With the long awaited release of Jurassic World this weekend, dino devotees will be ecstatic to learn that recent action fim favorite, Chris Pratt, has confirmed his involvement in a sequel to the latest summer blockbuster.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 35-year-old joked "they have me for I think 38 movies or something." The Guardians of the Galaxy star explained that some of his favorite moments revolving around filming was being able to enjoy Hawaii with wife and actress Anna Faris and their two-year-old son Jack.
"My favorite part of the process was being in Hawaii with my family," he said. "Swimming, surfing and fishing, and doing runs and hikes all around there and then going to work in Hawaii. I want see if I can get a role on Hawaii 5-0 or something. If I could live there and work, I would" he added.
In promotion of the latest film, Pratt stopped by the desk of Conan O'Brien to share acting techniques and three emotional faces, all of which comically ended up being the same.
"It sorta happens naturally. I didn't practice in the mirror," he said.
In preparation for Pratt's role of raptor whisperer, he sat down to gain insight from a series of important films. "I watched the whole franchise again. But I also watched movies like The African Queen and Romancing the Stone and Raiders and things like that because those are the movies that Colin [the director] told me to watch. Or like Temple of Doom," he said. "All those relationship movies where there's a conflict between the male and female characters that reads as sexual chemistry."
Pratt, who plays Owen Grady, starred alongside Bryce Dallas Howard as the film takes place 22 years after the failed attempt of the original Jurassic Park. Returning to Isla Nublar, an array of dinosaurs can now be found roaming the land as a part of a functioning amusement park—until genetically modified monsters and money-hungry corporations pose a major problem. The Colin Trevorrow-directed film is expected to reel in and even out the $150 million filming cost before the weekend is through, already banking $511 million, notes Business Insider.
