While the United States is bored with Covid-19 and pretending it doesn’t exist, studios continue to implement safety measures before restarting productions.
Universal’s Jurassic World: Dominion is set to be the first major studio movie to re-start filming proper in the UK, Deadline first reported. Cameras are due to roll the second week of July (July 6) at Pinewood Studios, Universal confirmed.
“The filmmakers and studio top brass have pulled out all the stops to get the production back underway after it was halted by the pandemic in mid-March four weeks into a 20-week shoot. In recent days, production staff have been implementing rigorous safety protocols on-site and a two week pre-production period will begin next week.”
“The plan is for us to be shooting early-mid July,” a senior Universal production executive confirmed.
Adds the site: “Universal has been working with the UK’s British Film Council and U.S. unions to ensure the production meets required safety standards. But it is also going beyond those measures.
“The safety measures will include the commission of a private medical facility called Your Doctor to manage the entire production’s medical needs; Covid training for all cast and crew; on-site doctors, nurses and isolation booths; 150 hand sanitizer stations; nightly anti-viral ‘fogs’; more than 1,800 safety signs put up around Pinewood; and ‘Green Zones’ for shooting cast and crew. Masks will be obligatory other than for actors while performing.”
“Some of Dominion’s main cast, including Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, returned to the U.S. during the hiatus but will fly back to the UK shortly where they will need to carry out a two-week quarantine per new government regulations. Actors traveling from the U.S. will be tested prior to leaving the country, too.”

The cast includes familiar and new faces such as Jurassic Park‘s Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum.
