The main filming of the action film began in late February 2020. However, at the time of production, actors and staff had to stop filming due to the Covid-19 epidemic from March to June 2020.
The team had to deal with partial closure again for a few weeks in October 2020 when many team members and staff found out they were infected. After the delay, the recording ended in November 2020, after almost 100 days of recording. Now, let’s take a look at some places where dinosaurs work!
Valletta (Malta)
A large part of ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ was shot in and around Valletta, the small capital of Malta. In the squares where Owen tries to escape the dinosaurs being caught on a motorcycle, you can see a few local signs in the background; this includes St. Ursula Street, St. George’s Square, and St Anne Street. While the former two locations are in the capital, the latter is located in the fortified city of Floriana, just outside Valletta.
