Episode 8: John Krasinski, "A Quiet Place"

In this episode, Caroline sat down to chat with John Krasinski—the screenwriter, director, producer, and star of one of this year's most frightening features (and one of AFI's Top 10 Films of 2018), A QUIET PLACE. The film follows the Abbott family as they attempt to silently navigate a post-apocalyptic world plagued by ruthless monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing. It was released in April 2018 to widespread critical acclaim and quickly became a box office success. You probably know John Krasinski from his eight-year stint playing Jim Halpert in the NBC comedy THE OFFICE, or else from his more recent turn starring as the eponymous hero of Amazon Prime's JACK RYAN, but Krasinski has also made a name for himself behind the camera. He made his feature film screenwriting and directorial debut in 2009 with BRIEF INTERVIEWS WITH HIDEOUS MEN, based on the short story collection by David Foster Wallace, and he wrote the screenplay for the 2012 film PROMISED LAND, directed by Gus Van Sant. -- Read shownotes, transcripts, and other member interviews:www.onwriting.org-- Follow us on social media:Twitter: @OnWritingWGAE | @WGAEast Facebook: /WGAEast Instagram: @WGAEast
