Colin Trevorrow may be heading in a new direction with the sequel to "Jurassic World" after the enormous box office the reboot had.

According to a recent interview Trevorrow had with Wired, the director hinted that the sequel would spread beyond the island setting that has come to be expected from the films.

The director stated that the sequel will not be "just a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island."

He added, "There are applications for this science that reach far beyond entertainment. When you look back at nuclear power and how that started, the first instinct was to weaponize it and later on we found it could be used for energy."

He also noted that he believes that the world of Jurassic Park should be explored beyond the confines of a park and that there is room for expansion. There is no confirmation on how the events of the sequel will take place but if the world is expanded into a city landscape, the sequel could end up being closer to a "King Kong" and a "Godzilla" movie.

"Jurassic World" opened in June to rave reviews and became the highest grossing films of the year. The film opened to a record breaking $208 million and hass not made over $631 million domestically. "Jurassic World" has also made $1.5 billion worldwide and is expected to end its run close to $1.6 billion mark. The film is now the third highest grossing film of all time and could potentially surpass "Titanic "domestically.

"Jurassic World" is the fourth installment of the popular franchise "Jurassic Park" which was started by Steven Spielberg back in 1993. The film was proceeded by two installments, one in 1997 and the other in 2001. All three were box office hits but the third installment was critically disliked.

"Jurassic World 2" is scheduled for a 2018 release with production set to start next year.
