Others thought it was pretty silly that Dern is still being associated with Jurassic Park after all these years:
After all of Laura Dern’s roles she still gets the dinosaur music

Some were hilariously offended that she didn’t come out to the theme of Twin Peaks considering today is Twin Peaks Day:
Rude they welcomed Laura Dern out with the Jurassic Park theme on Twin Peaks Day.

You can catch Laura Dern next playing Renata Klein in season two of Big Little Lies. Dern won multiple awards for her performance in the first season, including an Emmy. In 2019, you can also watch her in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Little Women adaptation and a new film from director Noah Baumbach.
Dern hasn’t been a part of the newest Jurassic Park films, but they are still managing to thrive without the great Ellie Sattler. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom managed to earn $1,309,484,461 worldwide, making it the third highest grossing film of 2018 after Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther.
Jurassic World 3 is expected to hit theaters on June 11, 2021.
