Production
The development of “A Quiet Place: Day One” began in November 2020 when Paramount Pictures announced the expansion of the franchise. The film is directed by Michael Sarnoski, who co-wrote the screenplay with John Krasinski, the brain behind the original story and the series at large. Despite a change in directors from Jeff Nichols to Sarnoski due to creative differences, the project quickly moved forward.
Filming
Principal photography for the movie kicked off on February 6, 2023, in London and concluded on April 11. The production phase suggests that the film’s visual and thematic elements are being carefully crafted to match the high expectations set by its predecessors.

A Glimpse Into a Shattered World
According to Lance, in the latest installment of the franchise, the invasion by aliens unfolds in New York City. The trailer reveals the city’s exciting chaos as meteors rain down, panic dominates the streets and Lupita Nyong’o’s character finds refuge under a truck as death looms.
In the wake of devastation, martial law descends, quarantining the city and trapping its inhabitants within. Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn’s characters join forces, making their bid for freedom through the menacing shadows of a skyscraper.
While the trailer reveals a terrifying state of affairs, it also promises thrilling set pieces and edge-of-the-seat moments when even the slightest sound proves hazardous.
John Krasinski, the director of the first two films of the franchise, passes the directorial baton to Michael Sarnoski for ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’. According to Deadline reports, after viewing Sarnoski’s Nicolas Cage drama Pig, Krasinski was extremely impressed and considered the young director an excellent choice for this project.
Michael brought a vision that, while uniquely his own, seamlessly fitted into the dystopian world established by Krasinski in the earlier two movies. Handling the switch in direction competently, Krasinski is producing this film under his banner, Sunday Night. Platinum Dunes, led by Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller, also contributes to the production.
Lupita Nyong’o, an Oscar winner for ’12 Years a Slave’, is the lead star alongside Alex Wolff of Hereditary and Pig, and Joseph Quinn, known for his role in Stranger Things. Djimon Hounsou, reprising his role from ‘A Quiet Place: Part II’, also features in the film.
Mark your calendars, as the film is set to hit theaters on June 28th. The official synopsis of the movie released reads, ‘Experience the day the world went quiet.’
