Emily Blunt Says A Quiet Place 2 Could Have Prequel Components

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski spoke with EW for a new interview and discussed development on the sequel to A Quiet Place. Talking about what’s next in the franchise, Blunt suggested that the sequel could have prequel elements to it.

“In some ways, the idea of seeing who these people were before this all happened would be interesting, but I’m not quite sure because I think actually it’s now what’s the next chapter and what happens next,” said Blunt. “I think people feel very invested in this family…. I think it’s such an open book right now, and certainly for John who is lasering into something as we speak.”

Krasinski talked about how he became inspired to expand his idea for a sequel, saying, “This is a world you can play in, this isn’t just a character to remake…. it’s actually a world, which is a whole different, very unique experience. It’s not like Alien or Jaws where the main villain is the thing you’re repeating; it’s an actual entire set of rules and the circumstance that the world has undergone that you can play in very different facets.”

A Quiet Place is one of the big success stories of the year, having grossed over $334 million worldwide on a $17 million dollar budget. Krasinski directed the film and starred alongside Blunt.
