How John Krasinski’s newfound love for horror led to defying expectations with ‘A Quiet Place’

LA Times  

When John Krasinski took to the stage after the world premiere of his movie “A Quiet Place” last month at the South by Southwest Film Festival, he seemed startled and surprised not only by the intensity of the audience’s response but also, perhaps, even by the movie itself. “I mean, I saw ‘The Hollars’ and there is no way I’d have ever thought, ‘Let’s go to John Krasinski and have him direct this movie,’” Fuller said. “And for John, this is all about those characters, so it’s the family dynamic first, those people first, and then the scares.” Review: Shut up and spread the word: ‘A Quiet Place’ is a thrillingly intelligent monster movie » Krasinski and Blunt are married in real life, having had their second child together just before Krasinski was first handed the “A Quiet Place” script. In bringing together the movie’s onscreen family, Fuller and Form never brought up the idea of casting Blunt, so it was another surprise when their director told them he wanted as their lead the actress who had played formidable women in movies such as “Edge of Tomorrow,” “Looper” and “Sicario” and will be seen later this year in “Mary Poppins Returns.” “Really when I started writing, she was the only person I had in mind,” Krasinski said. “So we could just bring an authenticity to this family that actually, in many ways as much as we had run away from the fact that we didn’t want to work together, I think the fact that we’re married lent itself to this particular film.” Another sign of Krasinski’s unusual commitment to the project is the fact that for some scenes he actually played one of the movie’s creatures on set, putting on a motion-capture suit for the effects team to work from in post-production.
