    Chris Pratt Offers Roles in New 'Jurassic' Movie for Coronavirus Charity

    Universal Pictures

    Fans are given the chance to be eaten by a dinosaur in the upcoming ‘Jurassic World’ movie in exchange for donations to Covid-19 relief efforts amid the ongoing pandemic.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chris Pratt is offering two lucky movie fans the chance to be eaten by a dinosaur in the next “Jurassic World” film.
    The Hollywood star is the latest celebrity to take part in the All-In Challenge project, for which stars offer amazing prizes in exchange for donations to coronavirus relief efforts.
    After being challenged to take part by Justin Bieber, Chris went the extra mile and offered two “recognisable” roles as a dinosaur’s lunch in the upcoming “Jurassic World: Dominion”.
    The “Parks and Recreation” star said in a video that it had taken him two weeks “pulling all the strings necessary” to convince studio Universal Pictures chiefs to agree to the challenge.
    He added, “You are guaranteed to be recognisable, not cut out the movie, absolutely in the movie forever, cemented, your legacy, forever, eaten by a dinosaur in a movie.”
    However, a listing on the All-In Challenge website states there is no guarantee, “that such appearance will be included in the final production or that the production will be released at all.”
    There are two chances on offer, one via sweepstake costing $10 to enter and another going to the highest bidder.
    All money raised will go to charities Meals On Wheels, No Kid Hungry, and America’s Food Fund, helping to provide meals to those going hungry during the Covid-19 pandemic.
    After announcing the prize, Chris then challenged three of his “Avengers: Endgame” co-stars, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Robert Downey Jr. to take part and offer their own rewards to donors.

    Mar 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Universal Pictures has suspended production on “Jurassic World: Dominion” as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
    The movie has been filming in London since February, but work on the flick, along with other Universal projects including Flint Strong and the untitled Billy Eichner project, went on hiatus on Friday, March 13.
    A representative for the studio announced the decision was made “for the safety of all involved to delay the shoot indefinitely”. It’s unknown if the delay will impact the original release date of June, 2021.
    Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be returning for the movie, along with franchise original stars Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill.
    Meanwhile, Ben Affleck’s upcoming action thriller “Hypnotic” was scheduled to start filming in Los Angeles at the end of April, but sources told TMZ they’ve already made the decision to pause plans.
    A representative said: “We will be taking a temporary hiatus to take necessary precautions to ensure the health of our cast and crew.”
    Disney bosses have also halted production on movies including reboots of “The Little Mermaid”, “Peter Pan”, “Home Alone”, and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” until the coronavirus chaos blows over.
    “We have made the decision to pause production on some of our live-action films for a short time,” announced a Disney representative in a statement on Friday.
    TV shows including “Supernatural” have also been affected, with NBCUniversal halting the shoots of 35 shows to help contain the virus.
    The outbreak of Covid-19 has seen more than 145,000 cases of the illness registered, resulting in more than 5,400 deaths since it began in December.
