New Images Invite You into ‘A Quiet Place’
We suppose it’s only fitting that there hasn’t been all that much chatter about A Quiet Place, an upcoming horror film written and directed by, as well as starring, John Krasinski (“The Office”). The premise is intriguing, to say the least: there’s *something* lurking outside a family’s home, and noise is what attracts it to their location.
In this film, in other words, silence isn’t golden. It’s survival.
IGN got their hands on a batch of images from A Quiet Place today, which you can check out below. Also be sure to read their chat with Krasinski to learn more about this one.
“Silence is absolutely a character in the movie, along with each family member,” Krasinski told the site. “It is sort of the magic trick of the movie. Could we make a silent movie? One of the fears was ‘Can we pull this off?’ and I’m happy to say that we did. Silence was going to take on this very palpable discomfort in and of itself. The idea of silence can be jarring in many ways, and so off-putting, that it gives the movie a tone that other movies don’t have.”
In the film…
A family lives an isolated existence in utter silence, for fear of an unknown threat that follows and attacks at any sound.
Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds also star.
Michael Bay produced along with his partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods wrote the original draft of the script.
Paramount Pictures will release A Quiet Place on April 6, 2018.
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
