A Quiet Place is a 2018 American post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by John Krasinski, who stars alongside his real-life wife, Emily Blunt. The film is produced by Platinum Dunes. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods began working on the story in 2014, and Paramount Pictures bought their spec script in 2017. Krasinski then joined as a director and wrote a new draft of the script. Principal photography took place later in the year in upstate New York. In A Quiet Place, a family must live life in silence while hiding from extraterrestrial creatures that hunt by sound. A Quiet Place premiered at South by Southwest on March 9, 2018, and was released in the United States on April 6, 2018, by Paramount Pictures. It became a major box office hit, grossing $332 million worldwide, and received acclaim from critics, who praised its originality and atmosphere, as well as the acting, directing, and sound design, calling it a "smart, wickedly frightening good time."[5] A sequel is scheduled to be released on May 15, 2020.
A Quiet Place Part 2 has been delayed because of COVID-19.
