Chris Pratt says his character in Jurassic World is a mix of Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm.
Jurassic World is kind of like a sequel to Jurassic Park. Jurassic World starts 22 years after Jurassic Park happened. The dinosaurs are reprising their roles, but all the human characters are new. That’s why we can give them a pass for thinking, cloning dinosaurs? What could go wrong? Chris Pratt talked about his character in the upcoming Jurassic World. Chris says that he drew from Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm for the role.
In a conversation with MTV News, Christopher Pratt opened up about his method. Pratt is keenly aware of the shoes Sam Neill’s Dr. Grant and Jeff Goldblum’s Dr. Malcolm wore that he has to fill. Pratt says “He’s got a little of both. He’s got a little bit of the Goldblum cynicism but also the Sam Neill excitement at the wonder of the biology of it all, so it’s a combination.”
Jurassic World will be Colin Trevorrow’s first large franchise film. Chris Pratt told MTV News that Trevorrow, who also directed Safety Not Guaranteed, has a “great vision for the movie… It’s awesome that Steven Spielberg is taking a chance on this guy because he’s got a really clear vision. I sat down with him and it was kind of like with me and ['Guardians of the Galaxy' director] James [Gunn], we just kind of started getting excited about this.”
Pratt talked about the wisdom of dinosaur cloning in a post Jurassic Park world “What I liked about it was it answers the question of ‘Why would you do that?’ Like, how do you suspend disbelief to be like, ‘Oh yes, let’s make this mistake again. We haven’t learned our lesson about dinosaurs, we should definitely live with them and see how that works out!’ after like three tries at it. They answer the question really well through the script. Colin did a great job of writing it and justifying it and in his own way having fun with that, so anybody who goes in with that question will be really amused – the way I was – about how they answer that.”
Pratt is joining Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson. Jurassic world will be shot on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Kauai. Jurassic Park also used these locales for their Isla Nublar. Jurassic World is coming out on June 12th, 2015.
