“[Carell] happens to be a dear friend,” Krasinski says in the video. “We actually worked together on this little thing a long time ago.”

The footage captures Krasinski and Carell embracing in a recording studio. “So good to see you,” Krasinski says. “Oh my Lord,” Carell responds. “I was just telling you guys — has it been years?” Krasinski asks. “I’m glad we’re getting it,” Carell jokes, pointing to the camera. “This is so intimate.”

“I just love that this is the fifth take and you did great on this,” Krasinski said, causing Carell to head back to the door for a retake of their greeting. “So anyway, I haven’t seen Steve in geez, it’s gotta be —.” The filmmaker takes a sip of water as Carell comes back into the room and shouts, “Oh my gosh!” That causes Krasinski to do a spit take for the camera. “You look very nice, by the way,” Krasinski comments. “You do too. Anyway…” Carell responds.

IF explores a world where children’s imaginary friends (or IFs, for short) are real. Carell plays the main IF named Blue.

Carell and Krasinski starred on The Office together for seven seasons from 2005 to 2011.

IF also stars Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, Louis Gossett Jr., Matt Damon, George Clooney, Maya Rudolph, Bradley Cooper, Amy Schumer, Blake Lively, Awkwafina, Richard Jenkins, Krasinski, and his wife, Emily Blunt. The film is in theaters May 17.
