John Krasinski revealed what excited him the most about writing the story of A Quiet Place: Day One alongside director Michael Sarnoski. Opening up about creating a brand new world that hasn’t been explored before, he shared, “It was time to explore how the rest of the world was dealing with this crisis.”
He further elaborated, “I especially wondered how people in a big city like New York – with all the chaos and noise there, all the millions of people, would respond. I wanted to take a place we all know and put it in extraordinary circumstances. New York City, whether you’ve been there or not, whether you like it or not, is instantly familiar. And in a world where murderous creatures can appear at any time, from any place they detect a noise, New York is not the best place to be. Seeing Michael take that idea and run with it has been every bit as satisfying. I loved watching every second of it.”
A Quiet Place: Day One takes place before the events of the previous two films. A woman named Sam must survive an invasion in New York City by bloodthirsty alien creatures with ultrasonic sound hearing.
The film is set to release in theatres on June 28, 2024.
