Chris Pratt, You're About To Get A Call About 'Jurassic World'

Chris Pratt's movie career appears to be going from strength-to-strength thanks to landing the lead role in Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy. Discussions are in the very early stages, but the sneaky guys at The Wrap claim Universal are about to offer Pratt a deal to star in Jurassic World - the next movie in the Jurassic Park franchise.

While Guardians of the Galaxy will be wrapped, Pratt would have to navigate the shooting schedule for Jurassic World with his TV series Parks and Recreation, provided it gets renewed by NBC, which is likely.

As we reported last month, Josh Brolin had initially been circling the lead role for Jurassic World though talks failed to materialize.

Should he land the role, Pratt would join Bryce Dallas Howard, Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins in the 3-D sequel, directed by _Safety Not Guarenteed'_s Colin Trevorrow from a script by Derek Connolly.

Jurassic Park director Steven Spielberg is producing the project which Universal hopes to release on June 12, 2015.

Plot details have remained largely under wraps, but website JoBlo leaked some reported ideas earlier this year.

According to a "trusted and reliable source," Jurassic World will be set in present day Isla Nublar, now an actual theme park as originally intended by John Hammond in the original film. Garnering over 10 million visitors per year, the park contains "tamed" dinosaurs - until one breaks out. The source claims that Velociraptors and T-Rex are actually used a means to fighting the rogue dino.

Should he get the gig, Pratt brings with him a decent fan-base having played the loveable goofball Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation before breaking out in Moneyball, with Brad Pitt.

He also starred in The Five-Year Engagement and Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty. Next, he'll be seen opposite Vince Vaughn in The Delivery Man and in Spike Jonze's romantic drama Her.

Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters on August 1, 2014.
