Chris Pratt on Jeff Goldblum’s Jurassic Park return: It’s a ringing endorsement
Goldblum reprises his role of Dr Ian Malcolm in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Chris Pratt has said he sees Jeff Goldblum’s return to the Jurassic Park franchise as a “ringing endorsement” of Jurassic World.
The 2015 film, starring Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, made 1.6 billion US dollars around the world, 15 years after the third Jurassic Park instalment.
Pratt told the Press Association: “It’s impossible not to be conscious of the legacy of this film, we are joining a franchise that is so beloved.
“Also Jeff Goldblum is here in the movie, which is a ringing endorsement of what we have done in the last film and it feels great.
Goldblum said he feels “lucky to have ever gotten a toehold into a group like this”.
He added: “It was a sweet experience, Mr Steven Spielberg directed those first couple and you can’t get better than that, except JA Bayona in this one – what a lovely man and a brilliant artist and great director.”
“We can’t wait for the world to see it’s not exactly what you would expect from a Jurassic World, but it’s everything you would want.”
Howard, who reprises her role of Claire Dearing, said the film also shows that humanity “keeps making the same mistakes over and over again”.
“If we just assume that we can just create without repercussions and innovate without any consequences, it’s totally arrogant to believe that.”
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is released in the UK on June 6.
