"It's the end of days. No more people. No more New York. No more nothing." Paramount has unveiled the second thrilling trailer for the sci-fi prequel A Quiet Place: Day One, arriving in theaters this June. After the first two A Quiet Place movies (from 2018 & 2020), they've decided to go big and make the prequel - set it in New York City when the alien creatures first arrive and wreak havoc on all the people there. (There's also a A Quiet Place III sequel in the works). Lupita Nyong'o stars as a woman named Sam in NYC caught up in the mayhem. "As everything quickly goes to hell, she’s thrown together with a man named Eric. With some reluctance, the pair agree to navigate and survive the city together." And yes, she has a cat she brings along named Frodo. The cast also includes Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou, and Denis O'Hare. To top it off, this is directed by the same filmmaker who last made Nicolas Cage's Pig movie - let's see what he's got. I'm really digging all of this footage!! It looks intense and frightening - reminds me of Spielberg's War of the Worlds, starting with a big invasion then quietly trying to survive the rest of the time.
Here's the second trailer (+ poster) for Michael Sarnoski's A Quiet Place: Day One, direct from YouTube:
