‘A Quiet Place’ Spinoff Dated for 2023 Release by Paramount!
As we learned last year, a third A Quiet Place movie is already in the works, with Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) on board to direct a tale based on an idea by John Krasinski.
Tonight, it was revealed that the next installment is actually a “spinoff” and not the third entry in the franchise. In addition, Paramount Pictures has also dated the film for March 31, 2023.
“The pic is very early in development and simply being billed as the next installment, broadening the post-apocalyptic world introduced in the first two movies,” added Deadline.
Nichols is writing and directing, and as suspected, this new movie isn’t a sequel to the storyline of the first two films but rather a universe-expanding spinoff.
Meanwhile, it’s expected that the Abbott family storyline will eventually become a trilogy with Krasinski recently teasing that he has ideas for the continuation.
Released in 2018, A Quiet Place was a massive hit for Paramount, introducing a post-apocalyptic world wherein monsters roam free… and if you make a sound, they will find you.
A Quiet Place Part II (read our review) continues the storyline from the first movie, starring Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe, and is another box office hit, kicking off the summer movie season with a whopping $58 million opening over the 4-day holiday ($48.38M over the weekend), nearly matching the first film’s $50M opening that propelled it to a monstrous $340M global total.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
