J.A. Bayona Directing World War Z 2 Or Jurassic World 2?

The sequel to the 2013 film World War Z is being planned and news has surfaced about who might direct the film. The Hollywood Reported stated in a recent article that Dennis Kelly will be writing the latest draft for the film. The outlet also added that Universal Pictures spoke to director J.A. Bayona to direct the sequel for Jurassic World.

The articles suggests that Paramount had to make a move in the forward direction with the film to keep the director attached to the project. It reads, “J.A. Bayona is squarely on board to direct, though rumors surfaced recently that his involvement was on thin ice after being eyed to direct the Jurassic World follow-up. Sources say there was little Bayona could do given that he has a holding deal for World War Z 2, but the Jurassic World 2 overtures helped light a flame under Paramount to keep Bayona happy and get a new script in motion with the fanboy-friendly writer”.

World War Z had Brad Pitt in the leading role. The movie was directed by Marc Forster and was based on the novel by Max Brooks. The sequel for the film will bring back Brad and will hit theatres on June 9, 2017. J.A. Bayona is known for his films The Orphanage and The Impossible.
