Wong said he "would be happy to return" as Dr. Henry Wu, while Howard announced that filming would begin in 2017 . Howard also said she would be interested in seeing characters from earlier Jurassic Park films return for the fifth film, saying, "I could see versions of the film where a lot of the characters come back ." By October 2015, director J.A. Bayona was being considered to direct the film . He chose instead to direct the World War Z sequel, a project for which he had already signed on . In January 2016, it was reported that Bayona could still be a candidate to direct the film after he dropped out of the World War Z sequel due to other commitments . </P> <P> In March 2016, London was being scouted as a possible filming location and setting for the film; it was subsequently announced that filming would take place at a UK studio .

On April 18, 2016, Bayona was announced as the film's director, with Belén Atienza and Patrick Crowley joining Marshall as producers . Spielberg, Marshall, and Kathleen Kennedy had been impressed by his 2012 film, The Impossible, and initially considered having him direct Jurassic World . He declined as he felt there was not enough time for production . Trevorrow wanted Bayona to direct the film after seeing his 2007 horror film, The Orphanage . Before he was hired, Bayona had met with Trevorrow and became enthused with the project after being shown the script's second half, which would play out like a haunted house film . After Bayona was hired, Trevorrow said of the film, "We're moving it into new territory . J.A. Bayona is an incredible director and I know he'll push the boundaries of what a' Jurassic' movie is . I think it's important that we take risks . A franchise must evolve or perish ." Trevorrow and Bayona worked closely throughout the film's production . In June 2016, actor Sam Neill was asked if he would return to the series as Dr. Alan Grant and responded, "You never say never, but I think it's moved on .

Marshall thought that Cabo San Lucas would be ideal, but these locations ultimately did not work for the film's story . Although the film was shot partly in England, Spielberg felt the country was too far from the fictional Isla Nublar to be used as the in - film setting for the second half . He and the producers did not want the film to spend too much time on a boat . Crowley stated, "Rather than making it a movie about traveling on a boat, which is not very exciting, you needed to get to the place ." </P>
