Paramount Pictures has released their Super Bowl spot for A Quiet Place: Day One, giving audiences a new look at the upcoming prequel that will depict how the alien invasion that changed the lives of the Abbott family in A Quiet Place began. After launching the first trailer for the movie this week, the studio focused on a smaller narrative for the new spot, following Lupita Nyong’o‘s character as she tries to escape from the dangerous creatures that have invaded Earth. Living in a big city can be complicated when monsters attracted to sound make their entrance, as it becomes harder and harder to find shelter away from the noise.
A Quiet Place: Day One takes place before the movies starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinksi, with the prequel directed by Michael Sarnoski taking a look at how humanity reacted when the aliens first arrived. Sarnoski wrote the screenplay based on ideas he came up with alongside Krasinski, also drawing inspiration from the characters created by Bryan Woods and Scott Beck. To better understand the context of what the Abbott family had to go through in the original films, viewers need to go back to where it all started, in a movie that will finally let the aliens hunt for blood in crowded environments.
The supporting cast of A Quiet Place: Day One will also include Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff and Djimon Hounsou, who’ll be reprising his role from A Quiet Place Part II. Quinn became extremely popular after he portrayed Eddie Munson during the fourth season of Stranger Things, with the character established as the leader of the Hellfire Club. On the other hand, Wolff had a small role in last year’s Oppenheimer, and before that, he was seen surviving the horrors of Old. Hounsou stepped into the shoes of the Man on the Island in A Quiet Place Part II, and the upcoming prequel will explain how the character became the leader of a group of survivors.
Will the Abbott Family Return to ‘A Quiet Place’?
While the first two movies of the franchise followed the Abbott family, A Quiet Place: Day One will focus on a new group of characters trying to survive the alien invasion. In A Quiet Place Part II, audiences got a glimpse into how Evelyn and Lee ran away from the monsters on the day the invasion began, before leading their story of survival in the series. However, even if new characters grab the spotlight in A Quiet Place Part II, that doesn’t mean that viewers have seen the last of the Abbott family. A Quiet Place Part III is currently in development at Paramount, although it was delayed indefinitely recently.
A Quiet Place: Day One hits theaters on June 28. Check out the Big Game spot below:
