“I AM THRILLED TO BE BACK IN THEATERS” Watch John Krasinski And Stephen Colbert Interview For A QUIET PLACE PART II
Director John Krasinski and late night talk show host Stephen Colbert of CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert“, along with his wife Evie, celebrated together when Krasinski was the show’s FIRST guest since the lockdown in 2020 to talk about A QUIET PLACE PART II. The film picks up right where the 2018 movie ended and stars Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe and Djimon Hounsou.
Watch the interview from March 9, 2020 where the two discuss horror films, parenthood, calls he and Blunt’s work “the collaboration of his career” and why he made the first movie.
Those who saw A QUIET PLACE in theaters will remember the silence and how motionless the audience was – no cell phone texting, no candy wrappers crinkling, and no one eating popcorn. We became active participants and it was a collective, heightened experience.
If anyone is going to save theaters this summer it’ll be Krasinski and Emily Blunt. This movie is going to be HUGE, what will get people back into cinemas for that group experience and will see big office returns. In a recent NY Times interview, Krasinski says, “I have no idea what’s going to happen with the box office,” he said. “What’s most important to me is that if you want to see this movie, I’m going to show it to you.”
During Thursday’s interview, the filmmaker and host discussed the terrifying film that as Colbert puts it, “has alot of heart,” the amazing sound design, his surprise visits to the various screenings and how these movies are a “love letter to his kids”.
See this clip of how he surprised audiences in Miami earlier this week.
Check out this hilarious 2020 interview with BBC Radio 1 on Blunt and Krasinski’s take on alternate titles for A QUIET PLACE. In November 2020, Variety reported: Jeff Nichols has been tapped to write and direct a third film in the franchise, based on an original idea from John Krasinski. The new installment will be released in 2022.
Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe) must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
From Paramount Pictures, A QUIET PLACE PART II is ONLY in THEATRES, DOLBY CINEMA AND IMAX ON MAY 28, 2021.
