Movies World's Best Boss: John Krasinski casts The Office costar Steve Carell in his next film Michael Scott and Jim Halpert are reuniting! By Derek Lawrence Derek Lawrence I currently write about Fast & Furious, The Office, and Will Smith. One day, I will write Hitch 2. EW's editorial guidelines Published on January 25, 2022 01:56PM EST Let's hope that Steve Carell kept Michael Scott's "World's Best Boss" mug to give to his new director. Carell is set to star in IF, the next directorial effort from his former The Office costar John Krasinski. Yes, Michael Scott and Jim Halpert are reuniting, that's what we said! Joining the Dunder Mifflin alums will be Ryan Reynolds, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim, Cailey Fleming, and Louis Gossett Jr. "Ah, what if one day I could assemble my dream cast?" Krasinski wrote on Twitter to announce the news. "What...IF" While details are scarce, Deadline, which first reported the casting, says the original idea from Krasinski is "about a child's journey to rediscover their imagination." This will be the fifth film from the writer-director behind the monster success that is the Quiet Place franchise, and, interestingly enough, the first time that an Office star appears in a Krasinski joint. Somewhere, Andy Bernard is outraged. Want more movie news? Sign up for Entertainment Weekly's free newsletter to get the latest trailers, celebrity interviews, film reviews, and more.
