Original Version of ‘A Quiet Place’ Script Opened With an Extended Scene Set Way Before the Invasion
The opening scene for A Quiet Place, one of this year’s best horror films, is immediately compelling, introducing us to the Abbot family and wasting no time ushering us right into the horrifying situation they’ve found themselves in. At the end of this opening sequence, one of the Abbot children is killed by a monster, and the film then jumps to one year later.
But the original script for A Quiet Place, before John Krasinski came on board to work on the script and direct the film, had quite a different opening. As producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form just revealed in a chat with Yahoo, it originally opened *before* the invasion.
“There was more dialogue in the original screenplay, because there was an enormous flashback sequence that was removed from the film once John took over,” the producers told the outlet. “[It showed what life was like] way before the invasion.”
The duo also noted that the film’s first death, the death of one of the children, was originally shown in flashback rather than real time, and it was unconnected to the alien invasion.
“It was a different character completely,” Fuller added. “That character was not in the movie.”
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint, and a brand new official poster has been unleashed this morning.
Additionally, a new Fall 2 trailer is promised for tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Releasing in theaters on September 2, 2026, horror sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint is rated PG-13 for “strong language, some violent content/bloody images and drug material.”
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair. The first Fall was a surprise hit in theaters, scaring up $18 million at the worldwide box office back in 2022.
