After Colin Trevorrow is done in Jurassic World: Dominion, he’ll set sail for Atlantis.
Deadline reports Trevorrow will direct Atlantis for Universal, a new original thriller based on the lost undersea kingdom that was most recently-seen in Aquaman. But this isn’t a superhero movie or like any other version of the classic Atlantis stories. For one thing, this version of Atlantis will be on a lost continent , a multicultural civilization in the Indian Ocean with advanced technology. You can see the Wakanda comparisons already, can’t you?
The film will be directed by Trevorrow based on an idea he cooked up with Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies). Writing the script is Dante Harper, whose script for All You Need is Kill eventually became Edge of Tomorrow. He also wrote Alien: Covenant.
Trevorrow has been developing this project for years, doing research with his team and fleshing out the world, so this is a huge undertaking that a lot will be expected from. But first, he’ll resume production next month on Jurassic World: Dominion, which is due in theaters on June 11th 2021.
