Actress Cailey Fleming delighted Walking Dead fans with her portrayal of Rick Grimes’ (Andrew Lincoln) daughter, Judith, after the season 9 time jump. She appeared wearing the hat previously worn by her father and then brother Carl (Chandler Riggs), had a mini version of Michonne’s (Danai Gurira) katana, and held her father’s revolver. It was a sight to see, and Fleming did an outstanding job in her portrayal of Judith until the series finale in November 2022. Next, Fleming will star in a John Krasinski film IF.
From the imagination of John Krasinski comes the new movie about imaginary friends, or IFs, and what happens to them when people grow up. The live-action/animated fantasy film is written, directed, and co-produced by Krasinski, who also stars, as he wanted to create a movie his children could view.
If tells of a man who befriends a young girl who both have the ability to see people’s imaginary friends (IFs). She then goes on a magical adventure where she tries to connect IFs with new children after the previous ones have outgrown them.
IF premieres in theaters on May 17, 2024.
Reynolds posted a humorous announcement regarding the family-friendly film.
