Here’s a turn up for the books. We know Jurassic Park 4 has been in development forever and it was always suggested by the man himself that Steven Spielberg would direct since he’d done two of the previous three outings. Well, Collider have found out that isn’t going to be happening as they spoke with the world famous Director about his new movie War Horse.

This is the quote that summed it all up:

“I don’t want to talk about Jurassic Park 4 yet – it’s too early – but I can tell you that I’m not directing it. I’m producing it though.”

After requestion a bit more infomatrion about whether the movie would be a reboot or a sequel, the response back was:

“I can’t say. I will when the time is right, but for now I can’t talk about it.”

He continued to talk about his new movie, Robopocalypse and fill us in on some updates to the Tintin sequel which will be handed solely to Peter Jackson to direct:

“I’m not going to say which stories have been chosen for Peter Jackson’s sequel because Peter and I agreed that we weren’t going to let that information out yet,” he said. “The script is now being written. It’s more than one book, but it’s not three books, so that means it’s two books. It’s two and a half books that we’re combining with ‘The Secret of the Unicorn.’ And Peter will start working on the film this year. When he’s done shooting ‘The Hobbit,’ he’ll begin his performance capture work with the actors later in 2012, which I’m very excited about. And of course, I’m hoping I’ll be able to direct the third one. I’d love to do the third one because I had so much fun on the first one.”

Good work Collider on finding out this info! Shame that he wont be returning to Direct Jurassic Park 4 though as I was rather looking forward to it having his touch but glad he’ll be producing. I guess now we have to wait to see who is revealed to direct.
