The fear from COVID-19 has taken its toll in the entertainment industry, with upcoming movie Jurassic World: Dominion resuming the shoot, but since many of the crew members got the virus, they had to make the adjustments, Daily Mail Online reported. 

Jurassic World: Dominion is among the most highly anticipated movies of this year, an upcoming sci-fi adventure directed by Colin Trevorrow. The screenplay is written with Emily Carmichael, based on the director's story and co-writer Derek Connolly. 

"For many of us, Dominion was already the biggest creative challenge of our lives, before the lockdown." Trevorrow said. "The shooting schedule really worked to our advantage - the first four weeks we put to film were mostly sequences with dinosaurs in them. So that allowed us to get a head start on VFX and workshop some of the newer elements without the pressure of a looming deadline."

Filming resumes

The NBA team is preparing for their next matches, as they landed in Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida, setting the bar for the sports and entertainment industry to get back to work despite the pandemic. The staff and filming team of Jurassic World have resumed production, but with roadblocks. 

It is their first meet after the coronavirus lockdown crippled the world. They had to make more changes with pre-production and post-production shoots in line with COVID-19. 

Jurassic World: Dominion is going to be the sequel expected to become a blockbuster. They are filming at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. However, with many of the film crew members testing positive for COVID-19, those who are well have the protect themselves, and they have to find more human resources likewise.

Are there cast members infected?

Apparently, none of the main cast, including Bryce Dalas Howard, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, Chris Pratt and Sam Neil have been infected but there are reportedly "several crew members" that acquired the virus. 

"This was the last thing anyone expected so soon. Everyone was excited about getting things back up and running on set but this has totally derailed that. There are millions and millions of pounds at stake here. Nobody wants more long delays," an insider said in the report.

"I'm confident our guidelines will keep us safe," the film director added. "The hard part will be constructing a creative environment within all the precautions. Once the cameras roll, we have to forget our world and live in the world of the movie. That may take some practice."

The other challenge is to convince the fans that everything will be great, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and that they can see the movie in great quality as they always do.
