A new Jurassic World movie is in the works, but it’s not just any ol' sequel.

THR reports that the new movie is set to launch a “new Jurassic era” with an “all-new storyline.” This means Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will likely not be involved, as well as original Jurassic Park stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum.

Jurassic Park, which has amassed over $1 billion against its initial $63 million budget, follows a group of scientists who visit a theme park of sorts inhabited by dinosaurs that have been recreated using recovered DNA from the Jurassic period. InJurassic World, the theme park is now a big success and has been for many years – until a transgenic dinosaur escapes from its enclosure and tries to eat everyone. The Chris Pratt-led reboot-sequel amassed over $1.6 billion and was followed byJurassic World: Fallen KingdomandJurassic World: Dominion. Dominion was advertised as the last installment in the franchise, with the film’s ending being something of a send-off. Or so we thought.
