Pratt told Guthrie and Kotb, 57, that it was “actually insane” to work closely with Neill, 74, Dern, 55, and Goldblum, 69, on the movie, after the trio last appeared together in the originalJurassic Parkmovie that kicked off the franchise back in 1993.
“The first time I sawJurassic Park, I was 13 — I had no idea I was gonna ever be an actor … and these folks were, like, cemented in my mind as icons,” Pratt said. “So to be working with them, it’s a dream come true.”
“I made a promise we would bring her home,” says Owen in arecently released trailer, to which Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm responds, “You made a promise … to a dinosaur.”
