00:00So, what was your relationship like with the original Jurassic Park films?
00:04Well, the original Jurassic Park film, number one, was one of the seminal experiences of my cinema-going youth.
00:10You know, it was an exposure to a world of adventure and Spielberg and the impossible being brought to life.
00:20And I think my fascination with that has never ceased.
00:24So, in many ways, it was the beginning of a love affair with cinema that I now get to be a part of.
00:31And what do you think that this film brings to the franchise that's different from what people have seen?
00:36I think this is, in many ways, a return tonally to the first movie.
00:40It's very much a love letter to Spielberg.
00:43We shot on 35mm, and Gareth, our director, has referenced, I think, pretty much every film Spielberg ever did, has done.
00:52But also, I mean, in very, very simple terms, in all the other ones, the dinosaurs are chasing the humans,
