It would seem filming for Jurassic World 3 took place back in January in Ireland and news of the fact flew right under our radar, until now! Our friends at JurassicOutpost also were late to the punch but recently caught wind of the information, after discovering an interview between Joe.ie and Bryce Dallas Howard (below). During the interview, we learn that Jurassic World 3 had filmed in a forested area just outside of Dublin:
To further clarify, Irish blog Geek Ireland reported:
Speaking of dinosaurs, dinosaur animatronics have been spotted at the location, meaning this Irish location will almost certainly be featured in action sequences, as opposed to simple pickups and establishing shots (it is not uncommon for movies to film such shots in separate areas from where the main action takes place). Due to the aforementioned NDA, we cannot specify which species feature just yet, but re-watching the end of Fallen Kingdom should give you a good idea. Very specific props from Fallen Kingdom have also been spied on set, indicating the presence of a character who has appeared in both previous Jurassic World films in the Irish-shot scenes.
Special thanks to JurassicOutpost for the find!
Now that Jurassic World Rebirth has been released, check out interesting concept artwork from the film! You can also find behind-the-scenes production photos in our image gallery, here!
Jurassic World Rebirth did extremely well during its theatrical run, earning Universal Pictures over $860 million at the global box office! The film reportedly cost $180 million.
