Omar Sy's role in Jurassic World revealed!
In an interview with the French website Premiere, director Colin Trevorrow revealed information about Omar Sy's character in Jurassic World, and talked about his relationship with the Velociraptors.
Colin has previously spoken about Chris Pratt's and Omar Sy's friendship in the movie but up until now there has been a lack of information on him and what his role in the film is.
"I wrote the role especially for Omar, I'm a huge fan, I spent a lot of time in France, my wife is French. He has a bigger role than you think - he works for Chris Pratt and is also a Raptor tamer. When Chris, who's in charge, is done with training the Velociraptors, Omar brings them to their cage and takes care of them, checking their teeth, these kind of things. He has a very special relationship with them. There's a great scene with Vincent D'Onofrio when Omar speaks French to the Raptors and Vincent pretends to understand what he's saying. I have not tried to Americanize him - he is French and has a great action scene. Everything he does results in a close relationship with the Velociraptors."
So there we have it, Omar Sy actually plays quite an important role in the film and is close to the lead character Owen, played by Chris Pratt. Colin had a lot of positive things to say about Omar Sy as an actor.
"He is so cool, we used his aura and his acting skills. It's not a common role: anyone could have played Bishop in X-Men: Days of Futures Past. I think they wasted his amazing personality."
And the final important question that they asked: Does Omar Sy's character die in the film?
"Ah ah no! Everybody expects him to die. I think you'll like what we've planned for him. No one wants to see Omar die."
It's great that we are hearing more about the other characters in the upcoming film and it's refreshing to hear that Colin has really gone in-depth with all his characters and uses an actor's personality to better the role
