Ahead of its Superbowl trailer, a brand new IF video for Paramount Pictures’ upcoming fantasy comedy has been released.
The video features Ryan Reynolds getting confused with the appearance of Randall Park, who introduces himself as director and star John Krasinski. To convince the Deadpool star that he is indeed the A Quiet Place filmmaker, the featurette also includes behind-the-scenes footage showing Park on set. This has been a popular running gag among The Office fans, originating from an episode in Season 9 in which Jim and Pam pranked Dwight with Park’s “Asian Jim.”
Check out the new IF featurette below (watch more trailers):
