Laura Dern, Sam Neill & Jeff Goldblum Look Back On ‘Jurassic Park’ 30 Years Later

It’s been a long road since “Jurassic Park”. With “Jurassic World: Dominion” out this summer, original franchise stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum sat down with Vanity Fair to talk about reuniting 30 years later.

Among the many things that have changed about blockbuster filmmaking in the past few decades is a huge focus on secrecy, which wasn’t the case on “Jurassic Park” all those years ago. “On a lot of these projects…you’re like, ‘Oh, yes, I won’t tell anybody,'” Goldblum remarked. “But I don’t remember specifically that we were [asked], ‘Don’t reveal the dinosaurs or anything.'” “I think no one really understood what we were up to,” Dern added. “Just Steven Spielberg was making a movie, and it might have something to do with dinosaurs.” READ MORE: Sam Neill And Laura Dern Are Back In The Official ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ Trailer One seeming error that “Jurassic Park” fans have noted over the years is Neill’s shifting accent throughout the film, but the actor explained that was all Spielberg’s fault. “He came up to me halfway through the day and he said, ‘Hey, Sam, you know the accent we were talking about?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ve been working on it for four weeks….’ He said, ‘Don’t worry about it, just use your own voice,’” the Australian actor recalled. “I said, ‘That’s great, Steven, thank you so much.’ And then four days later, he came up to me and said, “You know that voice you’re using now?’ I said, ‘Yeah, my voice?’ He said, ‘Somewhere in between.’ It’s an actor’s nightmare!

So that’s why I get a lot of flak to this day: Sam Neill’s American accent in ‘Jurassic Park’ was a load of T. Rex poo.” READ MORE: ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Prologue Teases Destruction At The Drive-In, New Dinosaurs
