'Jurassic World 2' Casts Toby Jones And Rafe Spall, Billy Crystal Gets 'Untogether'


With a movie like Jurassic World 2 we have to assume 90% of the cast will end up as scraps between a dinosaur's teeth. I think that goes double for new additions Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Rafe Spall (Prometheus),who join the returning (and unkillable) Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. J.A. Bayona is directing the sequel, working from a script co-written by prior director, Colin Trevorrow. Jurassic World 2 opens June 22nd 2018. [THR]

Billy Crystal and Dirty Dancing's Jennifer Grey have joined Untogether, the indie film marking the directorial debut of best-selling author Emma Forrest.  Jamie Dornan, Lola and Jemima Kirke, and Ben Mendelsohn were previously-cast in the film about the  "affair between Andrea (Jemima Kirke), a former teen prodigy turned heroin addict who is trying to be a writer now that she's sober, and Nick (Dornan), a writer who's found success with his memoir of wartime bravery, which sees him showered in wealth and women. Meanwhile, Andrea's little sister, Tara (Lola Kirke), finds her solid relationship with her older boyfriend, Martin (Mendelsohn), shaken when she is drawn to a charismatic rabbi with an even larger age gap."
