If they can’t hear you, they can’t hunt you.
In Paramount Pictures’ A Quiet Place directed by and starring “The Office’s” John Krasinski’s, a man and his wife (played by real-life couple Krasinski and Emily Blunt) stay silent in order to protect their family from creature lurking in the woods. The trailer is near-silent, an awesome exercise in the use of sound in a horror film. There’s a bit of irony here as there’s no dialogue, but what you’ll see is how potent the sound design is when shrouded in complete silence. Yes, horror’s ultimate weapon is the use of sound, even in a film with next to no dialogue.
Noah Jupe (Suburbicon) and Millicent Simmonds (Wonderstruck) round out the cast.
Michael Bay will produce along with his partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods wrote the earlier draft. Krasinski and his Sunday Night partner Allyson Seeger will serve as executive producers alongside Beck and Woods.
Paramount Pictures will release A Quiet Place on April 6, 2018.
