Often bringing child actors into franchises can be cheesy, but Ty Simpkins was a great little addition to Iron Man 3. It was obviously a good showcase for the young actor, as the 12-year-old has signed on for a lead role in Jurassic World, according to Deadline.
New Girl and Drinking Buddies star Jake Johnson is said to be in contention for an unspecified role, although the studio has not confirmed his possible involvement. If he signs on, the actor will reunite with his Safety Not Guaranteed director Colin Trevorrow. A few weeks ago it was revealed that Bryce Dallas Howard is in talks for the film, and it appears she still hasn’t signed on the dotted line.
The film will apparently take us back to the original Jurassic Park island, which is now a working theme park with real-life dinosaurs. The film is due for release on June 12th, 2015.
Brit actor James D’Arcy’s Stateside exposure has certainly been helped in the last few months by Cloud Atlas, and Hitchcock. It’s helped him score a role in a slightly more mainstream project, Let’s Be Cops, according to 
Damon Wayans Jr has spent the last couple of years starring in the sitcom Happy Endings, but now he’s hoping to follow in his father’s comedy movie footsteps with Let’s Be Cops.
