Rebooting an old film done right: It seems that "Jurassic World" has done justice to the original "Jurassic Park" franchise --- so much so that the soaring box office sales warranted a sequel.

According to CBS News, "Jurassic World 2" is set to be released on June 22, 2018.

Considering it took 14 years between the third and fourth "Jurassic" movie, you really can't complain.

Now said to be the third top-grossing film of all time (besting "The Avengers) with $1.522 billion at the global box office, Universal Studios is ready to take advantage of the title by giving it another go.

Actors Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be reprising their roles in the film, which will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg and produced by Frank Marshall.

Director Colin Trevorrow will not be helming the sequel; however ,he is going to be an executive producer and is also getting ready to co-write the screenplay with Derek Connolly.

The official title for the sequel and the name of its next helmsman have yet to be announced.

Prior to the "Jurassic World"release, Pratt joked to Entertainment Weekly about the franchise.

"They have me for, I think, 38 movies or something."

"Jurassic World", which is co-produced by Legendary Pictures, made more than the film was expected to achieve at the box office, and has cinched this year's success for Universal Studios.

According to BBC, the production company is the fastest to hit $2 billion at the box office this year, offering one successful film after another, from February's erotic "50 Shades of Grey," to April's action-packed "Furious 7", and May's musical film"Pitch Perfect 2".

While the confirmation is recent, Universal has actually planned of a sequel over a year ago. Trevorrow spoke with Empire, saying, "We definitely talked about [sequels] a lot... We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic, and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story."

In other "Jurassic World" news, Slash Film reported that Triumph Motorcyccles is auctioning off Owen Grady's bike from the film on E-bay. The proeeds will be going to The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, an annual event that raises money for prostate cancer research.

Of the three motorcycles made for the film (one is with Pratt, the other at Triumph's headquarters), one could be yours, if you have enough money to outbid dozens (even hundreds or thousands) of fans in the world.
