Next ‘Jurassic Park’ May Reopen With Franchise Reboot

Around two months ago, we didn’t even have a director for Jurassic Park 4, so it came with little surprise when Universal recently announced it would not make its June 2014 release date.

Watch: Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, and Julie Delpy Discuss ‘Before Midnight’ with Charlie Rose

Four months out from its Sundance premiere, Before Midnight is right on the cusp of a theatrical release. In building up to that, marketing for this sort of movie — i.e., a low-budget, low-scale, talk-y sort of deal without genuine movie stars in sight — may only find itself after a built-in audience because, in [...]
