Digging deeper to validate the authenticity of this report, we discovered that Universal Pictures owns a &#8216;Private Limited Company&#8217; in London by the same name (Est. January 25th, 2016).</p>\n<p>For those wondering, this does not mean the next movie will be called &#8216;Jurassic World Ancient Futures&#8217;. In fact, it&#8217;s highly unlikely. Working titles are often picked before the films final title even exists, and serve as a temporary production company to operate from. In the case of Jurassic World, its working title was &#8220;Ebb Tide&#8221; &#8211; another high profile example would be &#8216;The Dark Knight Rises&#8217; with a working title of &#8220;Magnus Rex&#8221;.</p>\n<p>While this may not tell us much about the movies actual title or plot, we do know production is gearing up. While we are not subscribed to Production Weekly, some details about potential job openings are included in the latest issue. Further, this news helps validate that London will be used as a locale (likely Pinewood Studios).

It&#8217;s no secret that Hasbro&#8217;s Jurassic World offerings were underwhelming, and a severe step down in quality compared to their past lineups. However, Hasbro has been the license holder since the original Jurassic Park (if you count them as Kenner due to their acquisition of the brand). I personally cannot think of another toy company out there capable of easily producing a toy line worthy of Jurassic Park&#8217;s action figure legacy.</p>\n<p>While toy manufactures like NECA could do good things with the Jurassic brand for collectors, they would not create a line nearly as expansive as the past. This means removable dino-damage, vehicles, capture gear, and large, affordable electronic Tyrannosaurus Rex items are less certain going forward. Today&#8217;s news will mark a fairly large tonal shift for Jurassic toys, and it is likely the future lines will not be nearly as mainstream.</p>\n<p>While Hasbro retains the Jurassic license up until the end of 2017, it is unclear if they will proceed with their plans of releasing toys. It is possible that both the 2016 &#8216;Dino Hybrids&#8217; and 2017 &#8216;Raptor Squad&#8217; line will see cancellations.</p>\n<p><strong>Update: <a href=\"http://jurassicoutpost.com/mattel-will-take-jurassic-world-license-hasbro-late-2017/\">Mattel is now in charge of the &#8216;Jurassic World&#8217; license.

It is used to unify the online community with an official focal point, which can then be shared and networked beyond through hundreds of thousands of followers. As such, keeping a growing brand like Jurassic Park and World &#8211; which has numerous unofficial fan sites and social media accounts &#8211; unified for marketing synergy only makes sense. While Jurassic World did change its name, effecting marketing and branding, it is still the fourth film in Jurassic Park series.</p>\n<p>Up until today, the social media accounts reflected that: on Twitter the account handle was <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jurassicpark\">@JurassicPark</a> but the &#8216;account name&#8217; and imagery was for Jurassic World. It reflected that the franchise was one, and helped bring fans of classic to the new, and fans of the new to the classic. However, now Universal Pictures has made the inexplicable decision to split the handles to <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jurassicpark\">@JurassicPark</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jurassicworld\">@JurassicWorld</a>, splintering their following.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://jurassicoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/JurassicParkWorldTwitter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1386\" src=\"http://jurassicoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/JurassicParkWorldTwitter.jpg\" alt=\"JurassicParkWorldTwitter\" width=\"684\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https://controlroom.jurassicoutpost.com/app/uploads/2016/07/JurassicParkWorldTwitter.jpg 684w, https://controlroom.jurassicoutpost.com/app/uploads/2016/07/JurassicParkWorldTwitter-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" /></a></p>\n<p>Ultimately, this move unnecessarily confuses and dilutes the brand by splitting its potential followers in two. What happens if those following <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jurassicpark\">@JurassicPark</a> still want news for the next film, but don&#8217;t realize the other account exists? Or perhaps an inverse scenario, where fans of the newest film would be interested in news about happenings revolving around the classic trilogy &#8211; however, they aren&#8217;t following the other account as its existence isn&#8217;t necessitated by common sense nor current marketing trends. And if they both share the same news, why split the accounts in the first place?</p>\n<p>Jurassic World was the 4th highest grossing film of all time in the box office, <a href=\"http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=jurassicpark4.htm\">making over $1.6 billion dollars worldwide</a>. However, it only has 178,000 followers on Twitter &#8211; as opposed to <a href=\"https://twitter.com/starwars\">Star Wars with 2.3million followers</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/Marvel\">Marvel with over 4 million</a>. The Jurassic brands online presence does not nearly match its box office strength or recognition, and splitting the accounts will not help with its true potential in growth. Of course, to grow the social media accounts would require activity which also felt organic and genuine in tone; unmanufactured. As it stands now, they are neither.</p>\n<p>It can be frustrating to be a fan of the Jurassic franchise. While as fans we are not owed anything (an inflated sense of entitlement can often lead to unwarranted toxicity between the studio and fandom), it&#8217;s easy to see the potential the brand has to excel, yet there is a palpable lack of enthusiasm &#8211; or perhaps confidence &#8211; from the studio to hit those marks. Some of the most frequent non-toy and non-videogame questions we receive from other fans are &#8216;Will there be a Jurassic World artbook?&#8217;, &#8216;Where are the Jurassic Park and World comics&#8217; and &#8216;Will there be new movie canon tie-in novels?&#8217;. The opportunity to expand the fiction (and brand strength by association) into new territory is ripe, and utilizing the momentum Jurassic World presented is essential. Yet it&#8217;s radio silence, and minimal visible output abroad.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://jurassicoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/JPtwitterLogo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1393\" src=\"http://jurassicoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/JPtwitterLogo.png\" alt=\"JPtwitterLogo\" width=\"1200\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https://controlroom.jurassicoutpost.com/app/uploads/2016/07/JPtwitterLogo.png 1200w, https://controlroom.jurassicoutpost.com/app/uploads/2016/07/JPtwitterLogo-300x128.png 300w, https://controlroom.jurassicoutpost.com/app/uploads/2016/07/JPtwitterLogo-768x328.png 768w, https://controlroom.jurassicoutpost.com/app/uploads/2016/07/JPtwitterLogo-1024x437.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" /></a></p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s not all doom and gloom. Yes, the rant is over for the time being &#8211; lets talk the future, and what we can infer from the splitting of the accounts. First and foremost, &#8216;Jurassic Park&#8217; is not dead. By giving <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jurassicpark\">@JurassicPark</a> its own social media account it&#8217;s clear the classic trilogy will continue to see new merch and media going into the future &#8211; alongside the current Jurassic World film merch and media. With a slick new logo similiar to the current DVD offerings, which is quite different from the nostalgic original, it&#8217;s clear they&#8217;re utilizing brand imagery that is meant to operate with today&#8217;s trends.</p>\n<p>As for Jurassic World: those who didn&#8217;t believe the title and branding were here to stay should reconsider. When the accounts split, one had to start anew while another would keep the existing followers. The handle <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jurassicworld\">@JurassicWorld</a> was given the existing 178k followers, meaning it will be the brand and marketing powerhouse moving forward, <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jurassicpark\">@JurassicPark</a> the niche. So yes, while we do not yet know the name of the fifth Jurassic movie, it will certainly include &#8216;Jurassic World&#8217; as opposed to &#8216;Park&#8217; or something entirely new.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, it&#8217;s exciting to know that as we get closer to the release of the Jurassic World sequel, classic Jurassic Park will remain relevant. We&#8217;ve heard buzz that a toy line inspired by the classic Jurassic films could be targeting 2017 alongside &#8216;Raptor Squad&#8217;, and this seems to give it further legitimacy. While the splitting of the brands seems to be a convoluted misstep, it&#8217;s nice to see the Jurassic Park logo on social media once again.</p>\n<p>As always, sound off in the comments below and stay tuned for the latest news!</p>\n","excerpt":"<p>Marketing can be a weird thing.
