Jurassic World Rebirth Wraps Filming Less Than a Year Before Its Release Date

When the fourth installment in the Jurassic World film series was first announced by Universal Pictures, everyone knew it would be an absolute sprint to get it completed. New of the movie broke at the start of this year, and it was given a 2025 release date without having a director or stars attached. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story filmmaker Gareth Edwards was hired to direct back in February, followed by an entire casting process and a production start this summer. Now, less than a year until its July 2, 2025 release date, Jurassic World Rebirth is finished filming.

Producer Frank Marshall took to Instagram this weekend to confirm that production had wrapped on Jurassic World Rebirth, which begins the long process of post-production, where all of the complicated special effects will be added to the film. Of course, this team will have their work cut out for them, as the Jurassic World Rebirth release date is just over nine months away. That’s a lot of dinosaur work to pull off in a fairly short amount of time, but it’s not exactly an impossible task.

Edwards is known for timely and cost-effective shoots, so he was the right person to come in and complete a quick turnaround like this for Universal and the Jurassic World franchise. In addition to Rogue One, the director also has 2014’s Godzilla and last year’s The Creator under his belt.
