It all started when, during a commercial break for the show, the trailer for A Quiet Place Part II aired. Afterward, Chris said, “May I tell you a story? I know we didn’t tell your researchers about this, but I didn’t know you were going to play that trailer."
"When A Quiet Place came out," he began, "I had an idea for a joke afterwards. And so I sent Emily Blunt and her husband this idea for the musical of A Quiet Place and it was just me like that...and they never replied."
"So every time I see that trailer, it makes me feel sick," he joked. "I thought, Oh no, they must have thought I was taking the mickey. I wasn’t. I loved the film!
And he did! But according to John Krasinski, he never got an email to begin with!
The Quiet Place star and director commented on Ellen's video, saying, "Are you kidding me!?!? Emily what have you done!?!?"
No word yet on Chris's reply, but Nick Jonas chimed in saying that he, too, didn't get a reply to his email.
IDK what to tell ya, guys — maybe try DM'ing John on Twitter next time!
