Krasinski Loves Cloverfield

I'm neither a huge J. J. Abrams fan NOR a monster movie fan, so I doubt I'll be seeing this week's CLOVERFIELD.  That didn't stop our friend John Krasinski from hitting the big Hollywood premier event for the film this past Wednesday.

From VARIETY:

When an untitled trailer for "Cloverfield" debuted last summer attached to prints of Paramount's "Transformers," no one was quite sure what to make of it. Now everyone has an opinion.  Variety asked guests at the film's Hollywood premiere on Wednesday to weigh in with their reactions.

John Krasinski, star of NBC's "The Office": "I thought it was great! I didn't have any expectations so it shattered them. I think it's both an incredibly innovative script and idea to bring back the monster genre, but they also started breaking some boundaries in film. The night vision shot in the tunnel was wild. It was kind of like 'Blair Witch' on speed."

Rainn Wilson was also at the premier, but alas, no smart-alecky quips were quoted.  Hit the link above for other celeb reactions.
