After A Quiet Place, John Krasinski directed a movie again for his wife to star in, but this time it was a cute animated movie for the whole family instead of the horror title that helped the couple become famous.
Known as Hollywood’s golden couple, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt have built a remarkable career for themselves while maintaining a happy and lasting marriage for the past 16 years.
After the success of the movie A Quiet Place , the two are about to reunite in a new project titled Imaginary Friends .
John Krasinski will not only be the director but also the main actor in this film, while Emily Blunt will take on the role of voice of an animated character.
John Krasinski and Emily Blunt fell in love at first sight
Since their first meeting in 2008, love has blossomed between John Krasinski – then known for the comedy series The Office – and The Devil Wears Prada star Emily Blunt. Two years later, they married in a romantic ceremony at George Clooney’s mansion in Lake Como, Italy. Over the years, two of Hollywood’s top celebrities have supported each other in their careers and at the same time protected their family life, keeping it warm and private.
In 2018, the couple took their partnership to a new professional level when they worked on A Quiet Place , a horror fantasy film project directed by Krasinski. They carried out the project with a beginner’s mindset.
“Many people told me that after filming this movie, we would divorce. Looks like we’re even closer,” Emily Blunt once humorously shared. “I think discovering how we collaborate and can create something together is really special.”
Since their first collaboration, the couple has been successful with A Quiet Place
The film A Quiet Place achieved great commercial success and received praise from critics.
Blunt’s acting with the support of her husband and colleague delivered one of the most impressive works of her career. It’s hard to forget the detail of Evelyn Abbott giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 right in a room with monsters, or the scene where John Krasinski’s husband Lee Abbott sacrificed himself to protect his family.
The film shows the chemistry of the two stars not only in acting but in creative vision in general. In particular, Krasinski gave his wife absolute trust and she contributed many ideas to enhance the work.
Receiving a series of award nominations, A Quiet Place brought John Krasinski the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and Emily Blunt a Screen Actors Guild Awards in the Outstanding Supporting Actress category. The film was voted by the American Film Institute as one of the 10 films of 2018. Following the success of A Quiet Place , the second part of the film released in 2020 had a significant impact on the careers of John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, as well as cemented their status in Hollywood as a power couple capable of delivering both commercially successful and critically acclaimed films.
After leaving the role of Lee Abbott to focus on his role as director and sequel writer, John Krasinski has solidified his reputation as a talented director capable of handling blockbuster projects under high pressure. His direction was widely praised for its innovative storytelling and ability to maintain suspense throughout from A Quiet Place to, which elevated his status from being primarily known as How as a comedian to be recognized as a s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed director.
Part 2 of A Quiet Place is also an opportunity for Emily Blunt to shine when playing a brave mother who takes on the responsibility of protecting the whole family after her husband passes away. The success of the film franchise once again affirms the couple’s power not only as actors but more importantly as directors and producers.
Let’s make a movie together for… your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to watch
Netizens often complain about receiving “salary” from the national couple. Whether it’s an interview or a press conference event, press lenses often catch sweet moments between John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. It could be the loving and admiring look of the husband watching his wife shine on the Oscars red carpet, or the humorous family stories they share, revealing small slices of their cozy life after stage glory. Emily Blunt said her recent role in The Fall Guy, where she plays an aspiring director, was inspired by her husband.
In 2024, Hollywood’s power couple will reunite on screen in Imaginary Friends – a lovely animated work.
The film follows Bea (played by Cailey Fleming), a young girl who goes through traumatic experiences and develops special powers, allowing her to see other people’s imaginary friends. These magical creatures were left behind when their human friends grew up and forgot their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood memories.
Bea, along with her neighbor uncle (played by Ryan Reynolds), who also possesses similar powers, is determined to find a way to reunite the IFs with their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood friends.
In the movie, John Krasinski not only directed but also played Bea’s father, while Emily Blunt voiced Unicorn – an IF in the shape of a unicorn.
Imaginary Friends was inspired by the imagination of Krasinski’s two daughters, when he wanted to create a film for two little princesses, honoring 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s colorful creativity and reawakening the pure emotions of adult audiences.
Once again, viewers, especially fans of this couple, will see them collaborating on a movie project. This time it is not a thrilling movie like A Quiet Place , but instead a colorful and fun 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood adventure that promises to bring wonderful moments to everyone.
