It’s not like Alien or Jaws where the main villain is the thing you’re repeating it’s an actual entire set of rules and the circumstance that the world has undergone that you can play in very different facets.”
This isn’t just a character to remake – it’s actually a world, which is a whole different, very unique experience. With A Quiet Place 2, we have the world”, he said. “Most sequels are about a villain returning or a hero returning, and you have to build this entire world around just the idea that I have a hero or a villain. Krasinski enforced that the sequel will move away, even if slightly, from the Abbott Family to focus on other survivors of the apocalyptic event that wiped out most of humanity and animal life in an extra-terrestrial attack by sightless creatures with hypersensitive hearing. Unlike sequels to other big, hit films, the director of both, John Krasinski has been pretty vocal in divulging details about the second chapter of the aural horror film, 2018’s runaway success, ‘A Quiet Place’. So, while we await the film’s release next year, we have compiled all that we know of the second chapter in the write-up for you as a ready reference. This is also one of the rare cases where it feels rather warranted, since the first film ended on such a surprisingly unconventional note. Needless to say, when ‘A Quiet Place’ won over the box office by raking in more than 20 times its budget, more than rave reviews and even Oscar nominations to its name, a sequel had to be ordered by the producers.
Don’t get me wrong, since I completely love both movies, but sometimes, an affirmation of faith is needed. With its super stellar star cast and ten years of franchise building, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t rooting for ‘Avatar’ to stay where it was. Perhaps this is the reason why I was mildly discontent when ‘ Avengers: Endgame’ took over ‘ Avatar’ at the box office some weeks ago to become the highest-grossing film of all time. Truly, original movies are a dying breed today, so when the audience rallies for a film made on a modest budget and makes it win, kind of like an underdog story, it does restore lost faith. Just pure viewing pleasure, and in this case, horror and thrill, that made it succeed at the box office. In saying this, it is films like ‘ A Quiet Place’-no backstory, no build-up, no unnecessary hype, no stellar line-up of A-list stars (even if the leads are A-list and stellar in themselves), and no humongous budgets mirroring the GDP of a few small countries, and the entailing marketing costs, the breaking even and risk assessment and their inherent success guided by the public-that helps me retain that faith.
