The family communicates with sign language, and they’ve rearranged every part of their environment to reduce noise. The filmmakers mostly don’t artificially amplify or silence the world, but characters are so quiet that any sound at ordinary volume becomes a jump scare. The pair retreats to a farmhouse with their son (Noah Jupe) and daughter (Millicent Simmonds), and when they conceive another child, they begin making elaborate preparations for the nigh-impossible task of raising the baby. A few humans survive, including a nameless couple played by Krasinski and Emily Blunt (who are married in real life). While the creatures are blind, their hearing is so keen that a shattering plate, the thump of boots, or any speech above a whisper could draw them. In the very near future, a species of large, seemingly unkillable spider-like monsters appears and wipes out most of humanity. But it’s more effective as a portrait of a family that’s constructed a deceptively peaceful life under the constant, inescapable threat of death.Ī Quiet Place is open about its premise, but sparing with the details. The film hits all the necessary beats for a straightforward horror film in an eerie post-apocalyptic setting. Given the films’ post-apocalyptic setting, we can only imagine what challenges the Abbott family will face if A Quiet Place Part III does come together.After the premiere of A Quiet Place at SXSW, the film’s director, John Krasinski, explained that he picked up the script after a simple pitch: “What if it’s a family, and they can’t make noise, and you have to figure out why?” This explanation goes a long way toward illustrating A Quiet Place’s goals. However, it’s clear he doesn’t consider the story necessarily finished either. Granted, Krasinski doesn’t offer any details about how A Quiet Place Part II might naturally lead to a second sequel. And so this time, I think when my brain started wandering to questions of what would this mean later on, I started to write down notes in case I could prepare myself for a third one. So then when I actually came around to writing the sequel, I started with the fires.

I put the fires out in the distance in the first one, and I always thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we got to explore where those fires lead to? Who’s on the other end of those fires?” But I never thought that there would be a sequel. However, I really had these questions while I was doing it. It’s interesting, I genuinely hadn’t thought about a second one when I was doing the first one. In a recent chat with Collider, he shared a bit of his creative process, which includes identifying potential story threads for a third film. So it makes sense why Paramount would choose to hold on to the film until a later date.Ī post shared by John Krasinski John Krasinski is already mulling the third chapterĮven though A Quiet Place Part II currently has no release date, Krasinski is already developing a plan going forward. And from a business perspective, the justifiable worry and trepidation out there would probably cut into the movie’s profits. From a healthcare standpoint, gathering hundreds of fans in auditoriums across the nation isn’t the best idea right now. Given the circumstances, it’s hard to argue with this decision. Krasinski himself confirmed the film’s international release was being put on hold indefinitely. Due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, A Quiet Place II has been pulled from its planned Marelease date. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and John Krasinski at the ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ premiere | Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for Paramount Pictures Fans have to wait to see ‘A Quiet Place Part II’Īs A Quiet Place fans have probably heard by now, the franchise has hit a speed bump of sorts. Now he is already looking ahead to what comes next. He even had to persuade co-star and real-life wife Emily Blunt that A Quiet Place Part II was worth pursuing. Still, Krasinski never approached the first film with a franchise in mind. So, of course, a sequel is on the way after that profit margin. Lauded by fans and critics, the film went on to earn $340 million worldwide against a $17 million production budget. Yet, director/star John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place became a massive success when it hit theaters back in 2018. A near-silent horror film doesn’t feel like an easy sell nowadays.
