Jake Johnson confirms the long-anticipated news that he will be joining former collaborator Colin Trevorrow for Jurassic World.
In not necessarily the most surprising news, we still now have confirmation that New Girl’s Jake Johnson will be joining the cast of Jurassic World when the dinosaurs return to multiplexes again in 2015.
Johnson confirmed the non-rumor himself while sitting down with Huffington Post earlier today in promotion for his hit Fox sitcom.
When asked about whether he got involved with the fourth Jurassic Park film because it’s being directed by previous collaborator Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed), Johnson said, “Absolutely. Now, I'm also a huge fan of Jurassic Park. When I was growing up, and Jurassic Park came out, I freaked out like every other kid. I was born in '78, so I was, like, 12. If it wasn't Colin and someone said they wanted me in Jurassic Park, I would jump on it. The fact that it's Colin, written by Derek Connolly [who wrote Safety Not Guaranteed] and both those guys are personal friends, I'd go through a wall.”
Jurassic World is the fourth trip to Isla Nublar (or Isla Sorna) and its legendary inhabitants, just off the coast of Costa Rica. The film also includes the cast of Chris Pratt, Idris Elba, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jake Johnson, and Irrfan Khan. The film is set to raise its gates on June 12, 2015.
