Jurassic World: Dominion footage shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas back in August included shots of “Owen (Chris Pratt) in a snowy environment taking off after dinosaurs”, and now Entertainment Weekly has shared a new image from the film that shows Owen hanging out with a dinosaur in the snow. This image can be seen below.
Set to reach theatres on June 10, 2022, Jurassic World: Dominion mixes the casts of the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park films together. Pratt is joined by Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Mamoudou Athie, DeWanda Wise, Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, Scott Haze, Campbell Scott, Dichen Lachman, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. Trevorrow has said this film is a “true ensemble”, with Neill, Dern, Goldblum, Pratt, and Howard all being of equal importance to the story, and that’s something he reiterated in a recent Total Film article:
Laura, Sam, and Jeff have as much screen time in the film as Bryce and Chris do. They’re not together the entire time, but we are following both of their stories equally, and you have a sense that they’re going to collide at a certain point… there’s this tension. It’s not structured necessarily in a way that we’re used to seeing our Hollywood movies structured. But it works.”
Trevorrow, who previously directed the first Jurassic World, directed this one from a screenplay he wrote with Emily Carmichael, based on an idea he crafted with his Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom co-writer Derek Connolly. An official synopsis has yet to be released, but Fallen Kingdom released dinosaurs into the North American countryside and by the time Dominion begins the dinosaurs have found a way to spread across the globe. The director says,
Dominion is set all over the world, through many different environments: wilderness, urban, desert, snow. It’s exciting to see these creatures navigate environments that they weren’t built to survive in. They grew up in a theme park and now they’re here!”
Trevorrow told Entertainment Weekly that Owen will be seen trying to protect parasaurs from poachers in the Sierra Nevadas when the new film catches up with him.
A collaboration between Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Jurassic World: Dominion was executive produced by Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg, with Frank Marshall producing alongside Pat Crowley. Sara Scott, senior vice president of production at Universal, oversaw the project for the studio.
