It's been a few months since we heard anything about Universal's Jurassic Park IV, but new story details have just surfaced courtesy of Dark Horizons. The site received a message from someone who claimed to have recently visited Spielberg's offices. They scoop that the fourth film takes place 12 years after the first movie. Dr. Hammond's dinos have become urban myth – most people don't believe that they really existed.

The drama begins when "previously unidentified lizard-like animals" show up in parts of Costa Rica, terrorizing the locals. A team of experts is dispatched to an island off the coast. There they discover that the dinosaurs are breeding at a remarkably fast rate, posing a threat to the nearby continent. There is, reportedly, much more to the story but the source wasn't able to uncover it.

According the tip, Spielberg is "delighted" with the ideas for the new film, and wants to sign Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum to star. The scooper seems to think that JPIV will be a more of an "intelligent thriller in the vein of the original."

Last we heard, author/screenwriter William Monahan (Fox's Tripoli) was working out a deal to pen the film's screenplay. Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy are producing.
