John Krasinski has returned to the director’s chair for A Quiet Place 2, with the actor/filmmaker announcing on Twitter that filming has begun on the 2020 sequel today!
At this time it’s being referred to simply as “Part II.”
What do we know about the film? Well, it has been confirmed that Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe will reprise their roles from the first film, with Brian Tyree Henry (Child’s Play) and Cillian Murphy joining them this time around.
Krasinski, who also wrote the follow-up for Paramount, recently noted that he doesn’t see it quite as a sequel so much as an expansion on the world he took us into last year.
“I think that we’re going to get a few answers to the origin of where and how this whole thing happened,” Brian Tyree Henry told Indiewire in June, suggesting we’ll be learning more about this particular apocalypse next year. “I think that people want to know that. But I think you’re just going to see another side of it…more of humanity that survived this thing in this next story.”
We’ll head back to a Quiet Place on March 20, 2020.
