I was thinking about the cast of Jurassic World. When it was revealed who'd be in it, many were surprised. But if you think about it, the original trilogy didn't exactly feature the biggest stars either. Sam Neil is more or less known as "the guy from Jurassic Park." That's it. Jeff Goldblum is really only known from JP and Independance Day. Not much else. So really, the "small time cast" of Jurassic World shouldn't be all that surprising.

(Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallass Howard, two of the major stars in Jurassic World)

I was a bit, but then I thought about it and changed my mind.

I remember once I used to think Alan Grant was played by Robin Williams, but that was when I was 8.

Kind of funny, he actually named his daughter Zelda off the Legend of Zelda. Here's a wondeful commercial for the game, btu what makes it wonderful is just what he says at the end.

Now it really is depressing to watch again...

The cast, in my opinion, is a bit boring. Chris pratt is alright but he was in comedy shows, which kinda takes the serious part away.

Wong returning is the big plus. They should have had Lex and Time in this. Since apparently Hammond is not controlling Jurassic World.

MemberCompsognathusAug-17-2014 12:49 PM

I like Chris Pratt(he was good in Guardians of the Galaxy). Wong is a plus, yes.

Good point Rex Fan. Almost saw Guardians of the Galaxy, but I didn't, so I can't say how I like him.
