'Jurassic World' Clip: Chris Pratt's Character Confronts 3 Raptors

An exclusive new clip, via Yahoo! Movies, of the forthcoming film “Jurassic World” has been released by Universal Pictures. It shows Chris Pratt's Owen Grady character trying to calm down three raptors that try to attack a worker. Grady is shown going inside the raptor paddock and whispering to the carnivores that they need to “stand down.”

“Hey! What did I just say? I see you. Back up. OK … Good,” he adds. Grady is also shown telling the other staff members of the park that if he shoots the raptors, the creatures will never trust him again. Pratt plays a member of the park’s staff who conducts behavioral research on raptors.

“Jurassic World” opens June 12. Colin Trevorrow has directed the film from a story by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. He has also written the screenplay with Jaffa, Silver and Derek Connolly. The film is based on the characters created by Michael Crichton. Pratt has been cast alongside Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, B. D. Wong, and Irrfan Khan.

The movie explores the relationship between humans and animals. The geneticists at the Hammond Creation Lab will create a hybrid dinosaur called Indominus Rex, to boost park attendance. The hybrid will escape and cause chaos. Park operations manager Claire Dearing (Howard) will see her young nephews caught in the frenzy and Pratt’s character will try to save them and other visitors.

Pratt had nothing but praise for Trevorrow in an interview with MTV. “He’s got a great vision for the movie. … It’s awesome that Steven Spielberg is taking a chance on this guy because he’s got a really clear vision.”

He also spoke about his character saying it’s a mix of protagonists from the previous installments. “He’s got a little bit of the (Jeff) Goldblum cynicism but also the Sam Neill excitement at the wonder of the biology of it all, so it’s a combination,” he added, mentioning two stars of the original "Jurassic Park" film.
