Regarding the break-up of Grant and Sattler, actor Sam Neill said that his character was so "anti-child in the first film she needed someone else". Neill liked how the script handled their break-up, with the two remaining close friends.
Jurassic World: Dominion gives fans what they want too, as Ellie is divorced, which leads to Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler rekindling their relationship, and they go on to live happily ever after together.
Crichton was initially hesitant to write a sequel book for Spielberg to develop a movie around, and the early discussions between them and writer David Koepp didn't include Alan or Ellie returning.
What was the age difference between Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant?
Dern was 23 when she first played Dr. Ellie Sattler and Neill was about 44 when he first starred as Dr. Alan Grant. "I am 20 years older than Laura!" Neill said, adding, "Which at the time was a completely appropriate age difference for a leading man and lady!"
Director Joe Johnston chose to break-up Grant and Sattler, believing that Dern looked too young to be in such a relationship; Neill is 20 years older than Dern. Dern and Neill would return again for major roles in Jurassic World Dominion, released in 2022.
Mark Degler was Ellie Degler's husband during the events of the Jurassic Park III. It is unknown when his relationship with Ellie started, but in 1998 their first child Charlie was born.
In Jurassic Park III, Grant and Ellie are shown to have ended their relationship some time after the first film, although they remain close friends. Ellie has a minor role, and is now married to Mark, an employee of the U.S. State Department.
Grant was described as “a ragged-looking guy” who is in his “mid-thirties.” If mid-thirties is taken to mean between 34 and 36, then he was born sometime between the years 1957 and 1959. The upcoming film takes place in 2022. Therefore, Dr. Grant is between 63 and 65 years old in Jurassic World 3.
While the decision to have Alan and Ellie split up was criticized, it actually made a lot of sense. Ellie clearly adored children while Alan hated them, and while he might have warmed to Tim and Lex, it's unlikely that two teenagers would have drastically changed his mind on the matter.
Alan Grant, who was discovered to have been living on one of InGen's islands. However, this was scrapped as director Joe Johnston said he "couldn't imagine this guy wanting to get back on any island that had dinosaurs in it after the first movie."
It's also possible that Ian and his ex-wife adopted her, his ex-wife is black and Kelly is her daughter and Malcolm is her step-father. Though the dialogue suggests that Kelly considers Ian her actual father, so it's possible that Kelly is his biological daughter, but shares the physical traits of her mother.
Ariana Clarice Richards (born September 11, 1979) is an American painter and former actress. She is best known for her role as Lex Murphy in the blockbuster film Jurassic Park. Richards won several Young Artist Awards for her acting as a child, but as an adult has focused primarily on her art career.
No one knows that better than Jack Horner, a Montana State University paleontologist who served as science adviser to the original movie and some of the subsequent ones — and who was the inspiration for Dr. Alan Grant, the fictional paleontologist portrayed by actor Sam Neill in the first movies.
It is unclear why Grant takes on this role. His wife died years ago, so perhaps he regrets the fact that he does not have any children of his own. Most of his research involves the study of baby dinosaurs, the closest thing to children he has ever had.
It's been confirmed by Neil Druckmann, his co-workers and the animator of the scene himself that Ellie and Riley were in love with each other and that the kiss was romantic, and it doesn't get much more canon than that.
When I did interviews with Faith for the comic book, and we both made the mistake when we were describing Ellie and Riley for the first time – we said Ellie was attracted to Riley. We meant, I think, that she was just really drawn to her, that she really looked up to her.
The main events of The Last of Us pick up in 2033, 20 years later, meaning that Joel is 52 when he and Ellie traverse the ruins of America to reach Salt Lake City. The Last of Us: Part 2 picks up roughly five years after the first game, so Joel was likely around 57 at the time of his death.
He tells Grant he wants him and Sattler to come to his new island where he's built a preserve. Alan doesn't want to go, but Hammond offers them each $60,000 to come, so they agree. Grant gets plans for the island in the mail. He thinks it looks more like a zoo than a preserve.
The next time Sattler appears in the franchise is in Jurassic Park III (2001). She is a mother to two small children, married to a man named Mark, and very much embodying the heteronormative nuclear family idealized in the first film.
