‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ – New Trailer Ends the World and Begins the Franchise
Before the Abbott family storyline continues in a third installment of the franchise, spinoff prequel A Quiet Place: Day One will be making its way into theaters on June 28, 2024.
We’ll discover why our world went quiet in A Quiet Place: Day One, which will expand the universe of John Krasinski’s hit horror franchise. Watch the brand new trailer below.
Horror franchises spicing up their formula with trips to New York City is of course nothing new, with Day One following in the wake of films like Jason Takes Manhattan, Scream VI and Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Bringing these particular monsters into one of the loudest places in the world should make for some thrilling set pieces, several of which are previewed here.
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.
Djimon Hounsou, who appeared in A Quiet Place Part II, will reprise his role in Day One.
Entertainment Weekly detailed the upcoming movie’s prequel storyline, “Lupita Nyong’o stars as Sam, a woman who’s on a day trip to New York City when the monsters arrive.
“As everything quickly goes to hell, she’s thrown together with a man named Eric (Joseph Quinn). With some reluctance, the pair agree to navigate and survive the city together.”
The spinoff is based on an original idea by John Krasinski and Michael Sarnoski, and it was written by Sarnoski. Meanwhile, it’s expected that the Abbott family storyline will 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.
The team behind the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey movies is currently hard at work on a film titled Pinocchio: Unstrung, but that’s not the only Pinocchio horror movie on the way.
Neither movie will be the first Pinocchio horror movie, however. Up above you’ll see a still from Pinocchio’s Revenge, which was released way back in 1996! But I digress…
Variety reports this morning that Peter Stormare (Clown, lots of cool shit) will star in the upcoming Pinocchio: Carved from Darkness from Oceana Studios.
The company is launching sales at the upcoming Cannes market.
Variety details, “This dark turn on Carlo Collodi’s classic 1883 tale sees woodcarver Geppetto (Peter Stormare) carve a puppet resembling his recently deceased son from a block of wood discarded at a crime scene and cursed by Agatha, the priestess of a dark cult.
“As Pinocchio turns into a vengeful killer, a teen named Charlie and his mother Nancy arrive in the town looking for a fresh start. Meanwhile, a detective named Georgina starts investigating Agatha’s crimes. The characters intertwine with some tragic consequences.”
Vicki Berlin and Daniel Nuta will also star in Pinocchio: Carved from Darkness. Joona Tena (“Superfurball”) is directing the film, written by Paulie Siegel (“Jeremiah”).
Danny Sawaf of Oceana Studios, previews, “We’re thrilled to tell a story that has entertained people around the world for well over a century. Ours is set in a modern world while subverting the audiences expectations given the character has personified good since its inception. The combination of CG and live action will be surreal and audiences are going to be riveted.”
