GOTG Star Chris Pratt On What We Should Expect From JURASSIC WORLD
We'll see him as Star-Lord in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy later this year, but another major blockbuster on the horizon for Chris Pratt is Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World. Hit the jump to hear the actor discuss his character and what we should expect from the movie!
"What I liked about it was it answers the question of like, 'Why would you do that?' 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!' You know, after THREE tries at it.
They answer the question really well through this script; Colin did a great job of writing it, justifying it, and kind of - 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. That was really good and he's got 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. We talked about it, I sat down with him, and it was kind of like me and James [Gunn]. We just kind of started getting excited about this. In the back of my mind, I was like, 'Dude. This is gonna happen! They want YOU to do this movie!
I remember him saying, 'They're not gonna tell you this, but we want you to do it.' I was like, 'Really? Ok, oh my God...' So, just like getting really excited about it. [My character] has got a little bit of the Goldblum cynicism, but also the Sam Neill excitement of the wonder of the biology of it all. It's a combination.
We're gonna start filming in about six weeks or something. [Bryce Dallas Howard] is so cool. She's so great."
