Since he was announced as director of Jurassic Park 4, Colin Trevorrow has faced an endless stream of questions from fans of the series. While the vast majority of people ask things like “Who are you?”, there are other, more probing questions, too.

Although, “Who are you?” is by no means a small question. Looked at in the right way, it’s arguably the biggest of all questions – but that’s another article altogether.

In a bid to calm the angry villagers and answer as many people’s questions as possible, Trevorrow appeared on a Jurassic Park podcast. He said: “I saw some of the rumours on the internet and I would have all kinds of red flags going off if I heard they were going to muzzle a T-Rex. So I would say don’t believe everything you read, there are way more insiders on the internet than there are in real life.”

He added: “This is not a paycheck gig for me and it’s not the movie that I’m making so I can make the movies that I really want to make. It’s important to make a movie for the fans but I also have to remember that there’s a lot of people who just couldn’t care less and need me to make a solid case for why the hell there’s a Jurassic Park 4 in the first place, and I want to make a movie for them too.”

It’s still really early on in the production process, but it’s good to hear Trevorrow addressing concerns and talking so enthusiastically about the film.

JP4 was originally set for a summer 2014 release, but was postponed to 2015 to give Trevorrow time to work on the film’s script with producer Steven Spielberg.

He’s only just signed on for The Expendables 3, but Harrison Ford is apparently up for another action sequel – this time a fifth outing for Indiana Jones.

The 71-year-old doesn’t think he’s not too old, saying: “We’ve seen the character develop and grow over a period of time and it’s perfectly appropriate and okay for him to come back again with a great movie around him where he doesn’t necessarily have to kick as much ass.

“To me, what was interesting about the character was that he prevailed, that he had courage, that he had wit, that he had intelligence, that he was frightened and that he still managed to survive. That I can do.”

Six years ago the idea of another Indiana Jones film would have outraged me, but that was in happier times, before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull took the series and smashed into a million pieces and carried on smashing and smashing and smashing until the cool, funny, brilliant original trilogy was little more than the vague notion of the fragment of a memory.

Now...hell, do what you want. No matter what happens in Indy 5, there’s no way it’ll be worse than hiding in a fridge to survive a nuclear blast. And that includes the prospect of Harrison Ford passing the torch to a sassy, streetwise CGI cat, voiced by Shia LeBeouf.

From the moment Batman vs. Superman was announced at Comic-Con, casting rumours have been coming in thick and fast, sometimes appearing, getting shot down, and then being resurrected all in the same day.

One that has proved resilient, is the prospect of Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor, and Cranston (best known for playing Walter White in the brilliant, amazing, wonderful, Breaking Bad), has thrown Heisenberg’s pork pie hat into the ring, saying “give me a call” when asked if he’d be interested in playing the part.

He adds: “I like Lex Luthor. I think he’s misunderstood. He’s a loveable, sweet man.”

If anyone can bring out the humanity in Lex Luthor and make audiences relate to him, it’s Cranston, especially if the film borrows the murky realism used so smartly in the Dark Knight trilogy.
