For years, reports on the making of the fourth film of the "Jurassic Park" franchise have come in and out. Back in 2007, rumors on the casting surfaced, but quickly toned down by the film's producer, Steven Spielberg. Since then, updated reports on the development of "Jurassic Park IV" are scarce sparking speculation that the movie may not be made afterall. However, latest report suggested otherwise.

Recently, one of "Jurassic Park" original cast, Laura Dern, assured fans that the fourth installment of the dinosaur movie will not be put aside. To TV Guide Magazine, the 41-year-old actress insisted that though it may take some time, the movie will be made and her character will be back. "It's a while away but my understanding is it's happening and my character is very involved," so claimed the co-star of Sean Penn in "I Am Sam". "I know [director] Steven Spielberg is looking forward to [getting it together] over the next year."

Giving response to the words stating casting process has begun on "Jurassic Park IV", a personal representative to Steven Spielberg at Amblin Entertainment has posted a statement on SpielbergFilms.com denying such reports despite the recent publications over stars from the previous installments of the franchise like Sam Neill and Laura Dern concerning the project.

While assuring the story and screenplay to be still in development, the person insisted that the property is still not ready to move forward toward production and no casting is taking place for this time being. Amblin has been known to be the studio co-producing the "Jurassic Park" series, so the statement from its reps should end the confusion surrounding who's in and who's out of the flick, which has already got William Monahan and John Sayles on board to pen the script.
