I normally enjoy playing characters who are very dissimilar to me. Despite this bleak premise for a universe, the lens through which we view this world is deeply personal, small, and intimate.Įmily Blunt: “That is the word I ended up gravitating towards for this film, because it was so intimate.

Unless you’ve seen his newest film A QUIET PLACE. When one thinks of great horror directors, the name “John Krasinski” may not come to mind.
