Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey in Jurassic World Rebirth — Universal

The final movie in the Jurassic World trilogy just hit theaters back in 2022, but given the tremendous success of that trilogy, it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that Universal isn’t planning to kill the franchise just yet. In fact, we already have an image and a title for the franchise’s soft reboot. Jurassic World: Rebirth will star Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, and it is currently slated for a July 2025 release.

According to Collider, he movie is set five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, and is premised on a world where the planet’s ecology has become inhospitable to dinosaurs. As a result, the creatures are now kept in isolated, equatorial environments. The movie follows Johansson’s character, a special operations expert, as she leads a mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs. That material will be used to develop a groundbreaking new drug.

This story takes a turn when Zora and her team discover a family that has shipwrecked on an island that is hiding a dark secret.

Needless to say, it will be a slight departure from the previous trilogy, which started by imagining a version of Jurassic Park that still operated as an attraction.

Johansson is joined by Bailey, who plays paleontologist Jonathan Bailey, as well as Mahershala Ali as team leader Duncan Kincaid. The film is being directed by Rogue One and The Creator director Gareth Edwards, and is based on a screenplay from David Koepp who also wrote the original Jurassic Park. Given how quickly this sequel came together and the stellar team that’s been assembled, excitement is likely to continue to mount until the movie hits theaters.

A new version of a cult-classic serial killer movie may be hitting screens soon

The 2000 movie has become a cult classic in certain corners of the internet.

Christian Bale in American Psycho

There's already been one adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho, and it's a genuinely great thriller. Even so, Luca Guadagnino is apparently getting ready to adapt the novel to the big screen again. The director, who is best known for films like Challengers and Call Me By Your Name, is partnering with Lionsgate on the new adaptation, according to Variety.

The film, which was written by Scott Z. Burns, is not a remake of the 2000 version of American Psycho, but is instead a new adaptation of the original novel. That 2000 film starred Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a successful New York City businessman who had a secret double life as a serial killer.

The 16 undisputed best comedy movies of all time

These comedies are sure to soothe your soul, and they've stood the test of time for decades

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally

There are plenty of people who believe that certain kinds of movies are harder to make than others. Sure, a great war movie has a massive budget, and it has to both excite its audience and leave them thinking, and great action movies have to coordinate complicated stunts that feel inventive and daring, but there may be no genre more difficult to nail than comedy.

A great comedy can soothe your soul, but great comedy means writing the kinds of jokes that stand the test of time and that are still funny decades after they were written. Because comedy is always changing, that can be almost impossible. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of great comedy movies, but the best comedy movies on this list are the ones that rise above the pack. Their jokes endure, and no matter when they were released, you'll find watching them delightful whenever you happen to turn them on.
