A Quiet Place: Day One is a prequel to the popular A Quiet Place franchise. The upcoming film will explore the origins of the terror that befell the Abbott family in the first two films.
The post-apocalyptic horror film is based on the original story by John Krasinski and Michael Sarnoski. While John Krasinski directed the first two films in the franchise, A Quiet Place: Day One will be directed by Michael Sarnoski and Krasinksi is only involved in writing the story.
The upcoming film features a new set of characters as the storyline goes back in time to venture into the origins of the blind extraterrestrial monsters that plague Earth. One of the most exciting additions to the cast is Lupita Nyong'o. Djimon Hounsou is the only recurring character as he reprises his role as the Man on the Island.
