If you’ve seen Pig, you know that this is the best news.
Fresh off last year’s Nicolas Cage-starring Pig, an excellent revenge drama that bucks expectations at every turn, Deadline reports that Michael Sarnoski is headed to A Quiet Place!
Sarnoski will be directing the next film in John Krasinski‘s hit horror franchise for Paramount, which Jeff Nichols had previously been attached to direct before dropping out.
Deadline notes, “Not much more is known about this project other than it not being a threequel but rather a spinoff, based on an idea from John Krasinski.”
The site adds, “The hope is this film would help set up a potential Quiet Place universe that the studio can build on for years to come. It is also known that, while not out of the question, Emily Blunt and Krasinski likely would not reprise their roles in this installment.”
Krasinski will produce alongside Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.
Meanwhile, it’s expected that the Abbott family storyline will eventually become a trilogy with Krasinski recently teasing that he has ideas for the third film in the main series.
