The 2018 film A Quiet Place has blossomed into quite a successful horror franchise, with two entries in total, a third film already in development, and a prequel spinoff coming later this year. And while very little is known about the plot of the spinoff, it appears that A Quiet Place: Day One will incorporate a few stylistic changes to keep things fresh.
A Quiet Place: Day One Star Alex Wolff Teases a Tonal Shift for the Prequel Film
Speaking with Discussing Film, actor Alex Wolff commented on the upcoming Quiet Place spinoff film being more drama than horror, divulging, "That's not a horror movie, not really. I might get in trouble for saying that. It's from the director of Pig, this film I did, so it's very… It's more a drama. It's weird going from a $2 million movie to a $100 million movie and working with the same director and in the same proximity [as the other actors]. There's only about four or five characters in it. So it was kinda like making Pig, just on a massive scale."
In March 2023, Writer Scott Beck addressed the prequel by explaining, "I mean the Quiet Place spinoff that's shooting right now. Michael Sarnoski is just an incredible filmmaker and kind of has that great tonality that he showed in his movie Pig. And to carry on that legacy is just incredibly exciting for us. As much as we know about the story, we're also eager to see in other people's hands where it really goes. So if our career becomes just birthing a bunch of franchises, then we're happy with that! [Laughs]." Beck's collaborative partner and original A Quiet Place writer Bryan Woods added, "I think people are going to be excited for this movie. There's some really cool stuff and cool ideas. It's going to be great."
A Quiet Place: Day One will be released on June 28, 2024, and A Quiet Place: Part III is expected to be released in 2025.
