Michael Sarnoski's upcoming film, A Quiet Place: Day One, takes audiences back in time before the Abbott family's harrowing encounters with the alien 'Listeners.' This horror prequel focuses on Lupita Nyong'o's character, who teams up with Djimon Hounsou, a familiar face from A Quiet Place Part II.
In a recent interview, Sarnoski hinted at revealing Hounsou's character's name, offering a glimpse into his mysterious backstory. The director emphasized that Hounsou's role remains consistent with his portrayal in the second movie, providing viewers with insights into the character's origins.
The original A Quiet Place, starring John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, was a massive success, grossing $341 million worldwide. With Day One, the franchise looks to continue its winning streak, albeit with a different narrative approach.
Alex Wolff, who joins Nyong'o and Hounsou in the prequel, described the film as more of a drama than a horror flick. However, the trailer teases intense alien encounters, suggesting a blend of suspense and action.
Sarnoski highlighted Wolff's character as a friend to Nyong'o's protagonist, emphasizing the exploration of relationships between strangers in a post-apocalyptic setting.
Due to delays caused by industry strikes, fans have eagerly awaited the release of A Quiet Place: Day One. The film is set to hit theaters on June 28, offering audiences a chance to immerse themselves once again in the suspenseful world crafted by Krasinski and his team.
