From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 7pm Saturday in NZ, 5pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day , it’s
the described movie A Quiet Place from 2018.
A Quiet Place is a 2018 American post-apocalyptic horror film directed by John Krasinski.
The film stars Krasinski, alongside Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe.
The plot revolves around a family struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind extraterrestrial creatures with an acute sense of hearing.
Beck and Woods had begun developing a story that would lead into the film. In July 2016, Krasinski read a spec script and was hired to direct and rewrite the script in March the following year. The film drew inspiration from other films, such as Alien, No Country for Old Men and In the Bedroom.
Krasinski and Blunt were cast in the lead roles in May 2017. Filming took place in upstate New York from May to November 2017.
Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn served as supervising sound editors, with Marco Beltrami composing a traditional musical score. The film was produced by Sunday Night and Platinum Dunes.
A Quiet Place premiered at South by Southwest on 9 March, 2018, and was released in the United States on 6 April, 2018, by Paramount Pictures.
It became a major box office hit, grossing over $340 million worldwide, and received acclaim for its atmosphere, as well as for the acting, direction, and sound design.
It was described as a "smart, wickedly frightening good time", and chosen by both the National Board of Review and American Film Institute as one of the Top 10 Films of 2018.
It received several award nominations, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, Producers Guild of America Award for Best Theatrical Motion Picture, Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay for Krasinski, Beck, and Woods, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for Blunt, which she later won. It was also nominated for Best Sound at the 72nd BAFTA Awards as well as for Best Sound Editing at the 91st Academy Awards.
A sequel, A Quiet Place: Part II, is scheduled to be released on March 20, 2020, with Krasinski returning as director and Blunt, Simmonds, and Jupe set to return.
