Jurassic World 2 Has Officially Begun Filming

Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World was a welcome return to the Jurassic Park universe, a slam-bang action film that, while nowhere in the same league as Steven Spielberg’s original, was still welcomed by fans as an improvement over the likes of the dreadful Jurassic Park 3. We must admit, it was interesting to see a take on the Jurassic Park concept that had moved forward in terms of technology, and to see an actual, operational Jurassic World for the first time. Naturally, though, things didn’t quite work out for that dinosaur-centric business venture. What is it about giant, man-eating reptiles and park malfunctions?
Now, we have confirmation that the still untitled Jurassic World 2 has begun filming. Confirmation comes from none other than Bryce Dallas Howard, who will be returning as Claire, her park manager character from the last film. She will presumably be joined by Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady and B.D. Wong’s Dr. Henry Wu, creator of the dinosaurs, who bid a hasty retreat from the island in the last film and lived to tell the tale. Howard tweeted about the beginning of filming, which you can see below.
“We have an asset out of containment. Put ACU on alert. This not a drill.”
