The yet-untitled third installment of ‘A Quiet Place’ movie has just been hit with a setback. Because as per a report by Deadline, the film’s writer and director Jeff Nichols has amicably parted ways with Paramount studios.
The talented director has opted to move forward with an untitled science fiction project at the same studio. The decision was possibly taken owing to the director’s penchant for the science fiction genre as previously he has helmed critically acclaimed films like ‘Take Shelter’ and ‘Midnight Special’.
Having said that, fans of ‘A Quiet Place’ franchise ought not to be disheartened because the studio has already kicked off the search for a replacement director to helm the spin-off film, owing to the tremendous success and following for both the films.
The script for the third film based on ‘A Quiet Place’ universe was based on a story idea by the first two films’ original helmer John Krasinski. It is currently not confirmed whether or not changes would again be made to the third film’s script after a new director gets on board.
‘A Quiet Place’ parent films’ director John Krasinski has recently concluded filming for Amazon Prime Video’s ‘Jack Ryan’ Season 3 besides lending his voice for DC’s League of Super Pets. While ‘A Quiet Place’ lead actress Emily Blunt’s forthcoming acting projects include the Western drama miniseries ‘The English’, Christopher Nolan’s next film ‘Oppenheimer’ alongside her ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ co-star Cillian Murphy, amongst other films. Both these actors are not expected to be a part of ‘A Quiet Place’ spin-off film.
Currently, the untitled ‘A Quiet Place’ spin-off film is slated for theatrical release on 31st March 2023, which the makers would hopefully retain provided that the search for the film’s new director ends soon.
