New 'A Quiet Place: Day One' trailer: Watch Lupita Nyong'o, Joseph Quinn flee alien attack

Lupita Nyong’o as Samira and Joseph Quinn as Eric in "A Quiet Place: Day One" from Paramount Pictures.

A new trailer for "A Quiet Place: Day One," the anticipated prequel to John Krasinski's apocalyptic horror franchise starring Lupita Nyong'o, is here.

The trailer, released Thursday, sees Nyong'o's character Samira running from the aliens as they fall from the sky and attack New York City.

"Shelter in place," a public service announcement warns, as the creatures are seen scaling what buildings are left standing.

The clip later sees Sam team up with Joseph Quinn's character, Eric, as both try to escape and understand their new world, as the city around them crumbles in ruins.

Djimon Hounsou, who plays Henri, also makes an appearance, running into Nyong'o as both hide and try to keep quiet so as not to be discovered by the monsters. "Day One" also stars Alex Wolff, Malik Jubal and Thea Butler.
