Gareth Edwards "dropped everything" to direct the film, stating before production, "I was about to take a break and I started writing my next idea for a film and this is the only movie that would make me drop everything like a stone and dive right in. I love Jurassic Park (1993)...so this opportunity is like a dream to me. And to work with Frank Marshall and Universal and David Koepp, who's writing the script, I think they're all legends. So I'm just very excited."
David Leitch was in talks to direct the film, but eventually turned it down because of creative differences with Universal.
Glen Powell turned down a role, as he didn't feel he could add anything to the film, but went on to praise the script and express his love for the franchise.
Gareth Edwards first movie shot on 35mm Kodak film stock and the sixth Jurassic Park / Jurassic World film shot on celluloid.
