe Johnston directed 'Jurassic Park III' from a script by Peter Buchman, Jim Taylor and Alexander Payne.
The third film grossed just USD 369 million worldwide while 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' grossed USD 915 million and USD 619 million, respectively.
