Laura Dern told TIME that reuniting with the adorable animatronic nausutoceratops "was equally as jaw dropping, but nothing will be like that first moment I walked through a field on Kauai [in Hawaii] with Sam Neill and I looked ahead and I saw a triceratops. That was my first dinosaur and I will love that dinosaur the most forever."
Jeff Goldblum is the same age in this film that Richard Attenborough was in Jurassic Park (1993).
When Jeff Goldblum found out he was appearing with his two co-stars from the the original film, he wrote on Instagram about Colin Trevorrow a line he said in the original, "You did it, you crazy son of a bitch, you did it." He also added, "happy as a clamasaurus to be reunited with my brilliant costars from the original Jurassic Park Laura Dern and Sam Neill for the next installment of Jurassic World...Coming soon!!"
Laura Dern strongly expressed her desire to return to the series in March 2017, adding that: "If you guys make a last one, you gotta let Ellie Sattler come back. She's always the one who's saving the day, man!"
Colin Trevorrow has revealed that this film is actually going to have more animatronics than its predecessors. As he put it: "We've actually gone more practical with every Jurassic movie we've made since the first one, and we've made more animatronics in this one than we have in the previous two."
