Director Gareth Edwards explains how making a ‚Jurassic Park‘ blockbuster in just over a year helped the film.
Writing, development, pre-production, casting, filming, editing, visual effects, scoring, sound, and more. The process of making a movie, especially a big, expensive movie, is a long one. According to director Gareth Edwards, who has made his share of big movies like Rogue One and Godzilla, normally it would take two and a half years from when he, the director, would be hired until the film is released in theaters. But, when it comes to Jurassic World Rebirth, the process was anything but normal.
Edwards was hired onto the film in February 2024, and now, in July 2025, the film is set for release. It’s an insane, superhuman timeline for a film of this size, one that Edwards both tried to fight against but ultimately had to embrace. “I knew basically the July 4th weekend is what they were gunning for,” Edwards told io9 over video chat.
