Jurassic World: Dominion stars Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum are making the most of their downtime between takes by performing songs together for fun.

The duo, who first starred together as Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm in 1993’s Jurassic Park, are reuniting on screen for the sixth film in the Jurassic series currently in production at Pinewood Studios, just outside of London.

The entire cast and crew are holed up together in a swanky hotel as a coronavirus precaution for the duration of the shoot, giving the pair – who haven’t starred in a movie together since the Steven Spielberg original 27 years ago – plenty of time to catch up.

And one way they’ve found to unwind, as a video shared on Twitter by Neill shows, is by jamming together at the hotel’s piano. Watch it below.

Goldblum, a talented pianist and leader of the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, is tinkling the ivories while singing a duet of ‘I Remember You’ with Neill.

The song hails from the 1942 musical The Fleet’s Inn, a cover of which by Australian singer Frank Ifield, topped the UK charts in 1962.

The pair will be joined by the Jurassic Park co-star Laura Dern for 2021’s Jurassic World: Dominion, directed by Colin Trevorrow, which also stars Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.

In February this year, Pratt – who plays dino-trainer Owen Grady – told Ellen DeGeneres that Dominion would be the Avengers: Endgame of Jurassic movies.

"It's got everybody," Chris explained. "It's got pretty much everybody in it.

"Maybe I just blew it, but I don't care. All the cast from the original Jurassic Park is coming back. It's going to feel very much like how Endgame brought everything together for Marvel."

"It's a massive movie, it's a big movie. We'll be all over the world," he added. "The story is really, really engaging, really cool. It's gonna be big."

Jurassic World: Dominion, the third in the franchise reboot, is scheduled for release in June 2021.
