Proving wrong the old adage that nice guys finish last, American actor John Krasinski is way ahead of the game. If Jenna Fischer, his costar on NBC’s The Office, is considered the quintessential Girl Next Door, then John is the Boy Next Door. John Burke Krasinski was born in Boston, Massachusetts on October 20th, 1979. He is the son of Polish-American internist Dr. Ronald Krasinski, and Irish-American nurse Mary Clare Doyle. John and his two older brothers, Kevin and Paul, were raised in the suburb of Newton, Massachusetts, and regularly attended Roman Catholic Mass. At Newton High School, one of John’s classmates was B.J. Novak, who would , years later, costar with John on The Office (as well as write and co-produce the series).

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Nine

Shanghai

Opens: 2010

Cast: John Cusack, Gong Li, Ken Watanabe, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chow Yun-Fat

Director: Mikael Hafstrom

Summary: In the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, an American man arrives in Shanghai to find his friend recently murdered. In investigating his friend's death, he stumbles upon a secret the United States government has been keeping and falls in love in the process.

Analysis: After being granted permission to shoot in the Chinese city, the $10 million production found its permit quickly being revoked by the Government who expressed concerns about the script. The result is Bangkok and the United Kingdom standing in for the real Shanghai which seems kind of against the entire point.

Cusack himself has emphatically endorsed the project in interviews, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity", but being stuck at the cash-strapped Weinstein Company means that its release plans are unsure beyond a vague promise of a limited bow around Easter. »
