‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Brings the Franchise to New York City in 2024
Filming kicked off back in February on A Quiet Place: Day One, and some first-look footage from the film was already shown off by Paramount during CinemaCon this afternoon.
The next installment in Paramount’s hit horror franchise, A Quiet Place: Day One is set to be a universe-expanding spinoff movie and it’s arriving in theaters on March 8, 2024.
The CinemaCon footage – which likely will not be making its way online anytime soon – confirms that A Quiet Place: Day One is set in a new location: New York City!
Discussing Film reports that the first footage “shows Lupita Nyong’o’s character in a bus as meteors crash into New York on Day One of the invasion.”
As the title suggests, Day One is definitely a PREQUEL tale.
Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things”) and Alex Wolff (Hereditary) also star. Michael Sarnoski (Pig) is headed to A Quiet Place to direct the brand new movie.
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.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
