Cast of a quiet place7/6/2023 I realized when that promise is broken, that’s what growing up is… So if the first one is a love letter to my kids, then this is a weird letter to my kids about the dream that I have for them. “That’s a promise that I think all parents know will be broken. “The first one is about the promise you make as a parent, that if you stick with me, I can keep you safe forever,” Kransinski says. The idea that possessed Krasinski, to the point where, on a Hawaiian beach he persuaded Blunt to return, was always about Simmonds’s Regan: a resilient young woman who, like the actor portraying her, is hearing impaired. But the oldest of them, Regan (Millicent Simmonds), has never been one to follow her parents’ path. Alone in the world, matriarch Evelyn (Blunt) has a newborn – who they must keep quiet at all times – in her arms and two young children to protect. Lee Abbott (Krasinski) is dead, and his family is left to wander the wilderness after strange aliens who lack sight (but have horrifyingly adept hearing) eviscerated their farm. Titled A Quiet Place Part II-Blunt’s suggestion, since it feels as much like the next chapter as a standalone-the new film begins in earnest mere hours after the events of the last movie. Afterward, Blunt could only concede, “So I’m going to be in the movie.” “And I was like, ‘Cool, I’m not going to be in the movie.’ And he was like, ‘Oh no, I know that.’” He then revealed the first scene is a flashback of the Abbott family before the events of A Quiet Place, enjoying a greater moment of peace than we’ve ever seen with them. “I remember him pitching me the opening,” she says. One which he couldn’t shake until the day he shared it with Blunt. “There was that feeling of wanting to preserve the first one.” In the early days of the earlier film’s success, she said no, and Krasinski told Paramount Pictures to court other writers… and yet, that kernel of a vision persisted for Krasinski. “I was the one who was even more steadfast about not coming back,” Blunt says. But as Blunt told us when we sat down a year (and lifetime) ago in New York’s Dolby SoHo, once Krasinski gets a new idea, it’s the damnedest thing. In fact, it was initially shared by her husband, writer-director-actor John Krasinski, who, like his wife, was skeptical about the prospect of making a follow-up, even in our modern era of shared universes. But back then, in the lush jungles of Hawaii and filming opposite Dwayne Johnson, she was a million miles from the hushed hell endured by the Abbott family in A Quiet Place, which was just becoming the surprise horror hit of 2018. The rest of the cast includes Hereditary and Jumanji: The Next Level star Alex Wolff and Shazam! Fury of the Gods actor and Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou, who has already featured in this post-apocalyptic tale as the Man on the Island in 2020s A Quiet Place Part II.Emily Blunt was in a different place three years ago. No doubt much chaos will ensue.ĭirected by Michael Sarnoski, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jeff Nichols, and based on an original story by John Krasinski, A Quiet Place: Day One will be led by Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o alongside Stranger Things standout Joseph Quinn. Plot details for A Quiet Place: Day One are currently a mystery, but based on the title it is expected that the prequel will detail what happened on the first day that the alien beasts with super-hearing crashed down on Earth and began to devour humans.
