As the world still struggles to survive as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread movie production is starting up again and the production of Jurassic World: Dominion seems to be setting the safety standard.
The New York Times has a fascinating article going into depth about what precautions and safety measures are in place to make sure that all cast and crew remain healthy and safe.
The film is being made in England who are much further ahead in controlling the virus.
Only those that are need during filming are allowed on set and all cast and crew are tested 3 times a week.
In case there is any doubt there is apparently a 107 page safety manual that each member of the production crew must abide by.
America is still struggling to keep the virus under control and the film could not be made on a sound stage in Hollywood as California is one of the states with the highest cases.
In the words of star Bryce Dallas Howard "We are the guinea pigs who are going to take the leap."
�Jurassic World: Dominion� is one of the first major Hollywood studio films to restart production since the coronavirus pandemic. �We are the guinea pigs who are going to take the leap.� https://t.co/HnQadjLs4B

Another slow week at the UK box office because of the fantastic weather in the UK, it results in small box office takings with Monsters University retaining it place at the top.
10 days into the release the animated feature gets a second weekend as the number one film in Britain, Monsters University takes £2.7 million over the weekend which pushes it's total UK gross to £8.6 million.
Highest new movie of the weekend is The Worlds End, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost go on a bender to The World End pub, the ultimate goal.
The movie is directed by Edgar Wright and completes the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy" which started with Sean of the Dead with Hot Fuzz following.
The movie took £2.1 million at the box office, much lower than was expected for a much anticipated film, but like last weekend the weather has clearly kept people outside.
As expected it didn't take the top spot from Monsters University, it was actually off by nearly over half a million pound, although with the summer holidays upon us next week it could be a different different story this coming weekend.
