What’s next for Steve and John

Since it’s a rather slow Office news day (not counting spoilers, of course), how about some tidbits on what Steve and John are up to?

Steve Carell

  • Get Smart. Work starts in March on the big-screen version of “Get Smart,” in which Steve plays Maxwell Smart. Read a short blurb about it here.
  • Horton Hears a Who. Steve will supply the voice of the mayor of Who-ville in an animated movie version of “Horton Hears a Who,” scheduled for release in 2008. Jim Carrey will voice Horton the elephant. See the full article and first-look image here.

John Krasinski

  • Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. John will write and direct the big screen version of the David Foster Wallace book. More information at Cinema Blend.
  • A New Wave. Okay, this isn’t a future project, but I thought y’all might be interested in this if you haven’t seen it yet. This is a movie John made last year which is still awaiting release. Warning: this is no Jim Halpert. Watch the trailer of A New Wave here.

Office Sweethearts Tease Tonight’s Return

TV Guide talked to Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski after their appearance on The Today Show this morning.

An excerpt:

TVGuide.com: A concern of some critics is that your story line threatens to make The Office, a comedy, too “angsty.” Do you take that personally at all?

Krasinski: People have been saying that for a while, but the writers keep it so realistic that I feel like however it came out, you can talk to a number of people who have had a similar experience. I feel like we sort of answered a lot of questions, and I’m really glad that we ended [Season 2] the way that we did.

Thanks, Jill, for the tip!

Esquire Q&A with John Krasinski

Esquire has a brief chat with John about “The Office,” “For Your Consideration,” and “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.”

An excerpt:

ESQ: When the U. S. version of The Office debuted, there was no telling if it would survive. Are you breathing more easily in the third season?

JK: Definitely. For a while we were all thinking about applying to a restaurant close to the studio, so that at a moment’s notice we could go work over there. I remember thinking, We get a DVD of this, right? At least I can prove to my mom that it happened. Now people actually care about it.
