A Quiet Place Spin-Off in the Works With Midnight Special Director

A third movie in the A Quiet Place franchise is in the works from Jeff Nichols, the director of Midnight Special. It is targeting a 2022 release date, and John Krasinski is also attached to produce the spin-off. Nichols, who directed Mud and Loving, will write and direct the movie from an idea by Krasinski. Details about the story are still under wraps but The Hollywood Reporter describes the movie as a spin-off rather than a direct sequel to A Quiet Place Part II. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/28/the-10-best-horror-movies"] Krasinski previously spoke about the idea of making more Quiet Place movies beyond Part II and said that there are elements in the sequel that hint at deeper lore. "I set up a couple of tiny little Easter eggs in [A Quiet Place Part II] that not only explain more about 1, but would allow for more mythology,” Krasinski said in January 2020. “But, being a Boston Catholic, I can’t be like, ‘Yeah, of course, there’ll be a third!’ No, not at all.” The first two movies in the Quiet Place series were directed by Krasinski and starred Emily Blunt. The first movie was a huge hit upon release in 2018. It made over $335 million at the box office on a production budget of $17 million, according to The Numbers, and was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA in sound categories.

Social media reactions for A Quiet Place Part II were already appearing online by the time the movie was delayed, and they were very positive.
