Sam Neill Promises Sizable Roles for Original ‘Jurassic Park’ Characters in ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’
Sam Neill‘s Alan Grant, Laura Dern‘s Ellie Sattler, and Jeff Goldblum‘s Ian Malcolm are all returning for Jurassic World: Dominion, but what we’ve been wondering since the announcement was made is just how large their roles will be. Goldblum appeared in a minor cameo role in Fallen Kingdom, but the trio’s involvement in Dominion looks to be substantial.
Speaking with Yahoo, Sam Neill promises much more than mere cameos.
“We’re all the way through the film, Jeff [Goldblum], and me, and Laura [Dern],” Neill told Yahoo Movies UK this week.
Production on Dominion is currently on hold due to the ongoing pandemic, but filming is set to kick back into gear in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
Colin Trevorrow is directing Dominion.
The film’s current release date is June 11, 2021, but that could change.
The cast also includes Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, Dichen Lachman, Mamoudou Athie, DeWanda Wise and Scott Haze. Campbell Scott is playing original Jurassic Park character Lewis Dodgson.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
