Bryce Dallas Howard, one of the stars of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, has said that she wanted to make sure her character wore heels in the movie.
For those that remember the massively successful Jurassic World, Bryce Dallas Howard’s character Claire was in the unfortunate position of being caught in heels during the park’s downfall – a situation that has since stirred plenty of very important conversation online.
And while Claire is sure to rectify her mistakes next time around, Howard has revealed that after reading the script she wanted to make a push for the character to wear a pair of heels at certain points in the movie.
Speaking to the Radio Times, she said: “I just circled that when I was reading it and I was like ‘No…no it’s an office, Claire would wear heels.’ And then it was like another scene where I’m like ‘hmm, well Claire’s kind of like…she’s going to wear heels in this scene also.’”
While Howard says that Claire will learn her lesson and adopt some boots at some point, wearing heels was still important to the character: “It’s a part of the character and kind of a metaphor for her journey. It was a crucial part of her characterization going into the new movie.”
Whether or not Claire wears heels or not surely won’t be the most important plot point of Jurassic World 2 but hopefully, she will be a bit nimbler when fleeing from a t-rex if she changes out of them for the action sequences.
