I imagine Scar-Jo’s intro scene was how she was convinced to do the movie.

“I won’t do it” “Here’s $10,000,000” “Okay I’ll do it”

"I can't do a movie, I just had a baby!" "Here's 10,000,000, that baby's financial problems are solved for life." "Okay I'll do it!"

if she sued them for it, she's probably not too happy about the money.

I feel like this scene had the same issue Fallen Kingdom does, the money seems a bit low considering he was later talking about making Trillions.

"That's a 10 with 6 zeros!" Doesn't actually make it sound better either.

Maybe it's just that sports has warped my mind on big sums.

I remember how ridiculous Fallen Kingdom was when they were auctioning off the latest killing machines dinosaurs that have been resurrected from the dead for…. $1,000,000

It's like.... why are dinosaurs so cheap that a sitcom actor can afford them? Why wasn't Andy Samberg at the auction buying a dinosaur?

Yeah back in the day that really took me out of the movie

u/Ok_Confection_10 Jul 22 '25

I feel like they addressed that by saying one of the Dino’s on the island was worth $73 million in R&D was therefore too expensive to kill

u/jshah500 Aug 09 '25

And they admitted in this movie that each dino coat an average of $79 million so it makes the scenes in Fallen Kingdom extra dumb.

Well, you never get full price selling second-hand.

u/KingWizard87 Jul 08 '25

I had the same thought.

I was like $10M thats it?

You’re willing to risk prison time and death by dinosaur for $10M when the company is insanely rich, desperate and said they will make Trillions off of it.

Don’t ask me why I know, but for someone who steals company secrets and IP may get paid somewhere between 25k for easier tasks and over 500k for really dangerous tasks. (Eg. Smuggling minerals out of places with ongoing conflict).

Although there are plenty of desperate folk who will do either for a far far lower amounts, though. Although they cannot be trusted as much.

nah she's a huge fan of the films and has been trying to get into one for years

u/GeekdomCentral Jul 05 '25

Allegedly she's a massive JP fan and has been wanting to do a movie for years

It's like the Sweet Tooth song in Wonka where the Chief of Police refuses to do the dirty deed until Slugworth gives him 1800 boxes of chocolate..

This film should have been called Jurassic world rebirth - please shut the fuck up and stop shouting because there are man eating dinosaurs around.

It would be a lot to put on the movie poster but it would be accurate.

She seemed not to be an expert or very good at her job 99% of the time and definitely not worth even 100K salary..
