Jurassic World Rebirth Film Details
Jurassic World Rebirth is a 2025 American science fiction action film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp. It takes place three years after Jurassic World Dominion (2022), and is the fourth Jurassic World film as well as the seventh installment overall in the Jurassic Park franchise. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein. In Jurassic World Rebirth, the world’s dinosaurs live around the equator, which provides the last viable climate for them to survive. A team travels to a former island research facility where the three largest prehistoric animals reside, with the goal of extracting samples that are vital for a heart disease treatment. The team also rescues a shipwrecked family, and both groups struggle to survive after becoming stranded on the island.
Work on the film began shortly after the release of Jurassic World Dominion, when executive producer Steven Spielberg recruited Koepp to help him develop a new installment in the series. Koepp previously co-wrote the original Jurassic Park film (1993) and wrote its sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). Development of Rebirth was first reported in January 2024. Edwards was hired as director a month later, and casting commenced shortly thereafter. Principal photography took place in Thailand, Malta, and the United Kingdom from June to September 2024.
Jurassic World Rebirth premiered on June 17, 2025, at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, and was released in the United States and Canada by Universal Pictures on July 2. The film received mixed reviews from critics, though some deemed it an improvement over previous entries. It has grossed $768 million worldwide against a budget of $180–225 million, making it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2025.

PRODUCTION
Development
Development on Jurassic World Rebirth began shortly after the release of Dominion, with an early story idea from Spielberg that features heavily in the final film. Spielberg had brought his idea to Koepp and asked him about writing a new film in the series, which led to an exchange of other ideas. Koepp took on the project upon learning how deeply involved Spielberg would be in crafting it. They worked closely to develop the screenplay over a six-month period, seeking to revive the tone of the original Jurassic Park trilogy, particularly the first film. Koepp also said, “We decided early on that, because the first and second trilogies have concluded their stories, let’s not restrict ourselves in any way – let’s have all-new characters in an all-new location.”
Koepp wanted to revisit the concept of humans in a dinosaur environment, whereas the two preceding films had shifted toward the animals living among people around the world, of which Koepp said, “I don’t know where else to go with that.” He felt this idea had been thoroughly explored, furthermore saying, “Once that happened, you can go anywhere in the world and you can have as many crazy dinosaur situations as you want. I was more limited. I find limitations freeing. . I think we actually had an easier time than the three Jurassic World movies because they got so big and that becomes hard to work with.”
Koepp and Spielberg devised a story involving a secret island facility, used for dinosaur research and development, then had to determine why characters would visit such a place. According to Koepp:
“While doing research, I found that certain dinosaurs, larger ones in particular, did have extraordinarily long lifespans and the reason was they had remarkably low incidences of heart disease. That led to the idea that a drug could be synthesized from their DNA, because the greatest killer of humans is heart disease.”
Ben Lamm, co-founder of Colossal Biosciences, said the premise is realistic: “There’s hidden cures and hidden data in all these species that we’re losing.” The idea of mutant dinosaurs was inspired by the hybridized dinosaurs in earlier Jurassic World films; Koepp said that he and Spielberg realized the hybrids “can’t all have gone well. This is genetic experimentation. Things are not going to work out sometimes.” Initially, Koepp planned to feature the character Atwater more heavily, having him eventually partner with Krebs to betray the others.
Before writing the script, Koepp rewatched the preceding six films in the franchise. He also reread Crichton’s Jurassic Park novels, for the first time in nearly 30 years, incorporating concepts from both books. Rebirth includes a sequence from the first novel that was cut from its film adaptation, in which characters in a raft must escape from a Tyrannosaurus rex. A monologue by the character Henry Loomis was also pulled from the novel, and additionally includes an un-used line of dialogue that Koepp wrote for the character Ian Malcolm in an early draft of Jurassic Park.
Aside from the inclusion of dinosaurs, Koepp had no story requirements to follow in writing the script, although he did compile a list of rules for himself; among these was that the film be based on accurate science, that it not retcon any events from the previous films, and that humorous dialogue be included. He also sought to depict the non-mutant dinosaurs as animals rather than monsters, stating that their actions are driven by either hunger or territorial defense.
By September 2023, Koepp had begun writing the screenplay in earnest, turning in a draft three months later. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, producers of the Jurassic World trilogy, would return for Rebirth. Although another installment was expected at some point, Marshall and Crowley were unaware that Spielberg was already working on the project until the first draft was turned in. With a mid-2025 release date being targeted, the producers were surprised by the limited amount of production time, but they soon determined it to be adequate.
