Dinosaur film warned by Thai authorities not to repeat mistake of Leonardo DiCaprio film
Universal Pictures’ “Jurassic World 4” (title not yet officially confirmed) will use locations in Thailand, as well as studios in Malta and the United Kingdom.
The film directed by Gareth Edwards, produced by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, will star Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Luna Blaise and David Iacono.
The “Jurassic Park” franchise began with the Spielberg-directed film of the same name in 1993 and spawned two more films in 1997 and 2001. It also led to the three-film “Jurassic World” franchise starting in 2015.
With a screenplay by David Koepp, the new film is promoted as “an entirely new approach, launching a new Jurassic era, following three adults and three teenagers trapped on the island.”
The month-long production of the unit in Thailand was confirmed by the director general of the country’s Tourism Department, Jaturon Phakdeewanit. He said production will take place from June 13 to July 16 in locations including Bangkok, Trang, Phang Nga, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Additionally, the Huai To waterfall, within the Khao Phanom Bencha National Park in Krabi province, is expected to last a week. resumed.
Thai Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Phatcharavat Wongsuwan said Thailand was “honoured” to host the filming. However, he also warned of environmental damage. “They are strictly required to comply with relevant laws and regulations and not affect or harm natural resources and the environment,” Wongsuwan said in a statement posted on the National Parks Department’s Facebook page.
About 25 years ago, southern Thailand hosted the production of “The Beach,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Danny Boyle. This led to overtourism on Phi Phi Island and the closure of Maya Bay for several years while the beaches and scenery recovered.
Production in Malta, facilitated by Latina Productions and Malta Film Studios, is expected between July and September. The film is scheduled for release in July 2025.
