Johansson is one of the most successful and iconic actresses across the globe. She was named as the highest-paid actress of Hollywood back in 2018 and 2019 and has featured multiple times in the Forbes Celebrity 100 List.
Why Thailand?
With dramatic coastlines, towering limestone peaks, and dense jungle, the filmmakers didn't need to fabricate a setting—the terrain delivered it all and such was the beauty of the film. Starting from the thick forest to the coastlines and the Fossil sites in Khon Kaen, Kalasin, and Chaiyaphum that remains over 100 million years old.
No wonder after scouting various locations around the world, the crew finally decided on the gorgeous, otherworldly landscapes of Krabi in Thailand.
According to a report the team was originally looking for various locations around the world. The producers considered several destinations — from the Dominican Republic and Mauritius to Panama and Costa Rica. In the end, they landed on Krabi, where director Gareth Edwards had previously filmed The Creator in 2023. To build the film's world, the crew blended Thailand's real landscapes with sets constructed in Malta, New York City, and London.
Thailand is closely linked to the Jurassic World franchise

Phang-Nga – Karst Islands and Coastal Majesty
Phang-Nga brought grandeur to Jurassic World: Rebirth, with limestone cliffs and emerald waters forming a natural backdrop for the film's dinosaur-inhabited island world.
Trang – Remote Islands and Golden Light
Trang added a quieter, more secluded tone to Jurassic World: Rebirth, with unspoilt islands evoking a lost-world paradise filled with ancient mystery.

After staging 19 successful shows across Bengaluru and Hyderabad, the play 'The Good Doctor' is all set to tickle the people of Mysuru for the very first time. This full length, rip-roaring comedy unfolds at Natana Rangashale premises in the city on August 10 between 6.30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are available on the District platform and also at the venue.

The play, set in 1970's India, unfurls in 4 states – Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, and Andhra Pradesh, it added. 'The audience are drawn into a world of stories, each shaped by the writer's experiences and brought to life through his imagination. Each of the four vignettes stand alone, yet the characters' behaviour and their story resolutions remain delightfully unconventional and unpredictable,' the release stated. Srilalitha Pamidipati has adeptly adapted the original play to the Indian context and has further directed the production that will leave the audience in splits of laughter and poignance, the organisers here said. Dramaturgy of the play is by Deepak Subramanya aka Jayanth of the teleserial 'Lakshmi Nivasa'. He also essays the role of the writer in the current production.
