John Krasinski in talks to join J.J. Abrams’ God Particle
Variety is reporting that John Krasinski is “in early talks” to join David Oyelowo and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in God Particle, the sci-fi thriller produced by J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot studio. The movie is apparently about a team of astronauts who “make a terrifying discovery that challenges everything they know about the fabric of reality,” with Coming Soon expanding that synopsis to include a particle accelerator accident, a disappearing Earth, and signals from a mysterious space station. For Krasinski, the idea of playing a character who shows up for work and witnesses a series of ridiculous/bizarre things should feel familiar, since he recently filmed a movie with Michael Bay.
