The next installment in Paramount’s hit horror franchise is A Quiet Place: Day One, and Deadline reports today that Joseph Quinn is in talks for a leading role opposite Lupita Nyong’o.
Quinn won acclaim for playing breakout character Eddie Munson, the teen metalhead with a heart of gold, in the fourth season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things.”
Fresh off last year’s Nicolas Cage-starring Pig, an excellent revenge drama that bucks expectations at every turn, Michael Sarnoski is headed to A Quiet Place with the third installment in the franchise, said to be a spinoff movie that Sarnoski will be directing. A Quiet Place: Day One is currently scheduled to be unleashed in theaters on March 8, 2024.
No plot details at this time, but the upcoming spinoff is based on an original idea by John Krasinski, who directed and starred in the first two films. It is, however, shaping up to have a tremendous cast with Nyong’o and likely Quinn attached to star.
Deadline reports that “The hope is this film will help set up a potential Quiet Place universe that the studio can build on for years to come. It also is known that, while not out of the question, Emily Blunt and Krasinski likely won’t reprise their roles in this installment.”
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, set to release sometime in 2025.
John Krasinski will produce alongside Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller via Platinum Dunes. A Quiet Place Part II, opened to $57 million at the domestic box office in May 2021 and has earned $297 million worldwide, making it easy to see why this franchise is expanding.
Stay tuned for more details about the spinoff as they come.
