Jurassic World: Dominion will begin filming in Malta in late August. 

The multi-million production will include Valletta, Vittoriosa, Mellieħa and Pembroke.

“The Malta Film Commission is expecting 9 international productions during this year. Starting with Jurassic World: Dominion, other multi-million projects will follow with huge investment in our economy, creating more jobs to anyone working in the film industry in Malta,” said Minister for Tourism Julia Farrugia Portelli.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, strict health and safety measures are already being put in place including testing units on-site where 5,000 swabs will be carried out.

More than 1,000 local and foreign crew members are expected to work on the blockbuster film which equates to roughly three swab tests per employee.

In addition, a series of health protocols and safety measures will be put in place in coordination with the health authorities, Lovin Malta has been informed.

Jurassic World: Dominion marks the third chapter in the franchise and will feature Pratt and Dallas Howard along with the film’s original cast Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum amongst many others.

“As Film Commission, we’ve been working hard to attract the Universal Pictures blockbuster since April 2019. Our recently-introduced incentives, the 40% cash-back for productions, serves as a key incentive to studios & film-makers to consider Malta for film and TV productions” said Film Commissioner Johann Grech.

It is also being rumoured that in the film Malta will feature as itself and not a stand-in for another country, which is a rare nod to the island in the film world.
