John Krasinski recently appeared on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ to discuss his upcoming film, ‘IF,’ and the star-studded voice cast he managed to assemble for the project. Krasinski shared that getting major stars to sign onto the film was surprisingly easy, with many actors quickly saying yes due to their love for the concept of imagination and tapping into childhood nostalgia.
The film features an impressive lineup of voice talent, including Bradley Cooper as an ice cube from Philly living in Arizona, Blake Lively as a cat overcoming her fear of water by dressing like an octopus, and George Clooney as a spaceman still floating around from his character in ‘Gravity.’ Other notable names in the cast include Emily Blunt, Ryan Reynolds, Steve Carrell, and more.
Krasinski revealed that the idea for ‘IF’ had been brewing for about 10 years but was finally written during the COVID-19 pandemic when he noticed his children’s diminishing interest in imaginative play. This inspired him to create a film that celebrates the magic of childhood and the power of imagination.
‘IF’ is set to hit theaters on May 17, promising a whimsical and heartwarming adventure for audiences of all ages. With a star-studded cast and a heartfelt message about the importance of holding onto childhood wonder, ‘IF’ is shaping up to be a must-see film of the year.
