In case you hadn’t heard, Chris Pratt will star in Jurassic World, the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park franchise, which is set to hit theaters next summer. That news has led to this clip – taken from the behind-the-scenes footage from season two of NBC’s ‘Parks & Recreation’ – making the rounds on the Internet. In it, Pratt jokes about receiving texts (and gift baskets!) from Steven Spielberg trying to convince him to be in ‘Jurrasic Park 4.’
Considering that the clip is five years old (Jurassic World wasn’t confirmed until early 2013) and Pratt hadn’t yet reached his A-List actor status yet, it’s more than likely that he was just joking around about involvement in the film. I was already excited about his casting, now I’m convinced it was fate.
For those interested, here’s a first look at Pratt’s character as a park keeper in the film.
