John Krasinski AKA Jim from
The Office isn't just a goofy funnyman, he's also a renowned director and his new film
A Quiet Place is getting rave reviews and has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
John Krasinski and his real-life wife Emily Blunt star in the film as a mum and dad trying to look after their kids in a post-apocalyptic world. There are monsters taking over the planet and they use sound and vibrations to hunt their prey. As a result, John, Emily and his kids must use sign language to communicate and walk on white sand to ensure they don't make any sudden noises. But shit really hits the fan when their son turns on a toy airplane. Check out the trailer:
FUCK. The part where she's in labour and has to stay quiet. That really made my eyes water. While John and Emily are married in real life, he said he didn't want that to be the focus of the movie. He said that the prime attention for the project is on two parents trying to keep their kids alive. He swent on to say:
Quote:We'd just had our second daughter and, you know, I'm a super sensitive, emotional person, so I think I was probably wide-open when I read the script.
The idea really triggered something inside me about protection and parenting, and I just thought maybe I could make it a metaphor for parenthood: the fact that no matter what, there will come a time when you don't have control over what your kids do, what they say, what they think, and you just hope that the preparation was enough to get them through and they survive.
A Quiet Place will be released in the UK on 4th May.
