Because it's Ian Malcolm, also known as Jeff Goldblum.

Yeah.

Life finds a way.

This is the kind of idea that someone might have and go, wouldn't that be cool? But Crichton actually wrote a book about it, and he did the deep research, and he made it seem real.

And his themes, and I think using the character of Ian Malcolm as a bit of a cipher for himself maybe, um, you know, in talking about scientific ethics and capitalism and, you know, a lot of the language, I don't know if it struck you guys too, but there were quite a few passages talking about biotechnology at the end of the eighties and the early nineties and how it was going to change the world.

And it was this dangerous new thing.

And it was the, the, And it struck me that we're having those same conversations about AI with very similar language right now.

It's lovely.

Nature finds a way, Ian Malcolm.

Nature finds a way.

No, but especially if you're traveling here, you know, it's nice that you really don't have to worry about those pop-ups absolutely soaking you.

You know, he's in the movie from the beginning, more or less, but he's just kind of like going through briefings and saying a few things.

foreshadowing with the sea.

It was really clever to have Spielberg or his editor show Ian Malcolm laugh, kind of chuckle in a sort of like amused way when Grant ties the two female parts together and makes it work.
