John Krasinski to direct yet untitled sequel to horror hit "A Quiet Place"

John Krasinski is set to return to direct the yet untitled sequel to horror hit "A Quiet Place". According to Variety, Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, and Millicent Simmonds are in talks to reprise their roles in the Paramount project.

"Time to go back. #PartII 5-15-20," Karsinski wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of the red lights that became synonymous with the alien threats in the first film. "A Quiet Place" grossed USD 340 million at the worldwide box office last year.

Krasinski penned the screenplay with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck and the trio has received a Writers Guild nomination in the original category. The film is also up for an Oscar for sound editing for Ethan Van der Ryn and Erik Aadahl. The first film revolved around an isolated family of four that must live in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound.
