Lupita Nyong’o is leaving Wakanda for somewhere much, much quieter: the Black Panther actress has been cast in A Quiet Place: Day One, a spinoff of John Krasinski’s 2018 directorial debut A Quiet Place. Though A Quiet Place: Day One is based on an idea by Krasinski — in which protagonists must fend off extraterrestrials with hypersensitive hearing — this seems to be a standalone movie rather than a continuation of the storyline that starred Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Michael Sarnoski will instead be taking the director’s seat in the follow-up to his 2021 breakout Pig. He took over when the original director attached to the project, Jeff Nichols, departed back in October 2021. While the third film in the Quiet Place franchise has yet to make its storyline heard, we ...
Pig director and writer Michael Sarnoski is going from the touching, delicate drama of his breakout film to the sci-fi horror of the A Quiet Place franchise. As first reported by Deadline, Sarnoski is in negotiations to take over the film, which is being described as more of a spinoff than a sequel. Jeff Nichols (Mud, Midnight Special) was previously attached to write and direct the currently untitled project, but left in October to focus on a different sci-fi movie. John Krasinksi wrote, directed, and starred in the first two Quiet Place installments, but neither he nor Emily Blunt is expected to reprise their acting roles. Prior to the Nicolas Cage-starring Pig, one of the best films of 2021, Sarnoski directed episodes of TV series like Olympia and Fight Night Legacy. He could ...

The highly anticipated sequel to A Quiet Place still has yet to be released, but that’s not stopping Paramount Pictures from anticipating what should follow it. According to Deadline, the studio has reportedly chosen Jeff Nichols (Mud, Midnight Special) to write and direct a third movie for the franchise. A Quiet Place 3 — a stand-in for the actual title, which has not been announced — is currently scheduled for a 2022 release date. Luckily, Nichols has a lot of options when it comes to riffing on John Krasinski’s original idea, considering the first movie introduced a desolate, frightening, post-apocalyptic version of the modern world but offered no explanations as to how it got that way. Plus, we never learned how the hearing-sensitive monsters came to be either. Nichols w...
