Now, A quiet place fans can look forward to another new movie in what appears to be a fast-paced franchise. In addition to directing the spinoff film, Nichols will also be writing the screenplay (via The Hollywood Reporter). Nichols’ screenplay will be based on an idea from Krasinski, but details of the plot or potential casting are unknown. (For my part, I would love to see Nichols walk away from the Abbott family, which is so prominent in the first two films, and take bold steps to Cloverfield model to keep this franchise as fresh as possible.) Krasinski will be producing under his Sunday Night banner, with Michael bay, Andrew Form, and Brad fuller also producing through Platinum Dunes. Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the first two A quiet place films, has set a 2022 release date for the spin-off.

We may not know what A quiet place The spinoff story will look like, but involving Krasinski at the story level is already a big plus for the project. The multi-dash star hinted that he has plenty of ideas for future sequels to A quiet place. When Collider asked Krasinski about the possibility of A quiet place 3 earlier this year, he teased the likelihood of continuing the story as it branches off in new directions.

“It’s interesting, I really hadn’t thought of a second when I was doing the first. However, I really had these questions while I was doing it. I put the fires out in the distance in the first one, and I was always like, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we were to explore where these fires are leading? Who is on the other end of these fires? But I never thought there would be a sequel. So when I got to writing the sequel, I started with fires. And so this time, I think when my brain started to wander off with questions about what that would mean later, I started to write down notes in case I could prepare for a third.

A Quiet Place: Part II The theatrical release is still scheduled for April 23, 2021. To find out more, check out the new films that will hit theaters in 2021.
