Once set for a release this summer, this past fall Universal Pictures pushed Jurassic World to 2015 and a handful of months later, we’re starting to more details on the production. Coming from director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) and a script by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), part of the cast has been confirmed, including Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson. Now word has come in from Chris Pratt himself that he’s set to join the ensemble. Check out his quote below, from Peace River Record Gazette:

For me, Jurassic Park was really kind of my Star Wars. I lined up at the theatre to see it, I saw it opening night, I saw every sequel, I’ve seen it a whole bunch of times… for me that was my big movie, I think I was 13 or 14 when it came out. And so it’s a big deal for me to be any part of that, let alone this part I’m going to be playing. I’m thrilled about it.

There’s no details on the precise plot yet, but we do have an update from the technical side. According to the director himself,  John Schwartzman, the cinematographer behind Armageddon and The Amazing Spider-Man, will shoot the film, in both 35mm and 65mm film. This hints that we’ll see some sections in the IMAX format, but we’ll have to wait for confirmation. Check out his tweet below, for the film kicking off production in Hawaii in April before moving to New Orleans in June.

Jurassic World opens on June 12th, 2015.
