    What’s the story of ‘A Quiet Place so far’?

    Originally conceived and scripted by Bryan Woods and Scott Beck (with Krasinski working on the script when he agreed to direct and star), the first ‘A Quiet Place’ follows a family (Krasinski, real-life wife Emily Blunt and two kids) surviving in the aftermath of an alien invasion by blind aliens with incredibly powerful hearing who hunt and kill humans.

    That movie enjoyed $50.2 million opening weekend, and a near $153M domestic and $341M global take, and received an Oscar nomination for Sound Editing.

    Blunt, alongside young co-stars Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds returned for the sequel, ‘A Quiet Place: Part II’, written and directed by Krasinski, with Murphy joining the cast.

    It saw its release pushed due to Covid, but brought the box office back alive during Memorial Day weekend 2021 with a $57M four-day start, ending with a $160M domestic and $297.3M global haul. A prequel, ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, arrived in 2024, directed by Michael Sarnoski.

    When will ‘A Quiet Place: Part III’ be on screens?

    The movie is set for a July 30, 2027 release date.

    • John Krasinski will write, direct and produce ‘A Quiet Place: Part III’
    • The story is being kept quiet for now.
    • Paramount will release the movie in 2027.

    While John Krasinski has already previously announced development on the third instalment of the post-apocalyptic alien invasion ‘A Quiet Place’ movies, we had still been waiting for confirmation of whether he’d be back after handing the reins of spin-off ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ to ‘Pig’ filmmaker Michael Sarnoski.

    But Krasinski has now hit Instagram to announce he’s officially writing, directing and producing ‘A Quiet Place Part III’.

    Beyond that, we don’t know much (see below for wild speculation), but at least we do now have some forward movement on the movies, with presumably some delay happening while backers Paramount figured out their merger with Skydance (which is set to be sealed this week).

    Last summer, ‘A Quiet Place: Day One,’ the aforementioned prequel spin-off set in an apocalyptic New York City ravaged by the aliens during the initial invasion, starred Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, debuted to $52.2M and ended up with $139M domestic and $262M global.

    What will happen in the new ‘A Quiet Place’ movie?

    With Krasinski back, we’d be shocked if it didn’t continue the story of Blunt, Jupe and Simmonds’ characters (Krasinski’s unlikely to return unless through flashbacks because –– spoiler alert! –– he died in the first movie).

    Quite what they might get up to is anyone’s guess at this point (though hopefully Krasinski has some more solid info, since he’s scripting and directing!) The second film left the main characters on an island having discovered a way to hurt and potentially kill the creatures with sound frequencies, so that may well factor in.

    And could it completely pivot to a different story? The world of ‘A Quiet Place’ is a big one so… maybe? But we’re guessing for now Krasinski’s focus will be on the characters he helped bring to screens.

    When will ‘A Quiet Place Part III’ be on screens?

    Per Krasinski’s post, the third outing for the main ‘A Quiet Place’ movie series will look to scare us in summer 2027, confirming a July 9th, 2027 release date.

  • Lupita Nyong’o Starring in ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’

    She’s been part of the ‘Star Wars’ sequels. Starred in more than one Marvel movie. And thanks to both ‘Queen of Katwe’ and Jon Favreau’s ‘The Jungle Book’, Lupita Nyong’o can claim full Disney move status to boot.

    So are there any more franchise worlds for her to conquer? Plenty, as it turns out – and she’s starting with Paramount’s ‘A Quiet Place’.

    More specifically, the actor has been cast in the spin-off from the John Krasinski-overseen series of sci-fi movies called ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’.

    You’ll recall that the movies started life with ‘A Quiet Place’ in 2018, after writers Bryan Woods and Scott Beck cooked up the idea of an invading alien species that arrives from the stars. The ravenous creatures are blind, but blessed with incredibly heightened hearing, and driven to attack any human making sounds.

    Krasinski did a pass on the script and then agreed to direct, co-starring with wife Emily Blunt and young actors Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe, playing a family dealing with the aftermath of the invasion and the imminent arrival of a newborn.

    The movie was a big success and was followed by ‘A Quiet Place: Part II’ in 2020, which focused on Blunt, Simmonds and Jupe’s characters in the tragic wake of the first movie. Krasinski returned to write and direct and appears as (spoiler alert) an ill-fated character in a prologue set during day one of the aliens’ arrival.

    And that has spurred the creation of this spin-off movie, which will be set in the same world but follow different characters.

    Since Krasinski is busy with other projects (he’s currently directing a fantasy film called ‘Imaginary Friends’, in which he appears alongside Ryan Reynolds and Steve Carell), the job of directing ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ has gone to another director.

    Originally, that was to be ‘Midnight Special’ and ‘Mud’s Jeff Nichols, but one of his own movies drew him away from the spin-off.

    A replacement was found in ‘Pig’ director Michael Sarnoski, working from a script by Krasinski and Nichols.

    Little is known about the new movie beyond its setting and the idea that it’ll chronicle people attempting to survive this post-apocalyptic new world beyond the original family. It seems unlikely that Blunt’s Evelyn Abbott will appear.

    But we can look forward to her return in a third main ‘A Quiet Place’ film, which isn’t expected until 2025 (not surprising given Krasinski’s schedule). Paramount is hoping to keep building on the movies, with more spin-offs likely if ‘Day One’ is a success.

    Nyong’o will be back on our screens as Nakia in Marvel sequel ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, which will be out on Friday, November 11th.

    ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, meanwhile, is scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 8th, 2024.
