About IF Movie:

IF is an American live-action/animated fantasy comedy film written, directed, and produced by John Krasinski and starring an ensemble cast that includes Ryan Reynolds, Krasinski, Cailey Fleming, Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim, and Liza Colón-Zayas, along with the voices of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., and Steve Carell.

In October 2019, Paramount Pictures outbid Lionsgate and Sony, among others, to win the rights to Imaginary Friends, a project developed by John Krasinski and Ryan Reynolds, with Krasinski set to write and direct it.

In May 2021, Krasinski’s Sunday Night Productions and Reynolds’s Maximum Effort signed first-look deals with Paramount. In October 2021, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fiona Shaw joined the cast.

In January 2022, Steve Carell, Alan Kim, Cailey Fleming, and Louis Gossett Jr. joined the cast. The film reunites Krasinski and Carell, who both starred in The Office (2005–2013). In August 2022, Bobby Moynihan was added to the cast. The voice cast and premise were revealed in April 2023 at CinemaCon 2023.

Principal photography began on August 31, 2022, with Janusz Kamiński as the cinematographer, and it wrapped by early May 2023.

In January 2024, Krasinski revealed that Michael Giacchino had composed the score for the film.

IF was released in theaters by Paramount Pictures on May 17, 2024. It was originally scheduled for November 17, 2023, and May 24, 2024.
