Chris Pratt's Jurassic World Role Part-Ian Malcom, Part-Alan Grant

Chris Pratt has been discussing his role in the upcoming Jurassic World with MTV Movies (via Screen Rant).

The actor, who can be heard playing Emmet in The LEGO Movie, was asked if his character, an ex-military type, had anything in common with series protagonists Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill) or Dr Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum).

"He’s got a little of both," said Pratt. "He’s got a little bit of the Goldblum cynicism but also the Sam Neill excitement at the wonder of the biology of it all, so it’s a combination.”

He went on to explain why anyone would think cloning dinosaurs, after the catastrophic events of the first three movies, was still a good idea.

“What I liked about it was it answers the question of ‘Why would you do that?’ Like, how do you suspend disbelief to be like, ‘Oh yes, let’s make this mistake again. We haven’t learned our lesson about dinosaurs, we should definitely live with them and see how that works out!’ after like three tries at it.  They answer the question really well through the script.  Colin did a great job of writing it and justifying it and in his own way having fun with that, so anybody who goes in with that question will be really amused – the way I was – about how they answer that.”

And it's clear that Pratt also has great confidence in Jurassic World's director, Colin Trevorrow.

“He’s got a great vision for the movie… It’s awesome that Steven Spielberg is taking a chance on this guy because he’s got a really clear vision.

Jurassic World is scheduled for release on June 12, 2015.
