I love a good indie drama and when I first saw the simple-but-intriguing poster for NOBODY WALKS, I was instantly interested. Pair the intrigue with the fact the film stars John Krasinski and Olivia Thirlby and I was sold.
Thirlby features as fearless, quirky artist Martine, who moves in with Peter (Krasinski) and his family. Although this may sound questionable, Peter is actually helping Martine with her latest project, as a favour to his wife (played by Rosemarie DeWitt). However, as the pair start working together, tensions start to rise and sparks – good and bad – fly. Directed by Ry Russo-Young (YOU WON’T MISS ME) and co-written by Lena Dunham (TINY FURNITURE), the film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
I’ve just started watching the US version of THE OFFICE and I have to admit that one of the few reasons I have is because of Krasinski (who stars as Jim). Having seen him in the indie comedy AWAY WE GO, I know that he can carry a film, so I’m very excited to see what he can do with Thirlby (who has previously starred in a few of my favourites, including JUNO and THE WACKNESS).
NOBODY WALKS is due for a US release from 12th October. It’s currently awaiting a UK release date.
