The ‘A Quiet Place’ Trailer Utilizes Horror’s Greatest Weapon: Sound
If they can’t hear you, they can’t hunt you.
In Paramount Pictures’ A Quiet Place directed by and starring “The Office’s” John Krasinski’s, a man and his wife (played by real-life couple Krasinski and Emily Blunt) stay silent in order to protect their family from creature lurking in the woods. The trailer is near-silent, an awesome exercise in the use of sound in a horror film. There’s a bit of irony here as there’s no dialogue, but what you’ll see is how potent the sound design is when shrouded in complete silence. Yes, horror’s ultimate weapon is the use of sound, even in a film with next to no dialogue.
Noah Jupe (Suburbicon) and Millicent Simmonds (Wonderstruck) round out the cast.
Michael Bay will produce along with his partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods wrote the earlier draft. Krasinski and his Sunday Night partner Allyson Seeger will serve as executive producers alongside Beck and Woods.
Paramount Pictures will release A Quiet Place on April 6, 2018.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
