A QUIET PLACE 2 SHOWTIMES MOVIE
If the movie follows another family, it’ll just be a bland reworking of the first movie. We need that bad boy for A Quiet Place 2. If you close your eyes, hold a conch shell up to your ear, and listen real intently, you can probably hear a deluded studio executive saying at this very moment: “Can we get the nail back for the sequel? Susan! Call the nail people. If we know anything about sequels, it’s that movie studios and the filmmakers who can’t fight against them love to rehash the same ideas from the first movie to ensure some modicum of success. That stupid nail will probably make a return
The horror equivalent of that one friend who refuses to enjoy live music because the noise hurts their delicate little ears. But now that we know they’re just some weakass bitches scared of audio feedback? They’re kinda lame. The original conceit of A Quiet Place was vaguely scary because these monsters were mysterious and seemingly had no weakness. The fact we know all of this on top of what can actually kill them (a specific high frequency, shotgun blast to their soft spot, and the power of a family’s love, apparently) won’t make for a scary sequel.
A QUIET PLACE 2 SHOWTIMES SERIES
A series of foolishly printed newspaper clippings informed us that these underwhelming monsters (that honestly looked like Resident Evil rejects) are sensitive to noise and that the military tried and failed to destroy them.Ĭonsidering how noisy a printing press is to operate, we can only imagine all the staff (who were definitely slaughtered in action) would have used their final thought to wish they’d published this news quietly online instead. There’s heavy-handed exposition and then there’s A Quiet Place, which used a variety of bold background props to loudly inform the audience about the creatures and their strengths. We already know far too much about the creatures Woods also revealed he wouldn’t be against telling the story from the perspective of a completely different family, which could suggest Emily Blunt ( Edge of Tomorrow ), Millicent Simmonds ( Wonderstruck ), and Noah Jupe ( Wonder ) won’t return for the sequel.Ĭonsidering we enjoyed A Quiet Place about as much as standing on a conveniently placed rusty nail with our bare foot, we aren’t exactly cheering at the thought of another movie exploring the dense, occasionally confounding movie universe.
It’s just really, at the end of the day, who are the characters in this and what does this situation mean to that dynamic? So, yeah, there are certainly so many stories you could tell. There are so many discarded set pieces, too, just hiding out on Word documents on our computer. Apparently they also have a ready made set of unused ideas from the first movie to play with. Recently screenwriters Bryan Woods & Scott Beck ( Nightlight ) revealed to Fandango that the “fun world” of their movie means there are “many things” they can do with the story. We can probably expect a computer game, lunch box set, and theme park ride to quickly follow, too.
The first movie made more than $213 million at the worldwide box office including $134.8 million in North America, so of course this is happening. Proving that Paramount is keen to milk every last drop from the most popular proverbial udder of their film farm, a sequel to John Krasinski ’s horror hit A Quiet Place is definitely happening.
