Laura Dern told TIME that reuniting with the adorable animatronic Nausutoceratops "was equally as jaw dropping, but nothing will be like that first moment I walked through a field on Kauai [in Hawaii] with Sam Neill and I looked ahead and I saw a triceratops. That was my first dinosaur and I will love that dinosaur the most forever."
Jeff Goldblum is the same age in this film that Sir Richard Attenborough was in Parque jurásico (1993).
When Jeff Goldblum found out he was appearing with his two co-stars from the original film, he wrote on Instagram about Colin Trevorrow a line he said in the original, "You did it, you crazy son of a bitch, you did it." He also added, "happy as a clamasaurus to be reunited with my brilliant costars from the original Jurassic Park Laura Dern and Sam Neill for the next installment of Jurassic World...Coming soon!!"
Laura Dern strongly expressed her desire to return to the series in March 2017, adding that: "If you guys make a last one, you gotta let Ellie Sattler come back. She's always the one who's saving the day, man!"
Sir Sam Neill has often said he thought Dr. Grant would have long since retired by now, but maybe the threat of dinosaurs back on American soil would force him to reconsider that option.
