A Quiet Place: Day One
What You Need to Know
We interviewed Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn for the premiere of ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, the prequel to the franchise.
The Story Begins
In 2018, John Krasinsky launched himself as director of a new franchise titled ‘A Quiet Place’, which mixed several genres such as drama and science fiction, brought together in a suspense thriller that presented us with a world invaded by aliens who annihilate everything that generates noise.
Krasinsky also took on the character of Lee, a family man who travels with his wife Evelyn (played by his real-life wife, Emily Blunt) and his sons. After a terrible loss, they begin a silent life in which they must escape the terror that even a whisper entails.
A Prequel to the Franchise
‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ is a prequel that brings us to the day when aliens arrived on Earth and began exterminating everything that generated sound. The risk increases considering that the film’s setting is New York City.
The tape starts with a text that reveals to us that in New York, the city’s decibel level is 90… 90! That’s equivalent to constant screaming. Why? First of all, it is a huge city, with millions of inhabitants, one of the most touristic places in the world, and an activity that never stops.
A Survival Movie
‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ is presented as a survival movie. Although it has all its elements, it stands out for strengthening one of its arguments. To explain it, we have to go to the first film, which introduced us to a family willing to survive.
In this new film, there are no families, but "Independent" people who must form a bond strong enough to recognize the possibility of sacrifice. And the truth is, the development of its protagonists, as well as the story, is intense and beautiful.
A New Film, a New Story
While Sam tries to survive with his kitten named Frodo (it’s as cool as Messi’s dog), meet Eric, a lonely guy who accompanies her in search of medicine and permanent shelter.
What’s New
The world ends in complete silence in the official trailer for ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’.
