Short filmTranscript
00:00 What are you anyway?
00:02 An "if."
00:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:05 I had the idea for this movie about seven years ago.
00:08 I wanted to do a movie about imaginary friends called "Ifs."
00:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:13 Imaginary friend?
00:15 Got it.
00:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:19 This is a movie that John and I have been
00:20 talking about for years now, something
00:22 that feels a bit like a live action Pixar film.
00:25 And action.
00:28 The movie is about a little girl named Bea,
00:30 going through an experience in her life that is troubling.
00:32 And as a coping mechanism, she starts
00:35 to see every single person's imaginary friend.
00:38 Hi.
00:39 All the ones that have been left behind by the kids who
00:41 have created them and grown up.
00:43 And what does she do with that superpower?
00:46 You could save all of us.
00:49 The man upstairs is a de facto accomplice for Bea.
00:53 And they strike up a pretty unexpected friendship.
00:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:59 Keith!
01:01 What kind of a kid creates an invisible "if?"
01:04 In the middle of it is an active imagination.
01:09 And John Krasinski, who not only wrote the film,
01:12 directs the film, but he also absolutely
01:14 enacts these creatures for us all the time.
01:16 Eddie, what happened?
01:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:21 The cast is insane.
01:23 I know for a fact I will never get a better cast than this.
01:26 And playing imaginary friends, we have Steve Carell,
01:30 Matt Damon, Jon Stewart, Phoebe Waller-Bridge,
01:33 Emily Blunt, Maya Rudolph, Sam Rockwell, Louis Gossett Jr.,
01:38 Sebastian Maniscalco, Chris Malone, Richard Jenkins,
01:42 and Awkwafina.
01:44 Put some pants on.
01:44 You're freaking everyone out.
01:47 Imaginary friends are not just these adorable creatures.
01:51 They are actually time capsules for our hopes,
01:53 dreams, ambitions.
01:55 It's fun.
01:56 It's heartwarming.
01:58 It's a big family movie with a little bit of everything.
02:02 It's about that friend that's there for them
02:05 unconditionally and always.
02:08 I wanted people to leave this movie believing
02:11 in something bigger and believing
02:12 in something beautiful.
02:14 We'll actually get you through another day,
02:15 because it's very real and it's very possible.
02:19 Get it?
02:20 Imaginary friend?
02:22 That's enough.
02:23 Sorry.
02:25 Sorry.
02:26 So exciting. (laughing)
02:28 - Okay, we're done. (laughing)
