Although Spielberg didn't direct the new Jurassic film, he still worked closely with the screenwriter. After the 1993 original, the duo reunited for the 1997 sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, 2005's War of the Worlds, and 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They have since reunited for another film.

Director Gareth Edwards, a student of ‘Jurassic Park,’ didn’t try to put his own spin on the franchise, but instead to emulate his hero.
