#QUIET PLACE 2 MOVIE#
"The idea for me was not just to make Regan the lead of the movie, but why she was the lead of the movie was because she was the younger version of Lee," Krasinski enthuses, talking a mile a minute during a break in filming.
In the first film Lee had seen fires in the distance that he took to be signals from other survivors and Regan, using her father’s gathered intel and training, will push the family (now with an hours-old baby born in terrifying silence in a bathtub during a creature attack) to move away from the known (relative) safety of the farm to beyond the sound-deadening sand trails they had previously walked. Picking up literally seconds after the first film closes, Regan and Evelyn will battle the advancing creatures and in the aftermath, seeing their homestead on fire, realise where they have been sheltering is now no longer a safe haven. That idea was that in the absence of the patriarch, Regan would be made the new leader. It’s just a beginning of an idea.’" The Silent Treatment And then all of that mad reaction happened and he was suddenly like, ‘I have an idea. But we were both very steadfast about not being involved. And I think that ultimately he was always going to maybe grandfather the next one. There was a sense of protection of this baby that John had created. Enjoy it.’" Blunt agrees: "We were aware that the studio was probably going to make a sequel, with or without us. "And then when it did well, and were like, ‘We’re going to go do a sequel’ – I thought, ‘Great. "You know, I wrote the first one to be one thing," Krasinski recalls as we stand next to a set of the Abbott farm silo – made famous in a terrifying sequence in the first film. But both Krasinski and Blunt were resistant to the idea.
Of course with numbers and reach as big as it got ($340.1m, thank you very much), a sequel looked inevitable. They found it really involving and exciting." but also the very deep metaphorical themes that people pulled out of it, some of which were intended, and some of which really weren’t. "Not only by just how many people went to see it and then told their friends to see it, and then it had this meteoric life that was not expected by me. "I was gobsmacked!" Blunt recalls of her reaction to the buzz that built while she was filming Jungle Cruise. "We were aware that the studio was probably going to make a sequel, with or without us" Emily BluntĪt a taut 90 minutes and stacked with as much character study as jump-scares, A Quiet Place transcended its genre to court awards, became part of a conversation about ‘elevated horror’ and inspired fan theories about deeper themes. He was a central character in the first film as well as writer/director, and the muscle memory of performing with this close-knit cast apparently hasn’t left him. As the takes play out, Krasinski shouts out enthusiastic encouragement (“Great!” “More of that!”), and moves with the action as though he’s in the scene with the actors.
“Cillian’s going to come in and hopefully not decapitate my wife!” he jokes cheerfully as he maps out a scene where real-life spouse, Emily Blunt, fearfully rushes through the building with her on-screen kids before being ambushed by Cillian Murphy’s mysterious stranger, whirling her round and clamping a hand over her mouth. An upbeat but commanding presence, he’s working fast to make use of the precious hours he has with his two child actors before they have to attend school. In a film with very little dialogue, there’s no need for headsets, and in the cavernous mill building, as dust motes swirl, John Krasinski is enthusiastically bellowing orders to his buzzing team. Amid the disused steelworks of Seneca in Buffalo, New York, on a bright August day before the 2019 Labour Day weekend, the production of A Quiet Place 2 observes no such repose. Crew scamper around whispering, the admonishment of ‘Quiet please!’ is shouted regularly, and any on-set dialogue is captured by mics and relayed noiselessly through headsets to those mutely watching proceedings.
