You already know Bryce Dallas Howard from movies such as The Village and Spider-Man 3, and because she's the daughter of Ron Howard, the big-time movie producer and director and star of Happy Days. Howard isn't necessarily the most obvious choice for "leading lady in Jurassic World," but we're totally happy to have her positioned in such a role - she's a very talented and highly likeable actress. So, what of her part? Well, information is thin on the ground at the moment, but from what we can tell, Howard will play some kind of scientist-type named Claire, who will presumably find herself clashing with Chris Pratt's Owen when he tells her that there's something wrong with the velociraptors. And then something bad happens, and dinosaurs escape, and those two end up kissing (probably). Hollywood.
