After languishing in limbo for years, "Jurassic Park 4" has a pair of new writers.
Deadline reports that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver have been tapped by Universal Pictures to pen the script.
The franchise began in 1993 with the Steven Spielberg-directed "Jurassic Park," based on the book by Michael Crichton. It was followed in 1997 by "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," which was again based on a Crichton novel. "Jurassic Park III" arrived in 2001. Combined, the three films grossed $1.9 billion worldwide.
The third film earned significantly less than the first two and a fourth film has never been able to get off the ground. Even with the new of new writer, the project is anything but a guarantee.
According to Deadline's report, Spielberg will not return the fourth installment, but will produce along with Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall.
Universal plans to re-release the original "Jurassic Park" in 3D in July 2013.
