Gareth Edwards dropped everything to direct this movie stating: "I was about to take a break and I started writing my next idea for a film and this is the only movie that would make me drop everything like a stone and dive right in. I love Jurassic Park. I think the first movie is a cinematic masterpiece...so this opportunity is like a dream to me. And to work with Frank Marshall and Universal and David Koepp, who's writing the script, I think they're all legends. So I'm just very excited."
David Leitch was attached to direct but turned it down because of creative differences between him and the studio so Gareth Edwards will now direct the film.
