Emily Blunt Confirms John Krasinski Is Writing ‘A Quiet Place Part III’ Now: “I’m Excited About All of It”
A Quiet Place star Emily Blunt has confirmed that her husband, John Krasinski, is currently working on the script for A Quiet Place Part III.
“John is currently in his monastic writing cell, just dreaming it up,” Blunt tells Deadline with a chuckle. “He has barely told me anything, so I’m excited about all of it, really.”
The third installment in the post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror franchise is due out on July 9, 2027 via Paramount.
Krasinski is returning to write, direct, and produce, with Blunt expected to reprise her role as intrepid matriarch Evelyn Abbott.
A Quiet Place follows a family that must navigate their lives in silence to avoid mysterious creatures that hunt by sound. Released in 2018, the smash hit grossed $340 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.
A Quiet Place Part II followed in 2021, pulling in $297 million worldwide. In the sequel, the Abbott family continue their fight for survival in silence, now facing the terrors of the outside world.
Most recently, A Quiet Place: Day One made $261 million worldwide last year. The spinoff prequel finds a young woman trapped in New York City during the early stages of an invasion by alien creatures.
Stay tuned for more news on A Quiet Place Part III as we learn it.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
