Stars of the Jurassic Park franchise, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill, have each revealed their favorite dinosaurs from the movies they starred in. Dern and Goldblum both expressed a fondness for the Triceratops, citing its soulful eyes and realistic puppetry on set as reasons for their admiration. Neill, on the other hand, favored the more deadly chicken-like dinosaurs that appeared in the films.
The Jurassic Park franchise, which initially seemed to conclude with Jurassic Park III in 2001, was revitalized with the successful reboot Jurassic World in 2015. The subsequent movies proved the enduring popularity of the franchise, leading to the announcement of Jurassic World 4, set for release on July 2, 2025.
