It seems life has found a way for Jeff Goldblum to appear in yet another "Jurassic Park" title, this time around he will be a part of the game called "Jurassic World Evolution."

The hilariously eccentric Goldblum will reprise his hilariously eccentric role as Mathematician and Chaos Theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm in the upcoming game. As such, Goldblum will again be providing his scientific insight as Dr. Malcolm on why genetically modified dinosaurs are a bad idea with his signature sass and wisecracks. Hopefully, this time he does not get injured.

His exact role in the game is still unclear though, but Dr. Malcolm was brought it as an expert in probability and as a consultant for the first Jurassic Park in the first movie, based on Michael Crichton's horror and suspense novel of the same name. Goldblum will also reportedly with the players throughout the entire game, which is good news for those who just can't get enough of the 65-year-old actor.

Some hints point to Goldblum as an advisor (again) to players, hence why he will accompany their character for the near entirety of the game. Goldblum as Dr. Malcolm will also probably assist players in making tactical and moral choices as they run their own Jurassic Park/World business and theme park.

It is also worth noting that "Jurassic World Evolution" will also be a management simulation game and not an adventure/action game. As such, it will put players in a managerial role in building, maintaining and overseeing the Jurassic World theme park, complete with business hazards such as dinosaur breakouts, dwindling budget, dangerous research and other problems seen throughout the movies.

Players will be able to take control of Isla Nublar and there they will be given free rein to breed their own genetically engineered dinosaurs with plenty of options on how to run the theme park business. This is all the while Goldblum walks them through in the game with an occasional hopeful or unhopeful flirting with players. "Jurassic World Evolution" is set to be released in June.
