The cast held a media day to promote this movie on Oahu, less than 200 miles (161 kilometers) from Hawaii's Big Island, where lava from Kilauea had destroyed more than 600 houses since early May. In Guatemala, at least 110 people were killed when a volcano erupted on June 3, sending waves of super-heated debris onto villages in its flanks. Writer and producer Colin Trevorrow said the timing of the movie's release was not something for which they could have planned. "Obviously not something that was anticipated in any way," Trevorrow said at Oahu's Kualoa Ranch, where some of the movie was filmed. "And if anything, I think it just is a reminder of the unrelenting power of planet Earth, and how just dwarfed we are by that." Bryce Dallas Howard said she is uncertain how volcano-affected people might receive the fictional depiction of spewing molten rock that dominates the first part of this movie. "I really don't know," she said. "I mean, it's intense what's happening, and a natural disaster is one of those things that kind of, those moments I think bring everyone together because that's not a political act, you know, it's something where we are all vulnerable to the power of this planet." Though the scenes of molten rock exploding from the volcano in this movie smack of Hollywood dramatization, Trevorrow said the "Jurassic" team worked diligently to create realistic imagery. "We had volcanologists as consultants, and we watched a lot of film and a lot of video of various kinds of volcanoes and how they erupted, and we made sure that we timed it out very carefully and presented it in a way that had clear visceral, visual imagery. Those cracks in the Earth that formed, that we've all been seeing, you know, on CNN, the speed of lava flow," Trevorrow said. "Some of the computer-generated characteristics of lava in the film mirror what is actually happening in Hawaii and Guatemala," Trevorrow added. "It was interesting for me to watch, you know, with the speed of the Kilauea lava flow that started off so slowly and grew faster and faster to the point where it was as fast as our lava," he said. Justice Smith, said this movie's release timing is an "unfortunate coincidence" and that his "heart goes out to the people that are suffering over there." Daniella Pineda, another emerging actress that plays a central role in the new movie, expects people who have had to endure the deadly and destructive volcanoes in Guatemala stated "I think it will definitely evoke emotion," Pineda said. "I know I felt that way because of all the recent volcanoes and the timing of that in our fictionalized world. Yes, it was just a pure coincidence. It's just very unfortunate." Director J.A. Bayona was hesitant to draw parallels between fantasy and real-world disasters. "In this case, I think it's a movie to have fun," Bayona said. "Of course, it's terrible what's going on right now Guatemala or in Hawaii, but I don't see the connection in there. Bayona also oversaw the making of The Impossible (2012), which was based on the true story of a tsunami in Thailand. Of that movie, he said, "you feel the responsibility of telling a true story." Longtime Jurassic actor Jeff Goldblum echoed the sentiments of the rest of the cast. "It's coincidental because of course they didn't know," Goldblum said. "I'm just concerned about, you know, the effects of it and the impact, and hope everybody's okay and makes it out okay."
