John Krasinski gave us one of the most ground-breaking horror movies in recent years with A Quiet Place, but its sequel won’t be what we expect. The actor-turned-director recently discussed the follow-up to his critically acclaimed film and promised a new perspective.
Krasinski wasn’t too crazy about the idea of doing the sequel, but he knew it was inevitable after the enormous success of A Quiet Place. He’s currently working on a script, but doesn’t intend to build a new world around the characters we know and love.
“The reason I decided to go back, in the end, was this world is so rich, and it’s so much fun to explore. There are so many different things to see now. Everyone else in the world is experiencing this, so I’m curious to see what that looks like from another perspective,” explained Krasinski.
It’s a little bit heartbreaking to learn we probably won’t get to see what happened to the surviving members of the Abbott family after that final frame, but maybe it’s for the best. A Quiet Place was a perfect film on its own, and its open-ended nature gives us an opportunity to use our imagination and decided for ourselves where the Abbotts are now.
