MOVIE NEWS – New footage reveals more about the upcoming prequel to A Quiet Place, in which Djimon Hounsou returns.

New footage from the Quiet Place-prequel movie reveals the horrors of the upcoming prequel film. The film will be released on 8 March 2024, and Djimon Hounsou will reprise his role from A Quiet Place: Part 2. Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn and Alex Wolff will also join the film in crucial roles.

Now, Paramount has released new footage from A Quiet Place: Day One at CinemaCon, revealing that the film will be set in New York and will follow Lupita Nyong’o’s unnamed character.

She will be seen on the street as alien meteors rain down from the sky on the first day of the invasion. Nyong’o will play a mother trying to protect her children on the first day, which takes place during the events of the first two films.

Filming of the movie began in February 2023. Nyong’o’s role is similar to that of Evelyn, played by Emily Blunt, who raises her children alone in the second part of Without a Voice. However, Nyong’o’s character will have a much rougher first day during the invasion. Which, as we see, begins with a meteor attack on New York.

What sets A Quiet Place: Day One apart from the previous two films is that it focuses on the first days of the invasion. Since it takes place at a time when no one knows that “the angels of death” are attracted to sound, the film promises tension due to the characters’ lack of initial knowledge.

The audience also knows that specific sound frequencies can make the aliens vulnerable, but the characters do not yet know, which adds to the terror of the early days.

Although the story is being developed by franchise director John Krasinski, Day One will be directed and written by Michael Sarnoski. The director co-wrote the script with Jeff Nichols. And the new creative team signals a different vibe for the prequel. Now that the film’s further action has been revealed, it seems worth waiting for the franchise’s terrifying origin story.
