By “Hereditary” and “Old” actor Alex Wolff says the upcoming “A Quiet Place” prequel spin-off, “A Quiet Place: Day One,” will serve as more of a drama than a horror film.
Based on an original idea by John Krasinski, and written by Michael Sarnoski and Jeff Nichols, the film will not deal with the Abbott family storyline of the main films.
Instead it unfolds against the larger backdrop of the universe set up in the two prior films and will follow a New York City woman in her fight for survival against blind aliens who hunts people by sound.
Wolff is joined by Lupita Nyong’o, Djimon Hounsou, Denis O’Hare and Joseph Quinn in the project which hails from filmmaker Michael Sarnoski who scored major critical acclaim for his Nic Cage-led 2021 film “Pig” which also starred Wolff.
Speaking with Discussing Film, Wolff talked about the film’s tone saying:
“That’s not a horror movie, not really. I might get in trouble for saying that. It’s from the director of Pig, this film I did, so it’s very… It’s more a drama. It’s weird going from a $2 million movie to a $100 million movie, and working with the same director and in the same proximity [as the other actors]. There’s only about four or five characters in it. So it was kinda like making Pig, just on a massive scale.”
Krasinski, Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will produce the film which arrives in cinemas in March 8th. A full ‘Part III’ entry is expected to be released in 2025.
