Sam Neill Welcomes Back an 'Old Friend' on the Set of Jurassic World 3

The man with the hat is back! OK, so it's not Indiana Jones but a different hat-wearing scientist-adventurer from a Steven Spielberg production. Actor Sam Neill posted a nostalgic photo to social media Tuesday from behind the scenes of Jurassic World: Dominion showing the hat of his character, Dr. Alan Grant. Neill captioned the photo, "Hello old friend" and tagged his co-stars, the filmmakers and the respective trilogies that this 2021 sequel unites.

Eagle-eyed fans, however, will recognize the hat not as the iconic palm leaf straw hat Grant wore in the original 1993 movie but rather the brown felt fedora Neill's paleontologist protagonist wore in Jurassic Park III. Directed and co-written by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Dominion unites the casts of the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park films, including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Neill.

Production on Jurassic World: Dominion recently resumed after shutting down in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Jurassic World: Dominion, which features the most animatronic dinosaurs of any film in the series, shifted its release date to June 11, 2021 due to production delays.
