John Krasinski says he's open to the idea of A Quiet Place. The widely-acclaimed film starred Krasinski and Emily Blunt (who are married in real life) as a couple who try to protect and teach their children how to survive in a world that's been overrun by powerful creatures that are blind, yet hunt by using sound.
A Quiet Place was an immediate success at the box office too, which is why Paramount put a sequel into development less than a month after its release. Krasinski eventually committed to writing and directing most anticipated movies of the whole year, horror or otherwise.
Speaking to Total Film (via their sister publication, when he pitched the second film.
As Krasinski pointed out, one of many things people liked about the first A Quiet Place was its lack of obvious setup for a sequel. Instead, the movie told a standalone story (one that uses the monster genre to explore the challenges of parenthood) that would've worked just as well as a standalone film as it would the beginning of a larger saga. It sounds like A Quiet Place 2 tries to do the same thing, building on its predecessor's narrative and themes without banking on there being a third chapter. In a time when many (most?) original studio movies are developed with the intention of kicking off a franchise, Krasinski's one-step-at-a-time approach is a refreshing change of pace.
potential directions for the film or, if not that, ideas he would like to explore further. For the time being, though, it's good to know he's more focused on making A Quiet Place 2 as great as it can be first.
