Colin Trevorrow is making a big difference with the money he’ll make from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The 43-year-old Jurassic World writer-director is donating the profits from his work on the upcoming film to the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice, a British center in Berkshire, United Kingdom, Deadline reported on Tuesday (November 26).

Colin has a story credit on the film alongside co-writer Derek Connolly, so his earnings will continue to come in.

If you didn’t know, he exited as director of the film, and could have kept the money, but decided to do something with it in honor of George Lucas.

“Through his films, George Lucas taught us about our connection to all living things. He taught us to take care of one another, and he set a powerful example himself. The Alexander Devine Hospice helps families in the most challenging of times. I can’t think of a more fitting way to honor George’s legacy,” he said in a statement.

“The force is strong with us. We are blown away by this incredibly generous gesture and we are deeply thankful to Colin for thinking of us. This extraordinary donation, the equivalent of paying for a nurse for a year, will really help us to continue to do this and importantly reach out to even more families that need us. We know that there are at least 1,200 children across Berkshire and the surrounding counties that need our help. Our care is free of charge and we are reliant on donations and fundraising to run our vital service. We cannot thank Colin Trevorrow and his family enough for their amazing support and generosity,” said hospice co-founder Fiona Devine.

During the screening, it was confirmed that Laura, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill would all be reuniting for the upcoming movie Jurassic World 3!

“Hey everyone, I guess you’ve heard! I will be coming back to join everybody for Jurassic World 3 and I will see you in 2021,” Laura said in a video on the movie’s Twitter account.

Jurassic World 3 opens June 11, 2021.

The stars of the classic movie Jurassic Park – Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill – are reuniting for the upcoming movie Jurassic World 3!

Laura broke the news while appearing at a fan screening of Battle at Big Rock, the eight-minute short film set in the Jurassic universe, according to Deadline.

Colin Trevorrow, who directed the short film and the first Jurassic World movie, will return to direct the upcoming third installment.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ended with dinosaurs leaving the island and entering civilization, so it’s likely that the third movie will pick up where that film left off. Jeff made a cameo appearance in that film.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be back for the movie as well!

For the third installment, Colin will be returning once again as a director for the franchise.

He is working on the script with Emily Carmichael, who wrote for Pacific Rim: Uprising according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jurassic World 3 is slated to hit theaters on June 11, 2021.

Colin Trevorrow has officially stepped down as the director of the upcoming movie Star Wars: Episode IX.

The 40-year-old director broke out with his indie hit Safety Not Guaranteed in 2012 and then directed the monster hit Jurassic World in 2015.

Colin‘s most recent movie was this summer’s The Book of Henry, a passion project of his that was not well received by critics.

“Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have mutually chosen to part ways on Star Wars: Episode IX,” the producers of the film announced on StarWars.com. “Colin has been a wonderful collaborator throughout the development process but we have all come to the conclusion that our visions for the project differ. We wish Colin the best and will be sharing more information about the film soon.”

The directors of the upcoming Han Solo movie were also replaced, though that shockingly happened in the middle of production.

The reviews for Colin Trevorrow‘s new drama The Book of Henry were very negative and now the director is speaking out about the criticism of the film.

“It’s a little heartbreaking, without getting too personal, and I think it’s just because it came to us as a bit of a shock,” the director said in an interview with Empire magazine‘s podcast. “We screened this movie to so many people, and we’d had reactions from so many people that we felt we knew what we had and we knew how it was affecting the audiences. And that actually hasn’t changed.”

While critics panned the movie, audiences are connecting with it and the film has a 70% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to the 22% rotten score from critics.

“It affects audiences in the same way that we thought it would. We did not anticipate that level of vitriolic dislike for the film. And in the end, do I want to be somebody who can please both audiences and critics? Absolutely. So is that hugely disappointing? It is,” Colin added.

Colin directed the massive hit movie Jurassic World and his next movie is Star Wars: Episode IX, which has not yet started filming.

“I’m not going to say this is some kind of movie of the future. It’s not that. But I do believe in what I did, and I hope as people see it some of that will become evident,” he added about The Book of Henry.

Book of Henry star Naomi Watts couldn’t make it to the opening night premiere of the film, but she made sure to send her love and support to her castmates!

The 48-year-old actress is currently in Denmark filming her other upcoming movie Ophelia, in which she plays Gertrude/Mechtild.

Her Book of Henry co-stars – Maddie Ziegler, Jaeden Lieberher, and Jacob Tremblay – stepped out for the premiere during the 2017 Los Angeles Film Festival at Arclight Cinemas Culver City on Wednesday (June 14) in Culver City, Calif.

Also in attendance from the film were Bobby Moynihan, Dean Norris, and director Colin Trevorrow. Stevie Nicks, Mark Hamill, Madelyn Deutch, her mom Lea Thompson, and Maddie‘s sister Mackenzie Ziegler also showed up to offer their support.

“We miss you too @naomiwatts !!!” Maddie shared on Instagram.

Watch Naomi‘s creative video below, and don’t miss Book of Henry when it hits theaters this Friday (June 16)! (Watch the trailer here.)
