In a video for Entertainment Weekly, “Jurassic World” stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, and DeWanda Wise talked about the bond they forged while working together on the movie. EW reports that the cast also lived together in a UK hotel while on location.
“We were doing it all. We were cooking together, Bryce can do hair, I can do hair. I’m doing [Laura Dern’s daughter] Jaya’s hair, Bryce is giving haircuts,” Wise said in the video.
“Howard Haircuts! Bryce the Barber!” Howard joked, adding, “My confidence is much more significant than my talent.”
Howard returns to the franchise as dinosaur protectionist Claire Dearing, and Dern reprises her role as paleobotanist Ellie Sattler. Newcomer Wise, who plays pilot Kayla Watts, said she felt reassured by her costars on set.
“We endured a trauma together and literally helped each other through,” she said. “I could not have felt more supported and listened to and all the things that make you feel safe, seen, and understood.”
Dern also told stories about the group’s tight relationship, like when she showed up in Wise’s room to use her television before Wise was awake. The actress said she formed a strong “sisterhood” with her female costars on and off-screen — one that set a good example for young women.
” … What I didn’t expect but should have is to be in that experience and the gift of the sisterhood that, not only were we in this like, ‘We’re badass women characters in this thing together,’ but these women were helping me raise my daughter at one of the most difficult times in our history,” Dern said.
In an interview with Jonathan Dean of The Sunday Times in May, Dern, and actor Sam Neill also reflected on their characters’ relationships in “Jurassic Park.” The actress said that even though they “only now” recognize the 20-year age gap between their characters, many women working in technology and science “point to a similarity between Ellie’s heroism and women in their field.”
Neill and Jeff Goldblum also reprise their original roles in the latest installment of the franchise. “Jurassic World: Dominion” is in theaters now.
