Guardians Of The Galaxy's Chris Pratt Talks Jurassic World And Star Wars

According the PR Record Gazette, Chris Pratt has finally confirmed his role in the upcoming film Jurassic World. Pratt also spoke a bit about what a big influence the original Jurassic Park was on him when it was released:

"For me, Jurassic Park was really kind of my Star Wars…I lined up at the theatre to see it, I saw it opening night, I saw every sequel, I've seen it a whole bunch of times… for me that was my big movie, I think I was 13 or 14 when it came out…And so it's a big deal for me to be any part of that, let alone this part I'm going to be playing. I'm thrilled about it."

Pratt had been rumored for the role in Jurassic World previously, and that rumor seemed pretty solid after Ron Howard tweeted that his daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, would be playing opposite of Pratt in the film. Pratt is poised to have quite a year. He's currently promoting The Lego Movie, in which he voices the main character, Emmett, and will be playing the role of Star-Lord in Marvel's Guardian of the Galaxy. Jurassic World is scheduled for theatrical release June 12, 2015.
