Sam Neill, long-time veteran of Universal Pictures' Jurassic Park/World film series, has given praise to Chris Pratt for being the franchise's first «action hero» in Jurassic World Dominion. Based on Michael Crichton's original novels, the $5 billion franchise has sprouted two movie trilogies, along with plenty of video games, theme park rides, and an animated series on Netflix. Dominion, the third film in the Jurassic World trilogy, is coming to theaters this June.
Set four years after the events of the previous film (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Dominion begins with dinosaurs living among human civilizations all over the world. The movie is directed by Colin Trevorrow and will unite the casts of both Jurassic trilogies — including Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, as well as Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Isabella Sermon — to bring this new saga to a close. BD Wong and Daniella Pineda also return to the cast, joined by newcomers DeWanda Wise and Campbell Scott.
