Laura Dern has recently leaked some information about a confrontation that occurred on JW:D's set.

She said that she and some other cast members witnessed a blow-up between Steve Brusatte, the main paleontological consultant, and Jack Horner.

It's surprising to know that Jack Horner was on set at all, because he was never listed to return to a consulting role in a Jurassic movie since World.

But to hear a blow-up between both paleontologists of different generations, one of which benefitted from the other's work, was a big issue.

From what Laura could piece together, Horner was going on about how the T.rex should not display any hunting behaviour at all in the movie, while Brusatte called him out for being an idiot. Colin Trevorrow had to shout down both of them.

Look, I'm fine for fierce scientific rivalries. They're important to analyze (ex. Vygotsky vs Piaget, Pavlov vs Skinner, Bakker vs Horner). But to have representatives of each side getting so angry at each other in front of other people, who are only doing their acting jobs, is disturbing (especially since Horner's creative bias against T.rex's film representation wasn't separated from paleontological evidence).

Anyways, Laura broke it down in this video, expressing dismay at the improper conduct by both paleontologists.
