Most descriptions of Jurassic Park 4, aka Jurassic World, have described it as a reboot, but that’s led to a lack of clarity over whether it does restart the franchise and ignore the past, or if it’s just a reboot in terms of breathing new life into a film series that has been dormant for several year.
Director Colin Trevorrow was asked about whether it was a full reboot, and replied by letting us know a little more about when the film is set. He tweeted ‘@pfcbains916 Reboot is a strong word. This is a new sci-fi terror adventure set 22 years after the horrific events of Jurassic Park.’

Vladimr Putin keeps insiting Russia is homophobic and new laws aren’t about adding official backing to the demonisation of LGBT people, but simply ensure ‘non-traditional relationships’ aren’t promoted to minors.

We always like to hear from filmmakers who are planning new gay-themed movies, so it was great to get a message from Gregory G. Allen, co-producer and screenwriter of the upcoming movie He Is Gone.
