JURASSIC WORLD's Irrfan Khan was the guest of honor at the River to River Florence Indian Film Festival, and after the event the actor had a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, where he talked a little about his role in the upcoming Colin Trevorrow directed film.
On who he will be playing in JURASSIC WORLD:
I'm playing the park owner, a very flamboyant person. When the first Jurassic Park came out, I barely had the money to see it and now I'm playing a part. He's trying to entertain the world with good intentions, but sometimes being flamboyant doesn't mean having much wisdom.
On how JURASSIC WORLD will be different from the original:
For sure it will have more vibe. It's the Jurassic World of these times, with all the technical experimentation. It has now become a fully-bloomed dinosaur amusement park. Dinosaurs in this film will definitely be scary, but this is not a horror film, so it will be like a scary adventure.
On if dealing with CGI co-stars made the filmmaking process difficult:
As an actor what's most important is how the story and the director make you feel on the set and that's immaterial if you have CGI or real partners. If you have a good chemistry with the director everything's fine and I really loved the playfulness of the script and Colin's approach.
I really want JURASSIC WORLD to be amazing, however I wasn't too impressed with the first trailer. But just because a trailer isn't great doesn't mean the film itself won't be fantastic, and as long as it's better than JURASSIC PARK III, I'll be happy.
JURASSIC WORLD will hit theaters on June 12, 2015.
