Filming on the new “Jurassic World” movie at Pinewood Studios in the U.K. has been suspended for two weeks because of COVID-19 cases on set. Director Colin Trevorrow tweeted Wednesday that there were “a few” positive tests for the virus. A spokesperson for Universal Pictures said they were informed of the positive tests last night and that all tested negative this morning. “Those who initially tested positive are currently self-isolating, as are those who they have come into contact with.”On Tuesday, Universal said that the release of “Jurassic World: Dominion” was being delayed a year to June 2022. Last month the U.K. shoot on “ The Batman,” a Warner Bros. film, also halted production because of a positive case.
