Smash hits at the box office mean sequels aren’t far behind, and as we reported several months back, John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place is indeed getting one.

We’ve learned tonight that Paramount has dated the film for May 15, 2020.

Speaking with Collider, Platinum Dunes’ Andrew Form recently updated on the sequel.

“Oh [Krasinski is] definitely involved. We’re lucky on this one,” Form told the site. “I’ve had movies where the studio says to you, ‘Here’s your date. Let’s go!’ and on this one we’re not rushing anything, which is amazing. So we’re gonna take our time, we’re gonna figure out where to go, but there is no rush on it and we’re just starting to talk about it. We’re figuring out what everyone’s involvement’s gonna be and what the actual next movie’s gonna be. The first one is so special to us that we really want to take our time with this and not rush anything.”

He continued, “It’s such a special movie to us, the experience and everything. It’s easy to rush these and we’ve made movies in the past where we’ve rushed them through and we’ve felt it, and we just don’t wanna do it on this one. We really don’t. We really just wanna take our time and as long as it takes, it takes. It has to be the right story, just like the first one. It just has to be.”

Recently, Krasinski himself had talked about opening up the world in A Quiet Place 2.

‘Bear Country’ – Russell Crowe Re-Teaming with ‘Unhinged’ Director

One of the very few theatrical releases in the very early days of the pandemic, Derrick Borte’s Unhinged managed to make $44 million at the box office at a time when audiences weren’t exactly eager to get back into theaters, the film offering an action-packed, explosively violent bit of exploitation with Russell Crowe as the title character, a road rage-fueled madman.

Four years later, Derrick Borte and Russell Crowe are reteaming for a new action-thriller titled Bear Country, but the bad news here is that it’s not a Russell Crowe vs. Bears movie.

Deadline details, “Crowe will play ageing but formidable club owner, Manco Kapak who has been robbed by a masked gunman. Now, his aspirations of selling his club and riding off into the sunset alongside his girlfriend appear more distant than ever.

In the upcoming film, “Cartel bosses are breathing down his neck and a young upstart has been posing as the new guy in town eager to purchase the club.”

Derrick Borte and Daniel Forte (American Dreamer) wrote the screenplay for Bear Country, which was based on the Thomas Perry novel titled Strip.

Borte said in a statement, “After the great experience we shared on Unhinged, I’d been looking for another project with Russell – one that would allow him to show more of what so many people (including myself) loved so much about Jackson Healy in The Nice Guys – and we both immediately knew that Bear Country was the one.”
