The sequel to Jurassic World will be released this Monday, September 16th in Europe. This is not the third film in the trilogy, but an 8-minute short film that will be available online. Battle at Big Rock takes place a few miles from Lockwood, where dinosaurs are released in the second tier. But the short film was shot in Ireland, in Powerscourt Park in Enniskerry, south of Dublin.
A short walk from Powerscourt Manor, an alley of huge redwoods and giant ferns. " We are here in the American Garden. The giant sequoias will appear in the film, says Jil Robins the property manager Powerscourt. The seventh viscount of Powerscourt was traveling all over the planet, and he was bringing back seeds for his garden. These trees come from the United States . "
It's because the park looks like Northern California that the director of the short film Colin Trevorrow chose to shoot here and also to preserve the secret. " It was only after they left that we realized that what was shot here was really exciting," continues Jil Robins . It happened in January, and they mostly shot at night. And again, I know it only because I was walking my dog by night! "
Shooting in the biggest secrecy
Even the employees did not know about it and learned it from the press, like Liz. " I just read that, yes! I think it's a very good thing, "she enthuses. A good thing, even though the park already hosts 300,000 visitors a year.
Visitors a little moved to walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs, like Catherine who saw all Jurassic movies . " I read something about filming this morning on Facebook. It's a good choice, it's really an old garden in Ireland, she explains. To be honest, I can not imagine dinosaurs here, but I think it sticks with the place. "
And it's an allosaurus, a kind of little T-Rex, that should appear in the alleys of Powerscourt. What to wait before the release of Jurassic World 3, scheduled for 2021.
