“The Bubble” may have been partially inspired by the struggles of filming “Jurassic World: Dominion,” but Karen Gillan didn’t actually ask Chris Pratt for any firsthand accounts from his time on set while they were filming. She wishes she would have, though.The comedy, starring Gillan and a whole slew of other famous faces, tells the story of a group of actors trying to film “Cliff Beasts 6” at the height of the COVID pandemic. Of course, because of that, their production starts up and shuts down multiple times, trapping the cast in London for months.
At no point are “Jurassic World” or its stars ever directly mentioned, but the parallels are there. According to Gillan, her “Guardians of the Galaxy” co-star Chris Pratt actually realized the basis of the film while in conversation with her, and she realized asking him for more insights could have been beneficial.“As Chris pieced it together, like, ‘Oh, wait a minute, is this based on our experience on ‘Jurassic World?’ I was like, ‘I should have hit you up for more anecdotes, advice and stuff I could play around with,'” Gillan told TheWrap. “I should have done that.
That would have been good.”And though the “Jurassic” undertones are there, “The Bubble” is about the struggles Hollywood faced as a whole during the pandemic. For Gillan, the hope is just that those who watch it on Netflix just go into it for a good time.“I just hope that people have a little kind of moment of levity in these strange times,” she noted. “Just, I want people to have fun, forget their cares and worries and just have a laugh.
And that’s it. Just simply that. Just some fun.”You can read TheWrap’s full conversation with Karen Gillan below.How was this movie pitched to you? Did Judd Apatow come at

her new Netflix comedy “The Bubble.” That’s not to say she hasn’t improvised with Nebula in the past. In fact, one line in particular that fans latched onto from “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” was when Nebula violently spits out a bite of a Yaro Root and calmly says “It’s not ripe” — and that was improvised.
“The Bubble” is not based on the challenging production of “Jurassic World: Dominion” – even though his movie is about a group of actors coming together to make a sequel to a blockbuster franchise about dinosaur-like beasts in London. “It really isn’t based on it at all, other than it seemed fun to do comedic dinosaurs,” Apatow told TheWrap in a recent interview.And yet, when he showed “Jurassic World: Dominion” star Laura Dern his comedy he was relieved that she found it funny.

The Bubble is not funny. There are jokes. Some of them even land.
