John Krasinski’s recent film, IF, has taken the internet by storm. The film has had fans extremely excited ever since its trailer was released, not only because of its excellent premise but also because of the cast it collected. On top of the director himself, the project stars Ryan Reynolds, Emily Blunt, Steve Carell, and even Brad Pitt. While these aspects are certainly attractive, there is a lot more that comes with making a movie.
John Krasinski Is Most Nervous About His Children Seeing IF
John Krasinski recently gave an interview with Collider where he talked about his thought processes during the final stages of production for IF. He was specifically asked if he was more nervous about the studio to see the finished product of his film, or his children.
My kids haven’t seen it yet. They’re seeing it either tonight or tomorrow, and it is going to be, without a doubt, the most scared I’ve ever been to show anyone anything in my life, ever.
The kids are the ones that I’m most looking forward to their review.
John Krasinski Had His Kids’ Help
John Krasinski has famously only dabbled in horror and action, so moving to children’s films was a big change. When he was making IF, it is safe to say he had a lot of guidance for a lot of different people. However, it would seem that the ones he gave the most heed to were his children.
This was very exciting to bring them in from the very beginning. So I pitched them the idea, the terrible drawings I was doing. I would show them, and they would get involved.
Over time, the faint vision turned into an entire film, and his children got a front seat to the entire process. With this, he was very excited for them to see the very final product and give him their seal of approval.
The actor mentioned that a lot of decisions about the specificities of the movie were taken by them, and he would not have it any other way.
IF is now in theaters.
