David Leitch is reportedly on board to direct a new movie – and potentially a new trilogy of films – in theJurassic Worldfranchise. The co-director of 2014’sJohn Wick, and director of 2017’sAtomic Blonde, 2018’sDeadpool 2, 2019’sFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, 2022’sBullet Train, and the upcomingThe Fall Guylater this year, will oversee a project in a franchise many people believe should be left alone.
The news of his recruitmenthas divided film fans. Not only do they believe there have been enoughJurassic Worldmovies, but they’re also not sure aboutDavid Leitch’ssuitability to direct a film in the franchise.
However, those fears should be allayed, as Leitch’s directing style lends itself purposely to the dinosaur-filled action of theJurassic Worldfranchise. Here are five excellent attributes he’ll bring toJurassic World 4.
Immersive Filming
David Leitch’s directorial style is exceptionally immersive. Think ofBullet Trainwhen the core characters were fighting inside the eponymous vehicle – it felt enclosed for those watching and almost like being there with them. If Leitch can bring that to the fantastical universe ofJurassic World, it’ll be terrific. It’ll work particularly well if there’s a park with enclosures, but film fans should also trust that he can bring this characteristic to the open world in which dinosaurs now roam free.
Ridiculously Awesome Over-the-Top Action
TheJurassic ParkandJurassic Worldmovies have all been action-packed, soJurassic World 4will need something unique and spectacular to make a splash. David Leitch directedFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, so he has experience overseeing the crazy, iconic, physics-defying action of theFast & Furiousfranchise. Leitch’sJurassic World 4could feature some action scenes that top everything seen before in the franchise, likeJurassic Park’sT-Rex chase orJurassic World’sIndominus Rex rampages.
Fast-Paced and Hyper-Kinetic
The main thing fans want of aJurassic Worldmovie – or any movie for that matter – is that it’s not dull. David Leitch’s focus on fast-paced, frenetic, hyper-kinetic action will ensure that the core aim of the film is to entertain through action scenes of that description. If he utilizes the style he andChad Stahelskiimplemented inJohn Wick, people watchingJurassic World 4will barely have time to breathe between the exciting action set pieces. The idea of a movie with action choreographed like aJohn Wickfilm but with added dinosaurs is pretty intriguing.
Humor In Dark Situations
Deadpool 2proved David Leitch can direct a movie that finds humor in dark situations. When Wade Wilson’s cancer symptoms returned when he was forced to wear a power-inhibiting collar, Leitch’s film still made light of it. It doesn’t get much darker than cancer, so it’s guaranteed he’ll find humor inJurassic World 4, even in terrifying dinosaur-filled situations. TheJurassic ParkandJurassic Worldmovies all have funny moments – even amidst the inevitable horror – and Leitch will ensure this one does so better than ever before.
Demanding Vibrant and Exuberant Acting Performances
David Leitch demands vibrant and exuberant acting performances from his cast members, evident from how the ensembles perform inDeadpool 2,Hobbs & Shaw, andBullet Train. EveryJurassic ParkandJurassic Worldmovie has characters with prominent personalities.Jeff Goldblum’sIan Malcolm,Vince Vaughn’sNick Van Owen, andChris Pratt’sOwen Brady are just some examples. Leitch’s direction will ensure more eccentric, attention-grabbing performances inJurassic World 4, both from existing characters and those the film introduces to fans.
