Athlete-Starring Film Ads

Scottie Barnes Stars in a Jurassic Park-Themed Commercial

— April 20, 2022 — Marketing
ESPN and Toronto Raptors rookie sensation Scottie Barnes have teamed up with Universal Pictures to create a new Jurassic Park-themed movie trailer. Barnes has quickly made a name for himself around the National Basketball Association and continues to be a star off the court as well.

Barnes is featured alongside NBA analyst Richard Jefferson and Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in a 30-second dinosaur-themed commercial for the blockbuster film Jurassic World: Dominion. The Raptors formed their identity and logo in 1993 during the rise of the Jurassic Park franchise, so it only makes sense that one of the team's very best delivered this performance

The commercial couldn't have come at a better time as the Raptors take on the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs, with thousands of fans set to make their presence felt outside Scotia Bank Arena in what they call their very own ‘Jurassic Park.‘

Basketball fans and movie fanatics can expect the latest release in the Jurassic Park series in theaters on July 10.
