Bill1978 December 21, 2021 Share December 21, 2021 Well that's the first bit of footage that makes me want to actively see this movie in cinemas. Still not thrilled the dinosaurs have made it off the island and based on that trailer it seems the movie will end with humans having to learn to live with dinosaurs. Fingers crossed the original 3 survive the movie. And I'm impressed that they have kept the same child for this movie, instead of cycling in a new kid to terrorize.. I know it will never happen but I would love it if we saw all the other kids from the movies in this oneย - but I know if we did it would jsut be for them all to be eaten. 5 Link to comment

Bruinsfan January 1, 2022 Share January 1, 2022 Well, they've got me by putting Ellie Sattler in the trailer before the new people. If some of my $10 goes toward Laura Dern's salary, I'm good. Realistically though, I don't see a handful of dinosaurs that may not even have breeding pairs being that big a danger to humanity as a whole. It makes for dramatic scenes of kids being menaced by something with fang-filled jaws, but hippos and crocodiles probably kill more people per year than the survivors of Jurassic World could. 2 Link to comment

And I think people may be underestimating the size and importance of Laura Dern and Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum's characters in this movie. It is very much an ensemble, and that [includes] the ability to take these beloved characters from almost 30 years now, and understand how they interact with each other in the context of a world that we've really never seen before, and have not been able to witness until now. It's very exciting for me. I'm having the time of my life." * ย * ย * Universal dropped a synopsis for Jurassic World: Dominion right here: "This summer, experience the epic conclusion to the Jurassic era as two generations unite for the first time. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are joined by Oscarยฎ-winner Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill in Jurassic World Dominion, a bold, timely and breathtaking new adventure that spans the globe."ย "From Jurassic World architect and director Colin Trevorrow, Dominion takes place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now liveโand huntโalongside humans all over the world.

In the footage, we see both the casts from Jurassic Park โ i.e., Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill, and the Jurassic World pair of Chris Pratt and Howard โ as they search for the kidnapped baby of raptor Blue while massive dinosaurs wreak destruction on land and sea. Says Dernโs Ellie Sattler, โIf our world is going to survive, what matters is what we do now.โ * ย * ย * Before rolling the clip tonight, Howard and Goldblum were introduced to the stage by David Quincer, owner of the Starlite Drive-In Theate in Litchfield, MN. The exhibition veteran said his family had been bringing movies to the ย Midwest for the past 100 years. During the pandemic, he screened Jurassic Park at his drive-in and said it was the biggest repertory title all season. Goldblum, dressed all in black and sporting his trademark sunglasses, told exhibition attendees that โGoing to movie theaters, theyโve been the most romantic and magical times of my life.โ He also promised the Jurassic crew would be โgoing on an extensive publicity tour everywhere you can imagine. We are genuinely very enthused, we are crazed about this movie.โ * ย * ย * Goldblum also recalled his characterโs warning from the first film that just because you could revive the dinosaur doesnโt mean you should. โThat wisdom was ignored through subsequent movies,โ he pointed out. Said Howard, โWhat would these moves be if people made the right choices?โ Retorted Goldblum, โYou may be on to something. Maybe thatโs been the message all this time, that dinosaurs are clever and homo sapiens are ignoramuses, or is it ignorami?โ ย Edited April 28, 2022 by tv echo Link to comment
Bill1978 April 29, 2022 Share April 29, 2022 Why did the latest trailer give me the strong impresson that Alan Grant is gonna be eaten - or at least killed - by a dinosaur before this movie ends. I'm hoping that shot of Ellie screaming is a fake out that's all I'm gonna say. Can't believe they included the shot of the poor guy on the bike getting eaten. Although that moment does highlight everything I dislike about the concept of dinosaurs running around with humans for this series. But I'll still be seeing this in the theatre - even if it appears the best way to calm a dinosaur down and stop it from attacking is to hold your palms up. Link to comment

tv echo June 6, 2022 Share June 6, 2022 Opens in U.S. theaters on June 10... Box Office: โJurassic World: Dominionโ Bites Into $55 Million Internationally By Rebecca Rubin ย ย June 5, 2022https://variety.com/2022/global/box-office/box-office-jurassic-world-dominion-international-opening-weekend-1235285123/ย Quote โJurassic World: Dominionโ kicked off at the international box office with a mighty $55.4 million. The sixth installment in Universalโs dinosaur-centric franchise opened in 15 major overseas markets over the weekend, playing on roughly 10,000 screens across Mexico, Korea, Brazil, Italy and more. โJurassic World: Dominionโ had the biggest start in Mexico with $18 million, followed by Korea with $15 million, Brazil with $4.3 million and Italy with $3.4 million. The film will continue its international rollout throughout June in France, Germany, Australia, Spain, the United Kingdom, China and Japan. โDominionโ is widely expected to be one of the biggest films of the summer when it opens in U.S. theaters on June 10. Its predecessors, 2015โs โJurassic Worldโ and 2018โs โJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,โ each surpassed $1 billion at the global box office. You've Seen Jurassic Park More Times Than Its Star Sam Neill By Germain Lussier ย ย June 3, 2022https://gizmodo.com/sam-neill-jurassic-park-interview-jurassic-world-domini-1849010801ย Quote Germain Lussier, io9: So youโve been in three Jurassic Park films over three different decades with three different directors. How has your perception of Alan Grant changed in that time and what did you learn about him from each of those experiences? Sam Neill: I donโt think heโs changed at all. Heโs just older and grumpier now. But I donโt think people do change very much over the years, and Iโm just more familiar with him now than I was. And I enjoyed being back in his company. Itโs interesting. You donโt get many chances to play one character over 30 years. Thatโs pretty strange, isnโt it? But I think itโs true for all three of those legacy characters, [myself], Laura, and Jeff. Jeffโs character is still really annoying and wonโt shut up, and Alan finds him infuriating. Heโs still hopelessly in love with Ellie. So things havenโt changed that much. Theyโre just older and not much wiser. io9: Now, I assume when you signed on to make the original film in early 1990, you obviously thought that it was going to be good. Steven Spielberg directing. Big effects film. But did you or anyone making it ever think it could endure as it has? Neill: No, not at all. I mean, Steven was going on to make Schindlerโs List, which, of course, is a masterpiece. But that was a serious film with serious purpose. We were making popular culture. But isnโt it strange how sometimes things that are made for popular consumption persist? You know, if you think, going back to my day, progressive rockโprog rockโtook itself very seriously for a while. No one remembers it anymore. And that was made with serious intent. Whereas I donโt know, a song like โBe My Baby,โ it can never perish. And thereโs something about that first Jurassic, it popped it because it broke new ground and people went into the cinema and went, โOh my God, I canโt believe what Iโm seeing.โ I donโt know. It was just something that sort of hit a chord at the time and itโs become curiously ageless. Iโm not sure if I can completely explain why that is. * ย * ย *io9: I completely agree. Now, one of the films youโre obviously not in is the 2015 film that kind of relaunched the franchise. And what I like about that film is itโs Jon Hammondโs dream finally comes true. The park finally exists. How do you think Alan Grant felt about that? And did that come at all in your performance with this film? Neill: I think Alan Grant would have thoroughly disapproved [laughs]. And, you know, every prediction that he ever would have made came true in that. But he couldnโt have quite foreseen a woman bitten in half by a sea creature and an air creature because sheโs on the cell phone a little too much. But no, I think his attitude to Prattโs character [in Dominion] is ambivalent at best because Pratt has worked at this place and furthermore has actually trained dinosaurs, which Alan Grant would also think wasnโt really such a great idea. But, you know, given his empathy with dinosaurs, they do have quite, quite a bit in common. We didnโt probably quite make enough of that. But I think itโs an interesting dynamic. * ย * ย *io9: Yeah, no, absolutely. Now, do you remember how you first heard about this film? Who called you? Who mentioned it to you? And were you automatically in? Did you have to be convinced? Neill: Oh, no, I wasnโt automatically. I was getting rumors from my agent that Universal was talking about this, and they wanted me and Jeff and Laura to be in it, but I didnโt really want to be in something where Iโd just be playing a cameo. That was not really interesting to me. But I went to Sitges to a film festival there and I met [co-writer and director] Colin Trevorrow there. He took me out to lunch. We had a long lunch, quite a lot of paella and a bottle or two of [indistinguishable] and yeah, and I was well persuaded by the end of that. So that was about October before we started shooting. We were supposed to start in February, I think. It ended up being more like May, June, of the next year, 2020. So itโs been quite a long time in gestation when you think about it. io9: So what in that conversation kind of really sold you? Was it Colin? A story beat in particular? Was it getting the band back together? Was there anything in particular that stood out that really kind of put you in? Neill: Well, mostly his great and abiding affection for those characters and how he wanted them to be completely integrated into the Jurassic World world. And so that persuaded me. And also the idea of hanging out with Jeff and Laura again which, of course, is an attractive one in itself. * ย * ย *io9: Oh, absolutely. Now, in this movie Grant spends a good amount of time with Ellie and then some time with the big group of both casts. How does how did the shoot change when you were shooting those group scenes? Was there different energy on set when both casts come together? Neill: To be honest, we donโt come together a lot. Itโs really towards the end of the film that these crowds are united. But I was very pleased to be alongside that other lot. Bryce and Chris and so on. I mean, itโs their franchise, not ours. And they were very welcoming and warm and curiously respectful [laugh]. I donโt think it was necessary, but they kept saying, โItโs such an honor to be with youโ which took me completely by surprise. I donโt know why theyโd say that. io9: Thatโs really nice. I think I understand. I saw the first film on opening day when it came out in 1993. And to this day, when I watch it, when the helicopter comes into the island, I weep. With you being in the movie, can you still have that kind of emotional experience or is there a detachment there? Neill: Well, Iโve probably only seen the film two or three, maybe four times, and that would have been in 1993. So itโs not something... [laughs]. Matter of fact, I was walking through a shopping center the other day, a big shopping mall, and there was this music playing. And I thought โThatโs kind of familiar music.โ And the person I was with said โDo you recognize this music?โ I said, โIt seems familiar.โ And they said, โYouโre so silly, this is the theme for Jurassic Park, for goodness sake.โ Oh, yeah, youโre right. Youโre right. * ย * ย *io9: Youโre absolutely right. Itโs not the most PC way to say it, but, you know, the easiest way to do it. Iโm running out of time here and I could talk to you all day. But stepping back, as you said, youโve played this character for almost 30 years. What is it about Alan Grant that has made people fall in love with him over the years? Sam Neill: Well, that is a question that I, of all people, would never be able to answer. Youโd have to ask someone else. I donโt see anything particularly lovable about Alan Grant. I like him because I sort of empathize with his... he has no idea what to do with children, ends up having to look after children, is always a little bit out of his depth with seatbelts as well as he is with children. Heโs not an action hero. Heโs never been an action hero. Heโs just an ordinary guy who has to... heโs got a hat. But that doesnโt make you an action hero. Heโs just an ordinary guy whoโs trying to survive, really. And maybe thatโs what people like. That they donโt see him as being the gung-ho guy, heโs just one of us. 1 1 Link to comment
ShadowHunter June 6, 2022 Share June 6, 2022 Im just looking forward to seeing the original trio back together again. That alone makes this movie worth it. It is nice having a Summer movie season again.ย That feeling of being inside watching a movie and when it's over you step outside and the sun and heat feel like a gut punch lol. 5 Link to comment
