Universal Pictures’ $165 million budgeted “Jurassic World: Dominion” wrapped production yesterday at the UK’s Pinewood Studios, bringing to an end one of the biggest film productions to take place during this turbulent year.
‘Dominion’ was the first major studio movie to go back into production after the pandemic shut everything down in the spring and changed the entire film industry. Now it is complete following nearly 100 days of filming, cast and crew isolation, millions of dollars spent on protocols and 40,000 COVID tests.
Director Colin Trevorrow says in a statement:
“There are a lot of emotions… I’m not sure I can put it into words. It has been remarkable. Our crew and our cast has been so resilient. All producers have worked around the clock to make it the best it can be. It has been inspiring… I think that close proximity to each other has made the movie better. Everything we were going through emotionally we would share. We would rehearse on Sundays, we crafted the characters, which made the emotion of the film richer. I think the movie will be stronger for it.”
The plan remains to release the film theatrically in Summer 2022.
