A Quiet Place 2, the sequel to John Krasinki’s hit science-fiction horror movie A Quiet Place that was released in April this year, is on the way. The first movie, starring Emily Blunt and the director himself, was hugely popular with fans and critics. Following in the first film’s success, a sequel with Paramount Pictures has been confirmed. Although we don’t have any details about the project right now, we do have a release date.
The release date for the sequel to A Quiet Place has been announced for May 15, 2020. All other details are being kept under wraps right now, so we can only speculate about the plot for the movie. Speaking with Deadline, John Krasinki did briefly discuss what he might like the sequel to focus on. He said:
“The thing that I loved in the movie, where my mind kept wandering as we were making it, was the question of who was on the other end of those fires, when the father lights the fire and in the distance those other fires light up. How did those people survive? How did that old man survive? In the extreme these characters are going through, there’s no room to think about that. They’re there, there’s an old man who’s about to scream, they just have to deal with that. I think it would be interesting to see what’s going on elsewhere at this same time.”
It has not yet been confirmed as to whether Krasinki will be in the director’s chair for the sequel, but in an interview in June producer Adam Form confirmed that he will definitely be involved. He said:
“Oh [Krasinski is] definitely involved. We’re lucky on this one. I’ve had movies where the studio says to you, ‘Here’s your date. Let’s go!’ and on this one we’re not rushing anything, which is amazing. So we’re gonna take our time, we’re gonna figure out where to go, but there is no rush on it and we’re just starting to talk about it. We’re figuring out what everyone’s involvement’s gonna be and what the actual next movie’s gonna be.”
If you haven’t yet seen the first movie, I would definitely recommend it. The story follows a family living in a post apocalyptic world in which extraterrestrial predators with extra-sensitive hearing are roaming. If they hear you, they hunt you. To survive, the family must remain silent and communicate through sign language and non-verbal gestures.
A Quiet Place 2 is coming on May 15, 2020.
