EXCLUSIVE: Fans of The Office look to be getting a long awaited reunion as Steve Carell is set to join former Office cohort John Krasinski in the Quiet Place helmer’s next directing gig IF at Paramount Pictures. Alan Kim, Cailey Fleming and Louis Gossett Jr. are also on board, joining Ryan Reynolds and Krasinski, who will star in the pic. Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fiona Shaw are also on board.
Details are being kept under wraps, but the story is based on an original idea of Krasinski’s, about a child’s journey to rediscover their imagination. Krasinski will direct, write and produce the original film via his company, Sunday Night, with partners Allyson Seeger and Andrew Form producing. Reynolds will also produce via his company, Maximum Effort. George Dewey will executive produce.
The film is set to bow on Nov. 17, 2023. Both Sunday Night and Maximum Effort both recently signed first look deals with the studio with this film being spotlighted in the Sunday Night announcement as something the studio, Krasinski and Reynolds all have been high for some time.
For Carell and Krasinski, this marks the first project the two have worked on since their days on the hit NBC series The Office, which ended in 2013. The two former employees of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company earned great success on the series that put Krasinski on the map and turned Carell into an even bigger star then he already he was. Besides this pic, Carell also has season two of the Netflix series Space Force launching early this year and is about to go into production soon on the FX limited Series The Patient. He also has Despicable Me: Rise Of Gru for Universal coming out Summer 2022.
