Scarlett Johansson says it was "brutal" filming 'Jurassic World Rebirth' in the scorching heat of Malta.

The 40-year-old star plays the role of Zora Bennett in the latest movie in the 'Jurassic Park' franchise and admits that it was very difficult shooting watery scenes at the height of the Mediterranean summer.

Scarlett told Empire magazine: "There was no escape from the sun.

"It was just baking every day. And you're on this rig, 30 feet in the air or whatever it is, and it's moving up and down and sideways, and there's all this water being shot out of these cannons towards you. It was brutal.

"To do it one day would be hard. But to do it continuously for, like, six weeks or whatever..."

The movie's director Gareth Edwards admits that he did feel sympathy for his cast as they made the flick in gruelling conditions.

The 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' filmmaker recalled: "At the end of each day, I'd try and reassure them that tomorrow was going to be easier because of this reason.

"And then the next day would be even harder for either precisely the same reason, or a brand-new other reason. After a while, they just stopped believing me."
