Jurassic Park 4

Jurassic Park 4'Jurassic Park 4' -- if it is made -- would be the fourth installment of the 'Jurassic Park' film series, directed by Steven Spielberg. As of June 2011, Spielberg is said to be in the process of brainstorming ideas for the fourth film.

Steven Spielberg (Getty Images) Jurassic Park and Steven Spielberg fans rejoice! There's still hope for a fourth film in the dinosaur franchise, according to the Hollywood Reporter anyway.

While this is not the first time it's been reported that Spielberg was working on Jurassic Park 4, the latest story sounds rather promising. At the moment, the director is getting set for the fall launch of his new show, Terra Nova, which also happens to be all about dinos. With prehistoric animals on his mind, it appears that Spielberg is ready to turn J4 into a reality.

But don't get too excited. Neither Spieberg, nor Universal -- which released the trilogy -- have made any serious move to find or write a script. Rather, the gray haired director has been "exploring" ideas for a story with screenwriter Mark Protosevich.

From a pure money making perspective, it would be silly not to release a fourth film. The three prior films have collectively grossed well over a billion dollars. And in an age of comic book movies, it would be freshing and fun to see some dinosaur stomping awesomeness. No?

We'll keep you updated when we find out more about Jurassic Park 4. But in the meantime, here's some more pictures of Steven Spielberg to hold you over.
