UMAR Hussain - who is making a name for himself in the film industry - is returning to his Yorkshire roots for a special assignment.

The 25-year-old, who is originally from Calverley, is a Visual Effects Line Producer on the latest Jurassic World film: Fallen Kingdom due to be released on June 7.

Today Umar is due to attend the preview of Yorkshire's Jurassic World, to be officially opened by Sir David Attenborough, at the Yorkshire Museum, York.

Charlotte Kindesjo, head of communications and fundraising for York Museums Trust, said: “We are delighted that Umar is able to join us for the opening of Yorkshire’s Jurassic World. We are looking forward to showing him the internationally significant collections and new technology which is allowing visitors to experience in new ways the Jurassic worlds that existed right here in what we now call Yorkshire.

“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is set to be one of the blockbusters of the summer and it is bound to spark the interest in thousands of people wanting to know more about the dinosaurs and sea dragons that lived right here where they live today.”

Umar, whose previous work includes Star Wars: The Last Jedi as well as Peter Pan, Guardians of the Galaxy and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is due to attend the event with his father, Zulfi Hussain, a local businessman and founder of the Bradford charity Global Promise.

Yorkshire's Jurassic World opens tomorow (March 24) giving visitors the chance to see, among many things, virtual dinosaurs roaming across real dinosaur footprints; explore deep oceans where some of the museum;s famous fossilised sea dragons are brought to life through Augmented Reality; see baby ichthyosaurs "swim" off from a rare fossil of embryonic creatures found on the Yorkshire Coast and feed a sauropod lunch in a Virtual Reality experience showing how Yorkshire's largest dinosaur may have looked.
