The ‘A Quiet Place’ Trailer Utilizes Horror’s Greatest Weapon: Sound
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.

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.
