Not all critics have given “Jurassic World Dominion” their stamp of approval but the star clout is enough to attract cinemagoers.
On the back of Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick”, cinemas are starting to see increased foot traffic as fans return. Of course, it does help that the movies are born from blockbuster hits and promise to continue in the jaw-dropping footsteps of the originals.
The final chapter in the “Jurassic World” trilogy is directed by Colin Trevorrow, who shares the screenplay credit with Emily Carmichael, for a story he developed with Derek Connolly.
And Chris Pratt (Owen Grady), Bryce Dallas Howard (Claire Dearing), Laura Dern (Dr Ellie Sattler), Jeff Goldblum (Dr Ian Malcolm), Sam Neill (Dr Alan Grant), DeWanda Wise (Kayla Watts), BD Wong (Dr Henry Wu), Mamoudou Athie (Ramsay Cole) and Omar Sy (Barry Sembène) form the lead cast.
Expanding on the storyline, Pratt, said: “When this movie starts, you’ll get a quick voiceover exposition filling you in on what has happened over the past four years.
“And as this field of science proliferates and is further studied, you find out that it’s not just the threat of dinosaurs escaping and hurting or eating people that is the main problem, because it’s deeper and on a much bigger scale – talking about the possible extinction of human beings, the collapse of the global food supply and other waves of apocalyptic terror that could sweep the planet.
“These themes are very relevant now, as they relate to corporate greed, ethics in science, and our responsibility to protect all living beings on the planet.
He describes his character as a simple guy trying to raise his daughter, Maisie, with Claire.
Pratt added: “I’ve really enjoyed playing this character. First of all, he’s way cooler than me. And it’s been nice to watch him age and mature over 10 years, diving into the reality of his life. I believe there’ll be a time when I look back and think that I had the time of my life playing Owen.
On landing this career-making role, Athie, who plays the head of communications of Biosyn, said: “It’s funny to me because it’s easily the biggest project I’ve been involved with. It started with a three-hour conversation with Colin Trevorrow over some lobster rolls in Santa Monica, and then I got a phone call a few months later asking me to be a part of the film. It was a really wonderful gesture for Colin to call me and give me the news personally. I couldn’t believe it
