Summer isn’t over yet but HBO and its streaming arm Max are already moving on to fall. With its list of new releases for August 2023, Max is focusing on football! The American kind, mind you, not the actually footy kind.
August 2023 sees the release of two major football documentaries on HBO and Max. The first is the premiere of Hard Knocks on Aug. 10. The new season of long-running NFL training camp docuseries will center on the New York Jets, new employers of legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers. On Aug. 23, Max will air the aptly named Bs High. The doc tells the stranger-than-fiction story of high school football team Bishop Sycamore, which pulled off one of the more notable sports scams you’re likely to ever hear about.
Not of the football variety but in keeping with the North American sports theme will be season 2 of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty on Aug.

Sam Heughan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Music Icon Celine Dion To Star In Romantic Drama For Screen Gems
Exclusive: Sam Heughan (Outlander) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico) are set to star in the Screen Gems romantic drama, tentatively titled Text For You, with music icon and five-time Grammy Award winner Celine Dion also joining the cast.

John Krasinski had an established and respectful indie filmmaking career, but it wasn’t until the Hitchock-ian horror, family drama, “A Quiet Place,” that his directorial career launched into the stratosphere. “A Quiet Place” was a massive worldwide hit and in doing so has spawned its own sequel and potential ongoing franchise.

Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski are teaming up for a comedy titled “Imaginary Friends,” for which Paramount Pictures is in negotiations.
Many other studios were part of a heavy bidding war for the feature; if the deal goes through, Krasinski will also be writing, directing and producing.
“Imaginary Friends” will follow a man who can see, and talk, to people’s imaginary friends. However, some of these friends don’t always mean well, and Reynolds’ character has to save the world from those friends that turn evil.

Nine months after John Krasinski debuted “A Quiet Place” at SXSW to the best reviews of his career, eight months after opening in the number-one slot at the box office, seven and a half months after crossing the $100M threshold, and six months after Paramount Pictures confirmed a sequel, he can’t believe he’s still talking about the thing.
The reason, of course, is a good one: distributor Paramount Pictures is giving the film a full awards campaign, one that has recently been bolstered by top 10 designations from AFI and the National Board of Review. Still, this is not how the actor-filmmaker (who has also found the time to start filming his second season as the star of Amazon’s “Jack Ryan” series) expected to spend his December.
“Absolutely not, unequivocally no,” Krasinski said. “I’ve never done the awards season thing for anything. This is very new to me.

Emmys — who needs ’em? Though “The Office” won Best Comedy Series from the television academy in 2006, Steve Carell never won Best Comedy Actor for playing bumbling manager Michael Scott, and John Krasinski was never even nominated for Best Comedy Supporting Actor as sensitive salesman Jim Halpert. But they’ve both moved on to bigger and better things. This year Carell and Krasinski could reunite at the Oscars and trade in the TV academy for the motion picture academy.
Carell has already made an impression at the Oscars. He earned a Best Actor nomination for going against type as homicidal millionaire John du Pont in “Foxcatcher” (2014). This year he has a few chances for additional kudos. He stars in “Beautiful Boy” as real-life writer David Sheff, whose son struggles with drug addiction. He also appears in “Welcome to Marwen” as a man recovering from a brutal assault with help from a unique art installation.

Horror genre fatigue? Nowadays, a lot of horror movies rely on unnecessary jump scares, gratuitous violence and predictable storylines. But if there’s one horror flick this year that defied the odds and subverted tropes, it was John Krasinski‘s “A Quiet Place,” which opened on April 6. On the surface, it’s a simplistic story about a post-apocalyptic world, but at its core, it’s a story about the strength of family bonds. Could “A Quiet Place” be this year’s “Get Out” and get a Best Picture Oscar nomination?
Krasinski directed and starred in “A Quiet Place,” and co-wrote it with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. Set in 2020, the horror-thriller follows a family that is forced into hiding after the Earth’s population has been wiped out by giant sightless creatures with an acute sense of hearing. As these creatures will attack anything that makes even the slightest sound,...

“It’s a love letter to my kids,” said A Quiet Place director and star John Krasinski on what drew him to direct what has become the year’s hit horror film.
Speaking with Deadline International co-Editor Peter White, Krasinski explained that he was never a horror fan, but quickly realized upon reading A Quiet Place, which tells the story of a family, hiding on a remote farm from a horrific extraterrestrial presence, that “it was the best metaphor to parenthood.” And as parents to a three-week old, that hit a nerve with Krasinski and his wife/A Quiet Place star Emily Blunt.
While Krasinksi wasn’t completely absorbed with horror films, he did see Alien, Jaws and Rosemary‘s Baby to know there’s something about creating “tension and not showing what’s coming” to make scares on screen work. His friend, Martian screenwriter Drew Goddard advised after reading...

Imagine a world where making even the tiniest noise could get you torn to pieces by a scary alien monster. That’s the killer premise behind A Quiet Place, an original and utterly terrifying creature feature from actor-director-co-writer John Krasinksi.
The film begins 89 days after an invasion of vicious aliens has decimated the Earth’s population. Aside from possessing razor-sharp teeth, the creatures are equipped with phenomenal hearing abilities, which they use to hunt their human prey.
The opening scene establishes just how far the film is willing to go to terrify you, as a family – father (Krasinski), mother, deaf teenage daughter (hearing-impaired actress Millicent Simmonds) and two young sons (Noah Jupe and Cade Woodward) – experience a horrific tragedy after one of their number accidentally makes a noise with a toy plane.

If you’re a sequel or a comic book movie, there’s a good chance you’ve made a ton of money in 2018. But so far only one original film — that is, not based on existing material — has earned more than $100 million at the U.S. box office: “A Quiet Place.” In fact, John Krasinski‘s apocalyptic horror movie about a family that must live in silence to escape sound-hunting creatures is nearing the $190 million mark domestically. That number is quite impressive for any film, but it’s the all the more important when you consider that “A Quiet Place” is a wholly original story.

Sometimes people first entering a genre can bring something truly special to it. See how directors like Patty Jenkins, Scott Derrickson, Taika Waititi and soon James Wan have brought their influences and ideas to the superhero genre. Sometimes, minds outside of a certain field can really find that they have a knack for it and in the case of writer/director John Krasinski (best known perhaps for featuring in the Us Version of The Office) I think this will prove to be very much the case. As A Quiet Place really does show that – like Jaws, Halloween and The Blair Witch Project – the simplest of ideas in horror can be the most blood-curdlingly effective.
Krasinski has directed two feature films before but with A Quiet Place the self-professed newbie to horror has brought an anxiety to the genre that has all the makings of a future auteur. Like Alfred Hitchcock or John Carpenter,...

If it’s the job of a Hollywood filmmaker to realize imagined worlds where the bounds of everyday reality are cast aside, then John Krasinski has a claim for delivering above-and-beyond his brief. Ever since A Quiet Place sailed to a surprise $50 million opening weekend, everyday realities are shifting, even off-screen. The munching of popcorn has ceased. Chattering cinemagoers have been silenced. Even bathroom breaks have been cautiously tiptoed.

It’s come to this: The only picture that will finally bump A Quiet Place from its perch atop the box office is a new Avengers. With some online critics calling the latest Marvel entry “a hurricane of carnage”…”a movie tornado”…”a blockbuster of noise,” will audiences miss the sounds of silence?
The majors supposedly were going to detonate a series of hits in the first quarter of 2018, but Pacific Rim Uprising and A Wrinkle in Time both fizzled and Rampage lost its top rung after one week. That left gurus scratching their heads, trying to figure the lure of quietude.
A Quiet Place fits the odd profile of a Hollywood “sleeper.” No one seems to know who gave it a green light. It emerged between studio regimes, so no one claims credit for genius marketing strategies. The movie had no Dwayne Johnson-like champion on social media. Paramount’s new CEO,...

Who would have thought that John Krasinski would be the next hot director in Hollywood!? As his horror film A Quiet Place continues to have success, Krasinski has found his next directing gig. According to THR, he will be taking on a sci-fi film project called Life on Mars. The full producing team behind A Quiet Place is also attached. Those producers include Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.
Life on Mars will be an adaptation of a short story written by Cecil Castellucci titled We Have Always Lived on Mars. Krasinski found this story and brought it to his Platinum Dunes to produce.
The story centers on a woman "who is among a handful of descendants of a Martian colony long-abandoned by Earth following a cataclysm. The woman one day finds she can breathe the air on Mars, upending her world and that of her fellow colonists."

“A Quiet Place” executive producer Brad Fuller is still startled that the film had a $50 million opening weekend, taking the top box office spot from none other than Steven Spielberg. “Something magical just happened,” he told IndieWire during a Monday afternoon call. “The tracking on this movie was never very impressive until the last week…It felt anemic.”
When the post-apocalyptic thriller opened Friday, Fuller — who produced with his Platinum Dunes co-founders Michael Bay and Andrew Form — said all involved were expecting the movie to earn about $20 million to $25 million in the next three days, per estimates from Paramount. Yet Platinum Dunes titles, which range from “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” to “The Amityville Horror” and the soon-to-be four-part “Purge” franchise, have consistently bested ticket sales predictions.
“We have made a lot of these movies,” said Fuller. “Unless the movie’s a bomb, most of the time the tracking is not reflective of our audience.

It’s still only the spring, but might we already have another year-end awards contender on our hands? “A Quiet Place” opened on April 6 to rave reviews, and it has now topped the box office with $50 million dollars in its opening weekend against a mere $17 million budget. And it bears a few striking similarities to another horror movie that earned plaudits from the academy, “Get Out.”
The stories of the two films don’t have much in common besides sharing the horror genre. “Get Out” was an allegory about racism in America, while “A Quiet Place” is about a family that lives in silence to escape the detection of creatures that hunt by sound. But there are eerie parallels behind the scenes. Both films were similarly acclaimed: “A Quiet Place” scored 82 on MetaCritic and 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, while “Get Out” rated 84 on MetaCritic and 99% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. And...

‘A Quiet Place’ Has The 2nd Biggest Opening Of 2018; ‘Ready Player One’ Scores Overseas [Box Office]
Maybe should stick with genre films? Up until this point, John Krasinski’s directorial career wasn’t much to speak of with the unremarkable David Foster Wallace adaptation, “Brief Interviews With Hideous Men,” and the “The Hollars.” The latter might be the poster boy for when someone describes, you know, a Netflix film. All that has changed, and Krasinski’s filmmaking career has essentially been minted this weekend with the success of his suspenseful horror movie, “A Quiet Place,” starring his wife Emily Blunt.

Sunday Am Update: Paramount’s A Quiet Place is headed past $50M, according to industry estimates this morning ($50.4M), after a Saturday of $19.2M, which is $200K higher than Friday’s take. Note Friday included $4.3M Thursday previews, so what this means is that A Quiet Place isn’t front-loaded like your standard horror movie, and that’s a fantastic sign for business. Paramount is calling the weekend at $50M, with another $21M from 40 overseas markets, for a $71M global debut.

John Krasinski gets it. With his third directorial outing, the high-concept horror film “A Quiet Place,” the actor and filmmaker has gotten about as far away from his previous films – including an ambitious but flawed David Foster Wallace adaptation and a feel-good family dramedy seemingly made to debut at Sundance – as creatively possible.
That wasn’t entirely by design, though, because Krasinski did not enter the genre space as a way of acting out some childhood dream. Krasinski didn’t even like horror movies as a kid, shoring it up to the eight-year-old who still lives inside of him, terrified of seeing anything scary on the big screen.
“I am among the large group of people who would look at my name and by like, ‘What? That guy is going to do a horror movie?’,” Krasinski said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “But what I realized was that I...

Horror films might have not lost their popularity, but a vast majority of them these days prove the well-worn genre is losing its mojo. Heightened sound effects and music cues are all-too-predictable ways to try to scare audiences, but truly innovative or classic contemporary examples — with the occasional exception of a not easily defined hybrid that comes along to break the mold like Get Out — are not easy to find. Well, I have found one.
A Quiet Place is a genuinely effective, brilliantly executed piece of horror, a truly terrifying movie that earns its screams by essentially turning off the sound. Not since a blind Audrey Hepburn turned off the lights in Wait Until Dark a half-century ago have I had this kind of anxiety watching a movie. Director John Krasinski — who also co-wrote with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck, co-produced, and co-stars with wife Emily Blunt — has delivered an...

Did you ever think that quiet – the hush in which no talk is above a whisper – could scare the hell out of you? A Quiet Place does just that, raising the stakes on terror until no one can hear you scream. As director, star and cowriter (with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck), John Krasinski hits on a killer hook: What if a family of four, among the few left alive after a monster apocalypse, can survive on their upstate New York farm as long as they don't make a sound?...

If you want to survive, you have to stay silent in A Quiet Place, as evidenced by a tense trio of clips from the new horror thriller.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world that's been ravaged by monsters attracted by any kind of noise, A Quiet Place was directed and co-written by John Krasinski, who also co-stars alongside Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, and Millicent Simmonds.
Paramount Pictures will release A Quiet Place in theaters on April 6th. This marks the third feature film behind the camera for Krasinski, who directed Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and The Hollars, as well as three episodes of The Office, on which he played the iconic character of Jim Halpert.

Actor/filmmaker John Krasinski has kept audiences guessing and made quite the transformation over the years. Starting out as the nebbish, mild-mannered Jim Halpert on “The Office,”over the years, Krasinski has evolved into a screenwriter (“The Promised Land,” co-written with Matt Damon), a writer/director of comedy and drama (“Brief Interviews With Hideous Men,” “The Hollars“) and even beefed up as a tough guy action star (Michael Bay‘s “13 Hours,” and his upcoming turn as the star of “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” for Amazon Prime).

The 90th Academy Awards have come and gone (after what felt like a longer than ever Oscar season) and we’re upon yet another one of our yearly film festival markers. The annual music and film industry hybrid festival SXSW – celebrating its 25th year- begins this week and, as per usual, there’s plenty of variety in the full lineup to choose from. The popular festival will be the stage for the debut of “A Quiet Place” as the Opening Night film, a chance for director/actor John Krasinski to redeem himself from the uniquely bad “The Hollars“.

A new trailer for the upcoming film A Quiet Place has been released by Paramount Pictures. In this new trailer (posted below) there is some backstory as to what is going on in the world.
What is hunting down this family? We are not exactly sure. The marketing for the film has been pretty great at not letting the audience know what the family is running from. The mysteriousness of the film is making it both interesting and scary. And of course you have the silent factor.
In the modern horror thriller A Quiet Place, a family of four must navigate their lives in silence after mysterious creatures that hunt by sound threaten their survival. If they hear you, they hunt you.

"If they hear you, they hunt you."

This is the fourth year publishing the list of television, movies, and books that I read throughout the year. It’s always interesting to look back on the content you have consumed with your viewing and reading habits laid out in front of you. It can be pretty scary for those not ready to truly look inside their own mind. For me, my biggest takeaway is always… “I need to read more books”. Looking through my 2017 media diary it’s hard to deny the fact I read zero books. I did however watch plenty of great television, and a few great movies. (Here’s to changing that in 2018).
2017 was the year in which my excitement for new television far exceeded my excitement for new movies. I continued my trend from 2016 where I felt I watched more television than movies. Television had a far larger impact on me, and sure there...

After his overtly earnest drama The Hollars, John Krasinski seems to have taken a few notes from the Blumhouse method for his next directorial effort. A Quiet Place, produced by Michael Bay, is a supernatural thriller following a family who is terrorized by some sort of outside force, but not much else is known about the plot.
The first trailer has now landed, which reveals what looks to be a dialogue-free film. Starring Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Wonderstruck‘s Millicent Simmonds, I’m looking forward to The Office star having a bit more fun with a genre effort, so hopefully he can pull of the restrictions he’s set for himself.
Check out the trailer below ahead of a spring release via Paramount.

Movies starring married couples don’t have the greatest track record with critics (here’s looking at you “By the Sea”), but if any husband and wife can buck the trend it’s got to be John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. “A Quiet Place” is a new supernatural horror film starring the duo opposite Noah Jupe and “Wonderstruck” breakout Millicent Simmonds. The four play a family plagued by supernatural terrors.

It's impossible to talk about Free Fire without talking about guns. Apart from a plethora of pithy one-liners from the cast -- which includes Armie Hammer, Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy and Sharlto Copley -- that is essentially what Free Fire is. Hell, the tagline on the poster is even, "All guns. No control." The plot of the '70s-set action flick (out now) revolves around a gun deal gone south, with each player trying to shoot their way out alive over two hours of bullet-blazing mayhem. Et sat down with both Copley and Hammer at the film's press day to talk leading man status, going method and glorifying guns in movies.
"There's not a lot of people in the movie and everybody is shooting at somebody. So, there wasn't a single day that you were going to work where you weren't getting shot at or blown up or something," Hammer said of the shoot. "It was all...

Hold on to your wallets and purses, here comes the creeps and crooks because it’s crime time once again at the multiplex (and I’m not talking about those concession prices). This week’s flick is more of an offshoot of the crime genre: it’s the heist flick, or more specifically, the heist “gone wrong” flick. Now, this isn’t a sophisticated caper thriller, say like the Oceans 11 franchise (that all-female “spin” is on its way) or even The Thomas Crown Affair (68′ and 99′). The dudes (and dame) in this movie could never pass in “high society” (like that suave Cary Grant in To Catch A Thief), they’re “working class” criminals. These types have been a very frequent source for “indie” films, from Blood Simple and Reservoir Dogs to, well, last year’s critical “darling” Hell Or High Water. This tale varies from the caper formula since they...

Here’s something to remember next time you go to a big trivia fund-raising night. If there’s a movie or Oscar category, one of the questions may be: “What film maker (or producer) has won the most Academy Awards?”. The answer is (and will be for a long time to come) Walt Disney. Now, as you jot down that name, you may think that all that gold was netted by his animation work, the classic features and short subjects. Well, a lot of it, but not all. From 1948 to 1960 Disney dominated the Best Live-Action Short Subject category with his “True-Life Adventures” series. Lots of baby boomers may be familiar with them, not from theatrical showings (usually paired with the re-release of those animated features), but from that NBC Sunday night staple, “Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color”. Several shorts would be edited together for the hour-long shows. The...

John Krasinski has signed on to direct, rewrite, and star in the supernatural thriller A Quiet Place. His wife, Emily Blunt, will star alongside him. Variety reports that the couple usually keeps a wall between their private and professional lives, but they both loved the script for this one so much that they couldn’t pass it up. The project is based on a spec script by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods that Paramount loved so much they not only bought this one, they gave Beck and Woods a write-direct deal on their next project. We do not know anything about the plot at this point, but apparently Krasinski chose it after saying he wanted to do something similar to The Purge or Ouija, so I guess it is something kind of like The Purge and/or Ouija.

It may seem prudent to seek out a little peace after headlining the upcoming Jack Ryan TV show, and the now-filming Mary Poppins Returns respectively, and that is exactly what John Krasinski and Emily Blunt have signed on to do – with their commitment to A Quiet Place. The project is being developed at Paramount, with Michael Bay on board as a co-producer, and will see Krasinski write, direct, produce and act, with Blunt as his co-star.
Reportedly scheduled for a late-2017 shoot, the plot details of A Quiet Place are currently shrouded in mystery – but given the body of work already amassed by those involved, we can glean a lot of information from the way in which this movie is coming together.

The Paramount/Platinum Dunes production marks the first time the couple will co-star together in a feature film — the last movie they worked on together was 2011’s “The Muppets,” but they did not share any scenes.

The Mary Poppins Returns star and her Office alum husband are teaming up for A Quiet Place, Krasinski's major studio directorial debut, which he will also write as well as star in with his wife, Deadline reports.
And while the duo did technically both appear in 2011's The Muppets, they never actually had any scenes together, so this is uncharted territory in a sense -- and something Krasinski has been looking forward to!
