It has been almost 11 years since the iconic prank pulled off by Jim Halpert in The Office series finale, reuniting Steve Carell's Michael Scott as the best man at Dwight Schrute's wedding. John Krasinski, who portrayed Jim for nine seasons, shared the screen with Carell for over seven years. Now, the duo is set to reunite in the upcoming animated film, IF, with Krasinski expressing emotional moments during their collaboration.
Krasinski revealed that working with Carell was not just fun but also deeply touching. Carell's heartfelt speech about his pride in Krasinski's filmmaking journey moved him to tears, showcasing the strong bond between the former co-stars.
In IF, Carell voices the lead character, Blue, an Imaginary Friend who plays a crucial role in saving all imaginary friends with the help of a young girl named Bea. Krasinski praised Carell's casting, highlighting his innate ability to embody the kindhearted and huggable nature of Blue.
The duo's chemistry from The Office resonates in their on-screen reunion, with Krasinski emphasizing Carell's exceptional talent and warmth. Their characters, Michael Scott and Jim Halpert, left a lasting impact on fans with heartfelt moments like Michael's emotional farewell in Season 7.
Krasinski, known for his success post-The Office, particularly in the horror genre with A Quiet Place, shared his motivation for creating a family-friendly film like IF. He aimed to produce a movie that his daughters could enjoy, contrasting with the intense nature of his previous works.
IF is set to premiere in theaters on May 17, promising a heartwarming and whimsical adventure brought to life by the reunion of two beloved actors from The Office.
