Jurassic Park Writer David Koepp Penning New Westworld Movie Script

Westworld might be more dead than most HBO shows — considering that it’s no longer available for streaming — but Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t given up on the idea, it appears. Deadline reports that David Koepp , one of Hollywood’s most reliable screenwriters, is currently developing a new feature take on the classic tale of a Western-themed Disneyland where the robots rebel.

Koepp is uniquely qualified to tackle this adaptation as the original screenwriter of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park , which like Westworld originated from the mind of author and filmmaker Michael Crichton. Koepp also wrote The Lost World: Jurassic Park as well as the most recent movie in the series, Jurassic World Rebirth — which ended up being the best Jurassic movie since the first one . Details on the new Westworld are currently under wraps, though per Deadline “a major filmmaker” is circling the project.
