'Jurassic World 2' production update: Filming in UK and Hawaii

Filming of “Jurassic World 2” will reportedly begin from Feb. 27, 2017. The confirmed filming locations so far are UK and Hawaii. The title and plot of the movie have not been revealed by the producers yet.

According to a report by Jurassic Outpost the working title of the movie is “Ancient Futures.” Readers should note that the working titles are very different from the actual title of the movie.

The report notes that Feb. 27 may not be the actual date when the cameras start rolling. This could also be the date when the crew will start building the sets at the filming locations.

Although the cast and crew will travel to Hawaii, the primary filming location will be Pinewood Studios in London.

While the plot of the movie remains under wraps, the filming location of Hawaii suggests that the film will return to Isla Nublar, the fictitious island that houses the dinosaur theme park. The islands of Kauai and Molokai in Hawaii were used as locations to film all three “Jurassic Park” movies.

The dinosaur theme park is expected to be shut down in “Jurassic World 2,” after the events of the first movie. The plot may now look at who gets the DNA samples that were stolen in the first movie and how they are used.

So far, the only confirmed cast members of the movie are Chris Pratt as the dinosaur trainer Owen and Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire. More casting details are expected to be announced closer to the start of filming.

J.A. Bayona will be helming “Jurassic World 2,” and Colin Trevorrow is currently working on the script of the movie. Trevorrow was initially supposed to direct the movie, but he had to drop the responsibility after he was given the opportunity to helm “Star Wars: Episode IX.”
