The dinosaurs of Jurassic World can go anywhere now. With only minor exceptions, the creatures had been enisled for most of the franchise’s five films, but at the conclusion of 2018’s Fallen Kingdom, several dinosaurs escaped. Now there’s no telling where they’ll turn up.
Some locations have already been confirmed. The Jurassic Park universe descends on Vancouver this spring, for instance.
The third instalment in the Jurassic World franchise, tentatively titled Arcadia, will film all over the globe next year, with shoots planned at London’s Pinewood Studios and the islands of Oahu and Malta. The production will also spend two weeks in Hollywood North, filming around Metro Vancouver between Feb. 24 and Mar. 6.
If you thought it was weird seeing dead bodies and zombie horses in downtown Vancouver last month, just wait until Gastown is beset by velociraptors.

Keep your eyes peeled for the film’s A-list cast of humans as well. In addition to returning stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, who play the trilogy’s leads, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing, the third film will also include appearances from original Jurassic Park cast members Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and BD Wong.
Also returning is writer/director Colin Trevorrow, who penned and helmed the first Jurassic World film before ceding the chair to J.A. Bayona for the 2018 sequel, based on a Trevorrow script.
Trevorrow has also co-written the third instalment of the franchise, so it’s only fitting he should be the one to bring this trilogy home.
Don’t be surprised if Arcadia gets a new name before its release. For now, the title makes some sense, as it was also the name of the boat that transported the dinosaurs off Isla Nublar in Fallen Kingdom. But previous films in the franchise have also used working titles to conceal their productions: Jurassic World was briefly titled Ebb Tide, and Fallen Kingdom was originally called Ancient Futures.
Jurassic World 3 is slated to hit theatres on June 11, 2021.
