Alex Wolff Describes ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ as More of a Drama Than a Horror Movie

Paramount is taking us back to A Quiet Place with the upcoming prequel movie A Quiet Place: Day One, which is set to expand the universe of John Krasinski’s hit horror franchise.

But is this new franchise spinoff a horror movie at all?

In a new red carpet interview shared by Discussing Film this week (watch below), Day One star Alex Wolff (Hereditary) describes the upcoming prequel as a large scale drama.

Wolff explains, “That’s not a horror movie. Not really. It’s more a drama.”

The actor notes in the interview that there are “only about four or five characters in it,” and that the budget for A Quiet Place: Day One is somewhere in the ballpark of $100 million.

It’s likely that Wolff means the new movie focuses a bit more on drama than creature feature mayhem, not that there won’t be any monster carnage at all. After all, A Quiet Place is a horror franchise, and it’s hard to imagine a prequel removing the horror element entirely. Then again, with Michael Sarnoski (Pig) as director, we can likely expect a unique approach.

Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

A Quiet Place: Day One will make noise in theaters on June 28, 2024.

Lupita Nyong’o (Us),  Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things”) and Alex Wolff (Hereditary) star. Michael Sarnoski (Pig) is headed to A Quiet Place to direct the brand new movie.

No plot details are available at this time, but the upcoming spinoff is based on an original idea by John Krasinski, and it was written by Michael Sarnoski and Jeff Nichols.

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.

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.
