Talk back in July had Steven Spielberg potentially taking over the reigns over the fourth "Jurassic Park" film, however the man himself at the time told SF Magazine that "Joe is my go-to 'Jurassic' guy now...So I'm a huge fan of Joe's, and he's the right guy to do the fourth one".

Then, Sky News apparently reported that Spielberg is eager to get it moving and may actually consent to direct the fourth installment himself if Johnston can't or won't do it. The film is slated for a 2008 release at present.

Now, Spielberg Films says the rumour is bullsh*t, what started the talk is that Joe Johnston has been offered (but has yet to accept) the helming job on a third "Mummy" film. Spielberg is unlikely to work on the film anyhow considering his slate already includes "Indiana Jones IV," the "Lincoln" biopic and "Interstellar".
