Mar 15, 2017 8:41 PM CUT [John Krasinski](http://time.com/4653440/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-sag-awards/ "undefined") and [Emily Blunt](http://time.com/4473275/emily-blunt-girl-on-the-train-interview/ "undefined") will at last grace the same movie screen with the power of their combined presence. The couple, who married in 2010, will appear together in a thriller called _A Quiet Place_. _The Office_ alum will write and direct the movie and act alongside the [_Mary Poppins Returns_](http://time.com/4473276/emily-blunt-mary-poppins-different-julie-andrews/ "undefined")star, Variety [reports](http://variety.com/2017/film/news/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-movie-together-quiet-place-1201909081/ "undefined"). The film, to be produced by Krasinski’s _13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi_ director Michael Bay, will be the actor’s third time directing, following last year’s dramatic comedy _The Hollars_ and 2009’s _Brief Interviews with Hideous Men_. Although Krasinski and Blunt both voice characters in the upcoming animated movie _Animal Crackers_, due in September, the thriller will mark the first time the couple appears together onscreen in a feature film. Last year, Krasinski [told](http://time.com/4459435/john-krasinski-the-hollars-emily-blunt/ "undefined") TIME he wanted to work with his wife again at some point in the future. “We’ve always talked about doing a movie or a play together. We just don’t want the idea of us being married to supersede the movie, so we have have to find something that’s that specific,” he said. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4702855/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-thriller-star-a-quiet-place/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4702855/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-thriller-star-a-quiet-place/"},"headline":"John Krasinski and Emily Blunt Are Finally Starring in a Movie Together","datePublished":"2017-03-15T20:41:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:57.441Z","description":"The power couple will finally appear onscreen together","url":"https://time.com/4702855/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-thriller-star-a-quiet-place/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0711d434b83c1435/6988be8f86f68e5bc26e3dd5/john-krasinski-emily-blunt.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0711d434b83c1435/6988be8f86f68e5bc26e3dd5/john-krasinski-emily-blunt.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"john-krasinski-emily-blunt","caption":"attends the Sicario TIFF party hosted by GREY GOOSE Vodka and Soho Toronto at Soho House Toronto on September 11, 2015 in Toronto, Canada.","creditText":"Stefanie Keenan—2015 Stefanie Keenan","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4702855/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-thriller-star-a-quiet-place/","name":"John Krasinski and Emily Blunt Are Finally Starring in a Movie Together"}}]}] ```
