Jurassic Park 4 has a name, and will be 3D

Jurassic Park 4 is scheduled to appear in theaters in June 2015. Colin Trevorrow (“Safety Not Guaranteed”) will direct Jurassic Park 4.

Universal Pictures said Tuesday it will release Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic World” in 3D on Friday, June 12 of 2015.

Colin Trevorrow (“Safety Not Guaranteed”) is directing the epic action-adventure from a draft of the screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley join the team as fellow producers.

The first three films in the series have taken in $1.9 billion and this year’s 3D re-release of the original film, “Jurassic Park,” has brought in $114 million globally.

The 3D re-release of the original did very well in China, quickly soaring to No.1 at the box office in late August.

The original "Jurassic Park," which never played in China, was a bona fide blockbuster when it came out in 1993, eventually bringing in $970 million worldwide. It topped another Spielberg film, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," to become the highest-grossing film up to that time.

Two sequels followed, “The Lost World” in 1997 and “Jurassic Park 3″ in 2001.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”
