( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: A LITTLE CLOSER.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GAUGE IT.
>> Stephen: CAN WE MAKE SURE SHE'S NOT IN THE SHOT.
>> I WAS WONDERING IF SHE COULD BE IN THE SHOT.
IT'S SORT OF A SECURITY BLANKET FOR ME NOW.
CAN I GET MY CUP?
VERY DYI NOW, GET YOUR OWN WATER.
>> Stephen: DO YOU WANT A DRINK?
>> WHAT ARE YOU HAVING?
>> Stephen: BOURBON.
MM-HMM.
SO, JOHN, THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER WAS MARCH 9, 2020.
( LAUGHTER ) >> OH!
OH, YEAH.
THEY ALL THAT THE COVID MANHATTAN.
>> Stephen: MM-HMM.
YEAH, THERE IT IS.
THAT WILL KILL IT.
>> Stephen: ( BLEEP ).
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I DON'T USUALLY
MOVE THIS MUCH.
DAMN IT, HAT HURT.
>> SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU OKAY?
>> Stephen: YEAH, I WILL BE FINE.
I WILL BE FINE.
THAT WILL BE 14 BUCKS.
THERE'S A MINIMUM.
>> TWO OF THEM.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE THE GIRLS ARE GOING TO BE OUT HERE IN A
MINUTE.
THEY'VE GOT TO BUY THEM DRINKS, TOO.
>> NO PROBLEM.
>> Stephen: THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER WAS MARCH 9 OF
2020, WHICH WAS THREE DAYS BEFORE WE HAD TO BUG OUT BECAUSE
EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: AND YOU WERE HERE FOR A LITTLE PROJECT CALLED --
>> "A QUIET PLACE PART II" 1.0.
THIS IS 2.0.
>> Stephen: AND I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE ENTRANCE WHEN YOU
WERE HERE OVER A YEAR AGO.
YOU CAN GET A SENSE WE WERE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THAT
SOMETHING BAD WAS ABOUT TO BE COMING DOWN THE PIKE.
WE WEREN'T QUITE SURE.
THAT WAS IT.
>> JUST BEFORE I WENT OUT, SMEBODY WAS, LIKE, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO TOUCH THEM ARE YOU?
AND THEY'RE, LIKE, AND JOHN KRASINSKI.
I WAS, LIKE, AM I SUPPOSED TO?
AS I WAS GOING ON STAGE.
SO IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD.
>> Stephen: I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WHEN YOU WERE HERE THEN, I
DON'T KNOWLY PRETENDED TO HAVE SEEN YOUR MOVIE, BECAUSE I WOULD
NEVER DO THAT TO YOU.
DID I DO THAT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: I HAD NEVER SEEN YOUR MOVIE.
I HAVE SEEN IT NOW.
THAT'S ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF IT BEING DELAYED BEING RELEASED FOR
14 MONTHS.
WE SAW IT LAST NIGHT AND LOVED IT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Stephen: FANTASTIC, GREAT REVIEWS.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: THIS IS THE D.V.D.
YES.
>> Stephen: THAT THEY GAVE ME.
IT HAS MY NAME ON IT AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW, YOU CAN TELL YOUR
BOYS OVER AT PARAMOUNT TO STOP CALLING ME EVERY OTHER HEART
BEAT TO GET THE D.V.D. BACK.
I'M NOT GOING TO SELL IT DOWN IN CHINATOWN, I PROMISE YOU.
>> BUT YOU DID COPY IT.
>> Stephen: I DID.
THAT'S FOR YOU.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
I FEEL STRESSED BECAUSE NOW THEY'RE GOING TO CALL ME.
>> Stephen: THEY LITERALLY SAID I WANT A VIDEOTAPE OF HIM
DESTROYING IT IF HE DOESN'T RETURN IT.
>> HANDING IT TO ME IS LIKE DESTROYING IT.
>> Stephen: YOU DELAYED IT THREE TIMES.
YOU KEPT THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE RELEASED.
>> YES.
I'M EVER HOPEFUL.
I'M LIKE A SIX-YEAR-OLD OPTIMIST, ARE THEY READY?
NO.
WE KEPT PUSHING.
IT WAS A BY CZAR THING AND REALLY RIGHT THING TO DO SO THAT
TAKES THE EMOTION OUT OF IT.
>> Stephen: THIS IS THE KIND OF FILM YOU WANT TO SEE IN A
THEATER.
>> I BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO.
>> Stephen: I'M NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY WHEN I SAY THE
FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF THE MOVIE MIGHT BE THE MOST TERRIFYING AND
NOTHING ( BLEEP ) HAPPENS.
>> WOW, THAT'S THE BEST REVIEW EVER.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE IT'S THE SOUND DESIGN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IT'S THE SOUND DESIGN.
EVERY TIME -- CAN I SAY WHAT HAPPENS AT THE BEGINNING THAT
IT'S BEFORE -- IT GOES TO BEFORE THE ACTUAL ALIENS ACTUALLY GET
THERE, SO IT'S LEADING UP TO IT.
IT'S JUST NORMAL LIFE.
EVERY TIME SOMEBODY DOES THIS -- YOU GO WHAT THE ( BLEEP ) YOU'
DOING?
I LOVE HOW IT'S CONSCIOUS.
THE CHOICES YOU MAKE OF WHAT SOUNDS WE HEAR.
AH, THE APPLE SHOULDN'T MAKE A SOUND BUT THE BAG SHOULD.
>> WE GOT TO PLAY WITH ALL THAT.
I TWEAKED THE APPLE BITE.
MAKE PEOPLE NERVOUS.
>> Stephen: WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY TO EVERYBODY A HOME IS THIS
MOVIE IS JUST AS GOOD ON THE RADIO.
HISLY -- >> NO, LISTEN, IT'S A RADIO
PLAY.
WE MADE IT AS A RADIO PLAY, AND THEN THEY SAID YOU SHOULD
PROBABLY SHOOT IT.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE ACTUALLY BEEN DOING THIS THING I LOVE, IS
THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SURPRISING PEOPLE IN THE THEATERS TO
CELEBRATOR.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: TO CELEBRATE.
TO CELEBRATE COMING BACK TO THE THEATERS.
MY WHOLE THING IS NOW THAT PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE, IT IS
SO EXCITING PEOPLE ARE COMING BACK TO THE THEATERS.
YES, COME SEE MY MOVIE BUT GO SEE ANY MOVIE.
>> HERE'S THE DEAL.
I SAID I WAS GOING TO BRING OUT "A QUIET PLACE PART II" WHEN WE
COULD ALL GO SEE IT TOGETHER.
IT'S TIME AND IT'S MIAMI.
LET'S GO!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I'M GOING AROUND THEATERS ALL
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
POPPING IN LIKE THIS TO SAY THANK YOU.
CAN I GET IN THIS PICTURE?
COME BACK TO THE THEATERS.
LET'S WATCH MOVIES TOGETHER AND BE TOGETHER.
LET'S DO IT!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
WHOO!
( APPLAUSE ) >> COME ON, GUYS.
I NEED A LITTLE -- THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
( APPLAUSE ) I AM SO THRILLED TO BE BACK IN
THE THEATERS.
I WAS TOO EXCITED.
I WAS, LIKE, I'M GOING ACROSS TO THEATERS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
>> Stephen: DID YOU WEAR THAT SHIRT IN THERE.
>> I SLEEP IN IT.
SOMEBODY IN MIAMI SAID, COOL, YOU'RE DRESSED FOR MIAMI.
I'M KIND OF DRESSED AS A BOSTON KID WHO THINK THIS IS HOW PEOPLE
DRESS LIKE IN MIAMI.
>> Stephen: YOUR TALENTED WIFE EMILY IS SO GREAT IN THIS.
IT'S NOT ONLY ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING MOVIES I'VE EVER
SEEN, BUT IT IS.
I DON'T DO THE JUMP SCARE AS WELL.
AND WE MIGHT HAVE WATCHED SOME OF IT WITH A SOUNDOFF.
WE MIGHT HAVE MUTED A FEW MOMENTS OF IT, YOU KNOW, AND I
KNOW THAT'S -- >> THAT'S A HUGE COMPLIMENT.
YES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS FILM HAS?
HEART.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: IT'S ACTUALLY A DEEPLY MOVING STORY AT THE SAME
TIME.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU MESH THOSE TWO?
I DON'T USUALLY ASSOCIATE DEEPLY MOVING HUMAN STORY AND HORROR.
>> I ACTUALLY LEARNED THAT LESSON FROM GREG DANIELS IN THE
OFFICE.
IT WAS THREE WEEKS INTO THE SHOOTING AND I WAS SO NERVES IN
THE SCENE.
HE SAID, YOU OKAY?
I SAID, YES, THIS IS MY FAVORITE JOKES IN THE DRIPT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DELIVER IT FUNNY.
HE SAID, YOU JUST DELIVER IT AND LET PEOPLE DECIDE WHETHER IT'S
FUNNY OR NOT.
I SAID OKAY.
HE SAID, YOU DELIVER THE CHARACTER AND THEY'LL FALL IN
LOVE WITH YOU AND GO ON ANY RIDE.
SO I THOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANY HORROR MOVIE, SO I DID
A FAMILY DRAMA AND LET I'VE BURN FALL IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTER.
YOU SAYING IT HAS HEART IS THE BEST COMPLIMENT EVER.
>> Stephen: EMILY IS TRULY, YOU SEE HORRIFIED, A MOTHER
ABSOLUTELY ON THE EDGE IN THIS.
>> THE TRUTH IS I THINK SHE'S THE MOST TALENTED ACTRESS WE
HAVE.
I MEAN, SHE'S JUST THE MOST UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED PERSON,
BUT, ALSO, MORE THAN ACTING, SHE'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE PERSON
TO HAVE ON SET.
THE ENTIRE CREW, EVERYBODY WHO'S AROUND LOVES IT THAT MUCH MORE
WHEN SHE'S ON SET.
IS SHE -- SHE'S NOT HERE TODAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE A DISASTER, GUYS.
OKAY, LET'S SHOOT.
>> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU SAY AFTER -- THERE'S A CRITICAL
MOMENT WHERE THE CHILDREN DO THINGS NEAR THE END OF THE FILM.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU SAY.
I SAID, JOHN REALLY LOVES HIS CHILDREN.
>> THAT'S AMAZING!
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT TELEGRAPHS IS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE
YOUR KIDS.
>> AS PSYCHOTIC, THESE MOVIES ARE A LOVE LETTER TO MY KIDS.
THEY REALLY ARE.
>> Stephen: TOTALLY BELIEVE IT.
NOW, DURING QUARANTINE, MANY PEOPLE INDULGED THEMSELVES --
SELF MEDICATED, WHETHER IT BE ALCOHOL OR FUDGE.
I KNOW YOU'RE ALL JACK RYAN HARD NOW.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: DID YOU LOSE IT DURING QUARANTINE.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: DID YOU BLOAT UP.
THERE WAS A MOMENT THERE WHERE WE WERE GOING TO SHOOT AND
I SAID I'M READY, WE NEED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE SHOW TO
FAT RYAN AND WE'LL DO IT.
I WAS ADDICTED TO POPCORN.
MY KIDS HAD MOVIE -- MICROWAVE MOVIE POPCORN AND THEY LOVED IT
AND SLOWLY THE TIME STARTED GETTING EARLIER AND EARLIER.
AT, LIKE, 9:00 A.M. AT BREAKFAST I WAS, LIKE, ANYBODY WANT
POPCORN?
EMILY WAS, LIKE, YOU HAVE TO COOL IT ON THE POPCORN, YOU HAVE
TO STOP MIKE WAIVING POPCORN AT 9:00 A.M.
>> Stephen: I HAVE THE SAME THING WITH VODKA.
>> AND YOU OFFERED IT TO YOUR CHILDREN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: AN ESPRESSO
MARTINI FELT GOOD FOR BREAKFAST.
I NEVER ACTUALLY BUT I WAS LIKE, GOD, THAT WOULD BE ( BLEEP )
FANTASTIC.
>> YOU'RE STILL GETTING THE BENEFITS OF THE ESPRESSO.
>> Stephen: YOU GET ALL THE VIET HEN ESPRESSO.
>> THEN YOU PUT VITAMIN IN YOUR GREEN JUICE AND IT'S THE
HEALTHIEST.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS GREEN JUICE?
>> IT IS JUICE THAT IS GREEN.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE A MOVIE STAR.
>> YEP.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A MOVIE STAR.
>> YEP.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH MR. JOHN KRASINSKI.
