"Jurassic Word" star Bryce Dallas Howard has shared her thoughts on the high-heel issue of her character in Colin Trevorrow's film.
Howard played Claire Dearing, the park's operations manager and Zach and Gray's aunt, in the film. Fans saw Dearing, along with Chris Pratt's Owen Grady, run away from the vicious Indominus rex with her high heels in the film, which created reverberating controversy after the film's release.
In her interview with Yahoo Movies UK, Howard said that from a rational perspective, she did not think Dearing would have taken off her heels nor would have chosen to be barefoot. The actress also said that she did not think her character would have run faster without any footwear in a jungle filled with vines and stones.
Howard also mentioned that Dearing would be able to run faster when she had shoes on her feet, instead of wearing flats. For the actress, Dearing was somebody who could sprint a marathon in heels.
According to Cinema Blend, Howard had considered the high-heel issue a frustrating one, as it appeared to get people's attention than her performance. The publication added that the actress felt that she had earned a badge of honor because she had actually done all the running in the film. In fact, it had become a concern during the production because Howard could have hurt herself while running in high heels.
Since its release on June 12, Trevorrow's "Jurassic World" has grossed an estimated total of $1.7 billion on a global scale. Aside from Howard and Pratt, it also starred Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinsons, Judy Greer, Omar Sy, Vincent D'Onofrio, Irrfan Khan, and BD Wong, among others.
Trevorrow previously revealed that "Jurassic World 2" would not be about bigger and better dinosaurs, as fans saw in its predecessor. The filmmaker emphasized that the "Jurassic World" sequel will rise as a foundation on a much larger story about the relationship between man and the dinosaurs.
"Jurassic World 2" will be based on a line cited by Dr. Alan Grant, who was played by Sam Niell in Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" in 1993. "Dinosaurs and man, separated by 65 million years of evolution have been thrown back into the mix together. How can we know what to expect?," Grant said in Spielberg's film.
With "Jurassic World 2" in its early stage of development, exact details on the plot, characters, and cast are yet to be revealed.
"Jurassic World 2" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on June 22, 2018.
