‘Jurassic World’

The 2015 film Jurassic World revitalized the franchise that Steven Spielberg brought to life in 1993. Bringing back some classic concepts and introducing then-rising action star Chris Pratt to the series alongside Bryce Dallas Howard, the Universal Studios film was a huge success. Part of this was due to Pratt and Howard’s strained friendship. During the film’s finale, Pratt famously kisses Howard, surprising her. According to director Colin Trevorrow, the kiss was never in the script, and the only person he instructed to perform it was Pratt himself. During one take, Pratt moves in to kiss Howard. Her reaction is exactly what was utilized in the final version of the movie.
