Scarlett Johansson Calls ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ a ‘Love Letter’ to Steven Spielberg: Fans Will ‘Feel the DNA of the Original’


The stars of 'Jurassic World Rebirth, including Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey were in London for the film’s world premiere.

Alongside director Gareth Edwards, Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey (no stranger to green carpets thanks to “Wicked”), Rupert Friend and Ed Skrein were in attendance at the Odeon Luxe cinema in Leicester Square. Also at the premiere was the film’s writer David Koepp, who penned the original franchise-launching “Jurassic Park,” producer Frank Marshall, plus composer Alexandre Desplat and Universal’s Donna Langley and Peter Cramer. Speaking from the carpet, Johansson — wearing a figure-hugging pink dress — said “Rebirth” took the franchise back to its roots, noting Koepp’s involvement and Edwards being an “enormous fan” of Steven Spielberg.
