'Jurassic Park 4' to Start Filming in Hawaii in April? [VIDEO]
Jurassic World will start filming in Hawaii in April, according to one of the producers of the film.
The film will also be shot in New Orleans. Producer Patrick Crowley spoke to the Honolulu Pulse over the phone from New Orleans. He revealed that filming will go on for about six weeks in Hawaii, and will be shot in Oahu and Kauai.
The producer also explained why Hawaii was the ideal location giving the verdurous setting and accessibility as reasons.
"It has the best jungle in the world," he said. "A little bit of green goes a long way. There is fabulous jungle there. And it's relatively accessible. You need to go to the Amazon to get what you need."
Earlier last month it had been announced announced that the film will begin shooting in Louisiana on June 2.
The new film will be a sequel and not a reboot according to director Colin Trevorrow. The director suggested that the film, which is now titled Jurassic World, will be set 22 years in the future. The details came to light when a fan asked the filmmaker to confirm rumors about the film being a reboot.
The Jurassic Park films are based on Michael Crichton's series of novels about pre-historic beasts being revived by revolutionary gene technology. Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley are co-producing the film alongside Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two installments in the franchise.
The film will hit theaters on June 12, 2015.
