Jeff Goldblum Compares Jurassic World: Dominion Return To The Exorcist
Jeff Goldblum compares his return as Ian Malcolm in Jurassic World: Dominion to The Exorcist. Goldblum had already made a name for himself by the time Jurassic Park came out in 1994, most notably with David Cronenberg's The Fly, yet the role of Ian Malcolm is arguably his most popular role to date. Malcolm was one of the three main characters in Steven Spielberg's first film in the Jurassic Parktrilogy, alongside Sam Neill's Alan Grant and Laura Dern's Ellie Sattler. Goldblum also led The Lost World, with the story revolving around him traveling to John Hammond's second Jurassic Park site to save his girlfriend.
After 2001's Jurassic Park 3 was released, Jurassic Park 4 was stuck in development hell for years. 14 years later, the reboot/sequel Jurassic World came out in 2015, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The film, along with its sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, hasn't been able to reach the same critical praise as the original Jurassic Park, partly because Malcolm, Alan, and Ellie haven't been involved in the story. Goldblum had a small cameo in the first Jurassic World sequel, and he is set to have a starring role in Jurassic World: Dominion alongside Neill and Dern, marking their first collaboration in nearly 30 years.
