Jeff Goldblum reveals Jurassic World: Dominion features an action scene with the original trio and a new dinosaur. Dominion will be the final film in the Jurassic World trilogy and is expected to bring the entire dinosaur franchise to a close. Production began earlier this year, but the coronavirus pandemic shut work down in mid-March along with most Hollywood productions. Luckily, though, Dominion was able to be one of the first films to get back to work last month, and aside from a location change following an outbreak in Malta, things have been progressing smoothly.
Despite plot details being limited right now, Dominion definitely feels like the end of an era. In addition to seeing the returns of most Jurassic World stars, Dominion is going back to the franchise's Jurassic Park roots. For the first time since the original 1993 film, Goldblum, Sam Neill, and Laura Dern will all be back together. Goldblum's Ian Malcolm previously appeared in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, but his role amounted to little more than a quick cameo. That looks to change with Dominion, as Neill has promised all three will have substantial roles.
Goldblum has revealed some details about what fans can expect from Dominion in a new interview with Insider. Most excitingly, Goldblum shared that the first scene he shot on Dominion was with both Neill and Dern, and while he couldn't provide very concrete details, it sounded quite exciting. "The first thing that we shot ... it was a scene with me and Laura Dern and Sam Neil and we were — I can't tell you much — but we were all day in a very tight, enclosed space," Goldblum said. "You'll see — it's a mystery you'll solve when you see [the movie.] The three of us were in a tiny little space and we were being menaced by — I can't even tell you — a surprising faction of prehistoric creatures that you've never seen before."
It sounds like Ian, Ellie Sattler (Dern), and Alan Grant (Neill) are right in the thick of the action and have found themselves pinned down by some new dinosaurs. While it isn't clear exactly what these dinos are, it could be the new pyroraptor that was revealed through recent set photos. Fans have already gotten some glimpses at the various creatures that will be included in the film, but the pyroraptor has the potential to be among the scariest. Making things even more exciting is the fact that some dinosaurs won't be CGI; Dominion will be using animatronics, as Goldblum also revealed.
The returns of Goldblum, Dern, and Neill are easily some of the most exciting aspects of Dominion, and it's very thrilling to hear they've already filmed some action scenes together. As Dominion is expected to focus on what happens after the dinosaurs have escaped into the world, it sounds like it'll be all hands on deck to get them contained. It's a good thing this is a team that has already proven they can handle stray dinosaurs, though since they're facing brand new ones, they might have quite the battle ahead of them.
