Krasinski may be known for playing good guys like Jim Halpert or Jack Ryan on camera, but behind the camera, he’s mostly stuck in horror, The first two A quiet place films. knowing that, Knowing Ryan ReynoldsSeeing the summer release date in prime time, you can’t help but thinkWTF is if? “
This question has been answered, and then some, at CinemaCon this weekAnd Where Krasinski gave the first look at the film. hPost description if Like his attempt to make something timeless like any. t. extra terrestrial or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
