Jeff Goldblum has discussed bringing his "saucy, sassy" chaos theorist character, Dr. Ian Malcolm back for Jurassic World 2.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the fan favourite actor explained when his filming begins, and what makes Malcolm enticing enough to don the leather coat once more.
"Off I go in a few weeks to London, where they’ve been hard at work, and I’ll try to contribute something to the plate of dino-entertainment. I like my character. I think my character is a saucy, sassy man of some integrity and deep thinking. And of course, that whole world continues to be popular, slam-bang, top entertainment."
We learned last month that Goldblum would return to the franchise he left in 1997, and it seems the director may have had something to do with it:
"I talked to the director, J.A. Bayona, over the phone. I enjoyed his movie The Impossible with Naomi Watts, and he’s something else. [...] Even though some might say it’s popcorn-y entertainment (top-notch, of course), in our conversation he was very focused on the serious issues of greed as it oftentimes comes up in those movies, and the marvels of science and reason and the very fascinating point at which our species finds itself both in real life and in this imaginary world too. I’m very interested in that myself, so I’m looking forward to this. I’ve got a few things to do. I’m nothing if not conscientious, so I’m enjoying working on it every day."
It's not the first time we've heard about Bayona's interest in the more serious underlying subjects of the upcoming sequel. Producer Colin Trevorrow has said that Bayona's making a film with "more complex" themes than the last, as well as a scarier tone.
Goldblum also discussed his other upcoming blockbuster role - as The Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok - and gave a hint as to what direction director Taika Waititi pushed his performance:
"When we first talked, he said, 'I want you to do your particular version of this character without being comic-y or grandiloquent. I think you should do something that’s in your creative family tree. And also improvise.' He was very interested in improvisation. We came to all those scenes and riffed enjoyably for the time we had. I don’t know what’s gonna come out in the mix because we gave him a whole bunch of different choices, I’ll tell you that."
He's clearly a fan of the Hunt for the Wilderpeople director, too, even possibly invoking a rating scale he might just have gotten from us: "He’s great. Taika Waititi gets 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums."
Thor: Ragnarok arrives on , while Jurassic World 2 opens in theaters on June 22, 2018.
