The next instalment in Paramount's nail-biting A Quiet Place franchise will take us back to the beginning.
During the studio's CinemaCon presentation, it was announced that Pig director Michael Sarnoski's spinoff will actually be a prequel, titled A Quiet Place: Day One. Sarnoski was brought in as a replacement for Midnight Special director Jeff Nichols, who dropped out for undisclosed reasons.
The movie will, presumably, recount the alien creatures' initial arrival on Earth and decimation of the populace. We saw how this played out for the Abbot family at the start of Part II, so there's a good chance Day One will focus on an entirely new set of characters.
A direct follow-up, A Quiet Place: Part III, is also in development, with John Krasinski set to return as director. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe and Cillian Murphy are expected to reprise their roles.
Part II was the first post-pandemic theatrical-only release, and ended up taking in over $297 million at the worldwide box office. The movie also garnered rave reviews (you can check out ours here), and sits at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.
