Ina video posted to her Instagramfrom the event, Dern said, “Hi everybody! We’re here at our premiere for the nextJurassic World. We’re so excited — we can’t wait for you to see it. I’m here with all my buddies, waiting for a couple more. And I include dinosaurs, so it’s a little terrifying.”
“You never know what’s gonna happen. Oh look, they even have foliage. I mean, what’s aJurassicpremiere without some ferns and dinosaurs?” she added with a laugh.
