‘Jurassic Park: Dominion’ Temporarily Stops Production Due To Positive COVID-19 Cases

Universal’s upcoming blockbuster Jurassic World: Dominion has been hit with delays due to the pandemic. It will now release on June 10, 2022.

Production of the film started in late February 2020, but it had to stop on March 13 due to the pandemic. It started back up again in July, and on October 7 it has stopped again due to multiple positive COVID cases on set.

Director Colin Trevorrow personally gave an update on Twitter on what was going on with the film’s production, with Universal providing more detail.

Woke up to the news we had a few positive Coronavirus tests on Jurassic World: Dominion. All tested negative shortly after, but due to our safety protocols we’re going to pause for two weeks. Back soon. pic.twitter.com/DxuqX9UdgX

Trevorrow’s quote from Twitter

This third Jurassic World film promises to be the biggest one yet, with the return of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum.

For the past three months, I’ve worked with an extraordinary cast and crew on a film we can’t wait to share with the world. Even though we'll have to wait a bit longer, it will all be worth it. Let’s stay healthy and take care of each other until then. pic.twitter.com/vnGzhHs4nR

The release of the new poster got fans excited, with its call back to the original and the big list of names that unites the old and new cast.

Not much is known about the plot or how the original characters come into play, but it’ll be interesting to see how everything plays out, especially after Fallen Kingdom’s ending
