Jurassic Park: Sam Neill & Laura Dern Reveal Last Time They Watched Movie
Stars of Jurassic Park Sam Neill and Laura Dern share the last time that they watched the classic dinosaur film. Jurassic Park premiered in 1993 and is the first film in a franchise that continues to this day. The Jurassic franchise centers on a theme park of living, cloned dinosaurs. The original Steven Spielberg-directed film stars Neill, Dern, and Jeff Goldblum as paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant, the paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, and mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm respectively, who are brought to the park as part of a safety certification.
Neill and Dern both have had long, successful careers since the release of Jurassic Park. Dern's roles in films and shows such as Blue Velvet, Wild, and Big Little Lies have only solidified her legacy.

Still, their characters in Jurassic Park hold some of their most memorable performances, and they will reprise their roles as Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler in the latest installment in the franchise, Jurassic World Dominion.
