The issue of Total Film magazine that will hit store shelves on December 9th contains an article on director Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic Park / Jurassic World sequel Jurassic World: Dominion, and the online preview of that article has unveiled an image of Bryce Dallas Howard’s character Claire Dearing in the film! The image can be seen below, and Claire is not having a good time in the moment pictured.
Set to reach theatres on June 10, 2022, Jurassic World: Dominion mixes the casts of the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park films together. The line-up includes Chris Pratt, 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 previously 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 reiterates in the 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.”

The structure isn’t the only unusual thing about Jurassic World: Dominion. Trevorrow said,
This is a rare film where it is so different from anything that I’ve ever seen before, I didn’t know what to watch as inspiration. Honestly, we watched a lot of nature documentaries. I watched a lot of Planet Earth. The movie does rely on the animals acting and reacting in ways that feel natural.”
Trevorrow, who previously directed 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.
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.
