Scarlett Johansson Opens Up On Filming Jurassic World Rebirth, Calls It 'Brutal'
Published By : IANS Last Updated: Is is being said that Jurassic World Rebirth, which will be released in cinemas in July, will be darker in tone than previous movies. Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson says it was extremely difficult shooting 'Jurassic World Rebirth' at the height of summer in Malta because 'there was no escape from the sun." The 40-year-old star, who plays the role of Zora Bennett in the latest movie in the 'Jurassic Park' franchise, told Empire magazine: 'There was no escape from the sun. It was just baking every day. And you're on this rig, 30 feet in the air or whatever it is, and it's moving up and down and sideways, and there's all this water being shot out of these cannons towards you. It was brutal. To do it one day would be hard. But to do it continuously for, like, six weeks or whatever…" The movie's director Gareth Edwards said that he did feel sympathy for his cast as they made the flick in gruelling conditions, reports The 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' filmmaker recalled: 'At the end of each day, I'd try and reassure them that tomorrow was going to be easier because of this reason. And then the next day would be even harder for either precisely the same reason, or a brand-new other reason. After a while, they just stopped believing me." Edwards has hinted that 'Jurassic World Rebirth', which will be released in cinemas in July, will be darker in tone than previous movies and suggested that it is a 'horror film". The director said: 'It's really a horror film. It's the sort of horror you enjoy, rather than stuff that will traumatise you forever. Like the way people enjoy fairground rides. But it's full-on darkness, right?" The filmmaker has long been a fan of the 'Jurassic Park' franchise after watching the original movie in 1993 at the age of 18 and was daunted by the prospect of guiding the film's iconic director Steven Spielberg – who serves as an executive producer on 'Jurassic World Rebirth' – around the set. The 49-year-old filmmaker said: 'The only thing I can compare it to is having to show George Lucas around the set of a 'Star Wars' film. I definitely believe I am in the Matrix and I chose 'film director' as my simulation, because this shouldn't really happen." The movie features a new set of characters, with Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey both appearing in the movie, and screenwriter David Koepp revealed that it was an easy decision to launch a fresh start for the franchise.

Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali take on the ‘worst' dinosaurs ever in Jurassic World Rebirth. Watch trailer
The Jurassic Park franchise introduced audience to a beautiful, incredible and dangerous reality when the first movie hit theatres in 1993. Now Universal Pictures is back with Jurassic World Rebirth, where the characters will face off against their biggest threat yet. The trailer of the Gareth Edwards directoral shows a group of explorers travelling to an island which houses an abandoned theme park that experimented with one of nature's deadliest creations, dinosaurs. The trailer opens with a scene inside of a research facility where something has gone terribly wrong, with scientists running to safety behind a door, but one of them fails to make it and pleads with the person on the other side to 'please open the door,' as a giant claw grabs him from behind. We are then introduced to the team of explorers that have set out on a journey to obtain DNA of three dinosaur species, one each from land, air and sea, in order to develop a revolutionary drug for human use. Zora Bennett, played by Scarlett Johansson, talks about the island, which was the original location for the Jurassic Park experiments, and says, 'The theme park owners did experimental work, leaving only the worst ones here.' The team then meets a civilian family, the Delgados, stuck on the island, battling for their survival, and decides to help them get out alive. They seem to have it under control as they start obtaining the required DNA while fighting against smaller dinosaurs, but things start going south as they quickly discover the fallout of the experiments that were conducted on the island. Henry Loomis, who is a palaeontologist, states that 'We have put ourselves in a place where we don't belong; survival is a long shot.' The team proceeds to wade through the tropical jungles as they try to complete their mission, while protecting the civilians they have sworn to get out of there. It is at this point we see the extent of the experiments, as a baby dinosaur is seen groaning for help because she is afraid. Then through the red mist appears the franchise's most formidable and dangerous dinosaur, the Distortus Rex, which possibly came to be due to a botched experiment on T-Rex. Chaos ensues as the team fights their way through against dangerous predators, who have been occupying the island for years and don't take kindly to this intrusion.
