Emily Blunt and John Krasinski to co-star in a new thriller

One of our all-time favourite Hollywood couples are taking their ~lurve~ to the big screen!

The Devil Wears Prada actress, Emily Blunt, and her Office alum husband have teamed up for a brand spanking new thriller called A Quiet Place.

While the spouses and parents-of-two have previously appeared on-screen together in 2011’s The Muppets, it’s the first time they’ll actually co-star in the same scenes.

It’s a milestone the 37-year-old has been looking forward to for a long time.

“I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, ‘Oh god, I think I’m going to fall in love with her.’ As I shook her hand I went, ‘I like you,” John told Ellen DeGeneres of the first time he met his wife.

In December, the three-time filmmaker told Entertainment Tonight that he’d love to direct his wife, should the right project present itself.

“We’ve always wanted to work together, but it’s just about finding the right story and also finding a story that’s unique and specific enough that the story itself will be a better story than just the idea of us working together,” he said, adding: “And that’s somewhat difficult to find, if that makes any sense.”

“We want the narrative to be the movie itself, not overwhelmingly just that we’re married and we worked together.”

A release date is yet to be revealed, however The Hollywood Reporter reports that the supernatural thriller will tell the story of a family who reside on a farm terrorised by evil. Sounds pretty romantic, if you ask us!

The dad to the couple’s daughters Hazel, three, and Violet, nine-months, recently spoke out about the undying adoration he feels for his wife of almost seven years.

“I don’t know who meets Emily Blunt and doesn’t hope that you get to become her husband. So, that was pretty immediate for me,” he told ET late last year.

Opening up on the trials of marriage, he went on: “Marriage has always been an incredibly sacred thing that you’re hoping gets to come your way and something where you get to share happiness with someone else, so I’ve always respected the idea of marriage and wanted to get married.

“I will say it’s tough. It’s a big commitment and it’s hard to look at these different people through that lens, because it’s an intense lens to put anybody under.

“But Emily, through any lens, is someone that you just pinch yourself that you even get to be around her, let alone married to her.”

^No you’re crying.
