- LOS ANGELES — 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.
