Scarlett Johansson recalls how the original “Jurassic Park” deeply influenced her childhood as she premieres her role in “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” set to release on July 2.
At the London premiere of "Jurassic World: Rebirth," Johansson shared with Reuters that seeing the first "Jurassic Park" movie at age 10 left a lasting impression.
“It imprinted on me very deeply,” she said. “For the next three decades, I was like, I would have done anything to be in a Jurassic movie in any capacity.”
The new film, directed by Gareth Edwards, centers on a team of specialists who venture to a forbidden island housing the original “Jurassic Park” research facility. Johansson stars alongside Jonathan Bailey from "Bridgerton," as they seek DNA samples from three dinosaurs to develop a life-saving medical treatment.
Rupert Friend, also part of the cast, described the film as an exciting adventure. “I love adventure. I love being taken on a ride where you don't know what's going to happen. I love the unknown. I love risk,” he said.
Director Gareth Edwards admitted the pressure for the movie’s success became real only upon arriving at the premiere. “It’s all front and centre here. It feels a bit weird to be honest. I can't quite get my head around it,” he remarked.
"Jurassic World: Rebirth" will be released by Universal Pictures on July 2.
