Paramount is taking us back to A Quiet Place with the upcoming prequel movie A Quiet Place: Day One, which is set to expand the universe of John Krasinski’s hit horror franchise.
While we wait for the movie’s first trailer – it’s rumored to be coming during the Super Bowl this Sunday! – Entertainment Weekly has shared two first-look images this morning.
EW details the upcoming spinoff movie’s prequel storyline, “Lupita Nyong’o stars as Sam, a woman who’s on a day trip to New York City when the monsters arrive.
“As everything quickly goes to hell, she’s thrown together with a man named Eric (Joseph Quinn). With some reluctance, the pair agree to navigate and survive the city together.”
As for the cat, it belongs to Nyongo’s Sam. And its name is Frodo. EW also reveals that Djimon Hounsou, who appeared in A Quiet Place Part II, will reprise his role in Day One.
A Quiet Place: Day One will make noise in theaters on June 28, 2024.
Lupita Nyong’o (Us), Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things”) and Alex Wolff (Hereditary) star. Michael Sarnoski (Pig) is headed to A Quiet Place to direct the brand new movie.
No plot details are available at this time, but the upcoming spinoff is based on an original idea by John Krasinski, and it was written by Michael Sarnoski and Jeff Nichols.
Meanwhile, it’s expected that the Abbott family storyline will eventually become a trilogy with Krasinski recently teasing that he has ideas for the third film in the main series.
John Krasinski will produce alongside Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller via Platinum Dunes. A Quiet Place Part II opened to $57 million at the domestic box office in May 2021 and has earned $297 million worldwide, making it easy to see why this franchise is expanding.
