By now everyone is fully aware that we're getting a new JURASSIC PARK film with Colin Trevorrow's JURASSIC WORLD, set to stomp into theaters on June 12 2015. We've heard rumors on what the film will be about but now actor Vincent D'Onofrio, who has been rumored to be playing a villain in the film, has spoken out to say that no one has gotten it right about what JURASSIC WORLD is really about.
D'Onofrio recently spoke with Screen Crush, sharing that there are a lot of plot elements that have yet to be revealed about the upcoming film, and he says we're in for quite a surprise. When pressed for info D'Onofrio would only say:
Anyway … I mean, all I can say – I can’t talk about story, again. These days, it’s like the way Woody Allen — everybody’s taking Woody Allen’s approach and you’re not allowed to discuss anything, so … Basically all I can say is that Chris Pratt has become a friend; he’s an awesome guy. Colin Trevorrow is a great director. The crew on that [film] was amazing. The storyline is gonna be so different than the first few.
Some of the scenes in that, just the scenes that I shot — I’m not in nearly as much as Chris is or Bryce, they’re the leads in the movie — but just if I’m gonna talk about the stuff that I did, the scenes are so cool. There’s real dialogue scenes in the movie and there’s real, like, acting scenes in the movie, but at the same time the environment is full of dinosaurs. I mean, it’s just amazing.
In regards to what's been leaked online in terms of the story, D'Onofrio would only say:
You know, I’ve seen a lot of the stories out there. None of them really have it. Yeah, not really. You have no idea what’s in store. There really are a couple of, I would say more than five or six scenes in that, that are just totally iconic, like amazing.
What D'Onofrio can tell us about the story:
I’m legally bound not to say anything, and I also think it’s more exciting not to. It’s so funny because, when you’re on a set like that . . . it’s not the same feeling you have on any other set, like, something that was created up, this world that was created by Steven Spielberg. When you’re on that set, I remember the first couple days on the set it was so weird it. You see, “oh, there’s the jeep from so and so,” and “oh f*ck, that’s,oh shit!,” and everything looks so Jurassic-y. It’s quite something. Then you have to realize that, you know, f*ck, you know, I’m playing a real guy in a real situation, and you gotta start acting. But at first when you walk on set, like when we were shooting in Hawaii, we’re on the side of this beautiful mountain, flying in helicopters and all kinds of shit.
Like I said, there’s an endless amount of iconic scenes in the movie that come one after another that are going to be so spectacular. You know, I think everyone is going to just love it. If they’re anything, like, if the public is anything as enthusiastic as my daughter and my 14-year-old son, I think it’s gonna be a huge movie then.
It could be a while before we hear an 'official synopsis' for JURASSIC WORLD as the film is still somewhat shrouded in secrecy. That just increases our anticipation for the film. I, for one, can't wait!
JURASSIC WORLD opens on June 12 2015. It stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Jake Johnson.
