Colin Treverrow, the director of the upcoming movie ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ has revealed that the shooting of the movie has been halted at least for the next 14 days, as some of the crew members were tested positive for coronavirus. The crew was busy shooting some crucial scenes of the movie at Pinewoods Studios in the United Kingdom for the past few weeks.
According to Treverrow, the infectious crew members were tested negative shortly after, but they have decided to halt the shooting for 14 days, to adhere to safety protocols.
“Woke up to the news we had a few positive Coronavirus tests on Jurassic World: Dominion. All tested negative shortly after, but due to our safety protocols, we’re going to pause for two weeks. Back soon,” wrote Treverrow on his Twitter page.
A Universal Pictures spokesman revealed that the prime concern of the company is the safety of the crew members, and made it clear that people who initially tested positive are now self-isolated. The production company also added that the release of Jurassic World: Dominion has been postponed to 2022.
Jurassic World: Dominion is one of those movies that resumed shooting amid the coronavirus pandemic. The shooting of the film starring Chris Pratt in the lead role was carried out following all necessary safety protocols.
Jurassic World: Dominion is not the only movie that has been delayed after crew members tested positive for coronavirus. Last month, the shooting of Batman was also postponed, as one of the crew members tested positive for coronavirus.
