‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ – ‘Hereditary’ Actor Alex Wolff Joins the Cast
The next installment in Paramount’s hit horror franchise is A Quiet Place: Day One, and Deadline reports today that Alex Wolff (Hereditary) has joined the cast this week.
Previously announced, Lupita Nyong’o (Us) and Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things”) also star.
Fresh off 2021’s Nicolas Cage-starring Pig, an excellent revenge drama that bucks expectations at every turn, Michael Sarnoski is headed to A Quiet Place with the third installment in the franchise, said to be a spinoff movie that Sarnoski will be directing. A Quiet Place: Day One is currently scheduled to be unleashed in theaters on March 8, 2024.
No plot details are available at this time, but the upcoming spinoff is based on an original idea by John Krasinski, and it was written by Michael Sarnoski and Jeff Nichols.
Meanwhile, it’s expected that the Abbott family storyline will eventually become a trilogy with Krasinski recently teasing that he has ideas for the third film in the main series.
John Krasinski will produce alongside Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller via Platinum Dunes. A Quiet Place Part II, opened to $57 million at the domestic box office in May 2021 and has earned $297 million worldwide, making it easy to see why this franchise is expanding.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
