Holy shit you guys, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum are set to reprise their iconic roles in Jurassic World 3.

I, uh, I haven’t properly watched the newer films of the series so I can’t quite make any judgements here but this is great news regardless.
The original three will join Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, according to Deadline. Jurassic World re-tweeted the welcome news on Twitter, before making its own official announcement.
“They’re back,” the team captioned a picture of the holy trinity. “Welcome to Jurassic World Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm.”
Excuse their typo, the crew’s probably just very excited.

As Malcolm once said: “You crazy son of a bitches, you did it.”
The news was announced by director Colin Trevorrow during a screening of Jurassic World at the ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood.
And in some more good news, each star will reportedly have a “sizeable” role in the movie, instead of brief cameos.
Details are thin, but Trevorrow is directing again and will co-write the script with Emily Carmichael. Trevorrow directed the first Jurassic World. He also helmed that indie flick Safety Not Guaranteed and The Book of Henry. Carmichael has Pacific Rim: Uprising on her CV.
Trevorrow actually just released a short film, which takes place after the events of the last Jurassic World film. It’s called Battle at Big Rock and the story follows a family of four whose encounter with dinosaurs at the Big Rock National Park becomes a batshit fight for survival.
The short film stars André Holland, Natalie Martinez, Melody Hurd, and Pierson Salvador.
