DP/30: A Quiet Place, John Krasinski

You know him from The Office and a parade of film roles, but the nascent director exploded things with A Quiet Place early in 2018 and the film still looks like a staple for decades to come almost a year later.John Krasinski sat down with David Poland to talk about the film, the journey and the future.

He drops his cell phone mid conversation and doesn't pick up until it's done. Now THAT's professional!!

These interviews are absolute goldmines in terms of learning about different individuals creative processes. Thank you for working so hard in what you do, keep up the great work.

Agree. 100%

I was just thinking the same thing! I just finished watching a SAG Conversation with John Krasinski. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out! It's great to hear the "backstory" of sorts. ❤️

[@LJE1821]

I always amaze to John and Emily’s relationship. Both amazing actors and people because they’re perfect balance to each other. Both supportive and have strong connection.

[@jsatcok]

I'm only 4 minutes in, but I just realized that I love these interviews so much because you're not afraid to get into a short story yourself, and give your opinions on things. I'm sure these people are so used to just being asked questions all the time and never really having a conversation. Anyways, great stuff, thank you!

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

Indeed, it is a real conversation and not just a short promo pitch for their movie. Sometimes in these interviews you can see the surprise in their eyes when they realize they get asked questions going beyond the usual "Wasn't working with XY amazing?" kind and actually are allowed to talk about the process and craft usually ignored in promotion.

[@apseudonym]

i love that he makes use of family to enhance his artistic process. john and emily are a powerhouse of talent.

[@sebarkana1419]

Emily Blunt and him are the best couple in the world, I really hope they will make other movies together.

[@noni4535]

Seb Arkana ME TOO. They’re both incredible!

[@MegaSheen15]

Technically they are, but he’s just directing A Quiet Place 2, not starring

[@frenchfried2682]

Holy shit what an outstanding interview. This channel is amazing. The questions are great and I didn’t think I could like John Krazinski more.

[@nownowpippo]

French Fry is amazing, now now...

[@ChrisPage68]

At least he bothered to cast an actual Deaf girl as the daughter. Most big budget productions would opt for the lazy route and cast a hearing person. John deserves credit in that respect.

Best interview of John Krasinski about A quiet place

[@aboutkimmy]

Hard not to like the guy. Seems like such a genuine and down to earth person.

[@JoshuaBarrio]

the film he is talking about at 17:50 is Horrors of the Black Museum (1959)

[@chiamaka_Aham]

I was having a really bad day but this interview makes everything better.❤️

[@noni4535]

That was a fantastic interview. I just love John & Emily. I hope he continues to both act & direct. He’s a pure genius! New Subscriber

[@tamaraburgos8865]

I've been waiting for you to interview John for so long!! Love him and Emily and also love how insightful and deep this conversation was!

[@meg27mm]

What a great conversation! Thank God for DP/30!

[@ObviouslyBlonde]

Thank you for such an insightful interview! Krasinski's very eloquent, but your subsequent comments and questions really emphasize the meaning of his answers in a way. I'm so grateful you take care to do research and interviews on so many movies that are interesting!

[@j.jmarlon1417]

You can either close your eyes, or not and All I hear is steven Spielberg interviewing John Krasinski

[@jcp1984again]

A little maybe... but Mr. Poland sounds quite a bit more aggressive than Mr. Spielberg and has a lot sharper S pronunciation. :-)

[@MegaSheen15]

I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard John say “fuck”

[@michellemigone7739]

Great interview! Thanks JK from beign an extraordinary human beign and sharing your professional talents with the world.

John is someone I hope to be like as a director.

[@Ibrahim-bv6rv]

I would have picked my phone up 😂😂😂

[@lucanreynolds947]

I'm a little confused. He keeps referencing that the film is a 'genre movie'. What actually is a genre movie? I thought it was a film that fits into just one genre (like The Raid - action), but I would definitely say A Quiet Place isn't just horror. In fact, I would say it's more drama than horror/thriller. Amazing conversation by the way, one of my favourites recently.

[@AttnDefDis_]

I agree. I found him saying that over and over really annoying. He acts like ONLY horror movies are genre. What?

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

I have the feeling the meaning of the term has shifted from "fitting one genre" to "being committed to make it work on the terms of a genre".

[@Aclaxl]

why am i crying everytime he talks about his wife??

[@noni4535]

street icon IKR they are the perfect couple for sure

[@roscosart1888]

At 15:50!! “people don't get" ? Some of us do get it. CGI was in the older movies way before Jurassic park, 1982 Tron, Westworld, young Sherlock Holmes, the abyss, Terminator 2. Jurassic park was the first fully scanned CGI animal on screen which was a breakthrough but it wouldn't be possible without older films. The first fully CGI character was young Sherlock Holmes, then jar jar Binks, spiderman came after.

[@ChrisPage68]

The most horrific thing about Jaws wasn't even the shark. It was the nails down the chalk board. I recently listened to a radio reading of the book, and it was much more about class and masculinity and capitalism than the movie. I would like to see that version on screen.

John Krasinski acting like he doesn’t know the entire world wants him to be MCU’s Mr. Fantastic.

John Krasinski is still doing press for A Quiet Place?

[@annadewitt123]

Could you please turn on the subtitle option of videos? It would be helpful for people who are not native speaker like me.

[@dp30]

The subtitle option is up... but automated closed captioning is up to KZbin. Some interviews get them and some don't. I could make transcripts of the interviews and place them on each interview... but time + money...

[@annadewitt123]

@@dp30 I was talking about automated subtitle, I thought channel don't allow to show automated subtitle. I didn't know that it is up to KZbin. Otherwise, adding subtitle is very time consuming and not necessary. Thank you for all of these good interviews😊
