'Jurassic Park 4' is currently being cast, and producers have contacted Laura Dern to tell her that Ellie Satler will play a big role in the film. Dern originated the character in the first 'Jurassic Park', but wasn't cast in the second feature, and played a very minor part in number 3.

Word is that Sam Neill, who was in all three previous films, will not return for a fourth outing as Dr. Alan Grant, paleontologist.

JP4 is set to begin filming this year and, Dern says it will probably be realeased sometime in 2008.
