...And in even more related Jurassic World news, actor Jake Johnson discussed his role in the fourth Jurassic Park movie with Vulture recently. Below is an excerpt from the interview:

So you’re in Jurassic World.

I haven’t shot it yet. I shoot at the end of July.

If you get to interact with dinosaurs, which one do you want?

Probably the T. Rex, but what I’m really excited about is the director, Colin Trevorrow, directed me in Safety Not Guaranteed. And the writer of that movie [Derek Connolly] did a rewrite on Jurassic World. That movie we did for, I think it was $600,000 up in Seattle, a 20-day shoot. I loved it. So to do that and now be doing Jurassic World together, it just feels like a fun jump.

So it’s not the dinosaurs that are getting you excited?

You know, it’s not real dinosaurs. [Laughs.] I’m the tech guy. I’m the guy in the booth, so I don’t get to wrestle around with the dinos. That’s Chris Pratt and Bryce Howard. They get to do all that.

I was just trying to get to your relationship with the original Jurassic Park.

I loved it. I was born in ’78, so when it came out I think I was 13, so it was a big deal. So to be in that franchise is really neat. I try not to think too much about it because it trips me out, because in my heart of hearts I feel like I belong in little independent movies, where the fact that I’m in Jurassic World, IÂ’m like, “Thank you!” It feels like I’m invited to a really nice party.
