What to expect in IF?
IF is written and directed by Krasinski, based on his original idea about a child’s journey in rediscovering their imagination. The film will center around a young girl who has the ability to see people’s imaginary friends who have been left behind after their real-life pals grew up.
“Imaginary friends are not just these adorable creations, they are time capsules for our hopes, dreams, ambitions,” Krasinski said during Paramount Pictures’ panel at the 2023 CinemaCon. “I wanted people to leave this movie believing in something bigger and believing in something beautiful. It’s very real, and it’s very possible.”
The film also stars Steve Carell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim, Cailey Fleming, Bobby Moynihan, Louis Gossett Jr., Matt Damon, Jon Stewart, Emily Blunt, Sam Rockwell, Richard Jenkins, Maya Rudolph, Awkwafina, Christopher Meloni, and Sebastian Maniscalco. It is produced by Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Andrew Form through their Sunday Night banner, along with Reynolds for Maximum Effort. George Dewey is also executive producing via Maximum Effort.
