Even though the Quiet Place movies have never been entirely horror, the films have always been tinged with chills and thrills to counteract all the alien monster-focused action.
The new entry, A Quiet Place: Day One, will move even further from horror, with actor Alex Wolff teasing that the Michael Sarnoski-directed film seems more like a drama.
In an interview with DiscussingFilm, Wolff teases the tone and style of the Quiet Place spin-off, telling the outlet, “That’s not a horror movie, not really. I might get in trouble for saying that. It’s from the director of Pig, this film I did, so it’s very… It’s more a drama. It’s weird going from a $2 million movie to a $100 million movie and working with the same director and in the same proximity [as the other actors].”
He adds that the film is intimate: “There’s only about four or five characters in it. So it was kinda like making Pig, just on a massive scale.”
A Quiet Place: Day One will star Lupita Nyong’o, Djimon Hounsou, Alex Wolff, Denis O’Hare, and Joseph Quinn. John Krasinski, Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller will produce the film.
A Quiet Place: Day One arrives in cinemas on March 8th.
