John Krasinski update on new project, photos

  • John Krasinski discussed his writing project with Matt at Collider:





    How soon will that go?

  • From an interview with Steven Soderberg at Coming Soon:

    CS: You've also worked a lot with Matt Damon, who writes, and George who both writes and directs, so is that something preferable in an actor you're collaborating with?
    Soderbergh: No, it's a huge benefit. I mean, Scott would be the first to tell you. In a couple of cases in "Contagion" we'd have a scene that he and Matt and I would sort of re-tool on the set based on what we were thinking that day. To have someone like Matt who's not looking at it from the point of view of, "I'm the movie star," but who's someone who has written and is very sort of savvy about how movies work and how narrative works. It's great to have that person in the conversation to be able to talk about the movie on a macro level and not just the thing that we're doing right now. That's just a huge plus for a filmmaker. I mean, he's very bright.

    CS: I've talked to a lot of filmmakers who've worked with him now, who will vouch for Matt's contributions as a collaborator.
    Soderbergh: Yeah, he understands that stuff. It's something he thinks about a lot, and his instincts are good. My opinion is if you can get him, you should get him.
