LOS ANGELES — Midway through an aside about her grandparents' traveling vaudeville days, Bryce Dallas Howard's eyes light up. A scoop of gelato has arrived during a break in a jet-setting press tour: "Sustenance!" she exclaims. Alas, it is more than she bargained for. Now an array of way too much ice cream sits before her, destined for a melty fate.

Finding new dimensions in her once high-strung former theme park exec, Howard brings Claire full circle as she wrestles with her responsibility to the world, to dino-kind and to the ones she loves most: her raptor trainer beau Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and cloned youngster
