The new film will be a sequel and not a reboot according to director Colin Trevorrow. The director suggested that the film, which is now titled Jurassic World, will be set 22 years in the future. The details came to light when a fan asked the filmmaker to confirm rumors about the film being a reboot.

The Jurassic Park films are based on Michael Crichton's series of novels about pre-historic beasts being revived by revolutionary gene technology. Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley are co-producing the film alongside Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two installments in the franchise.

The film will hit theaters on June 12, 2015.
