John Krasinski, Emily Blunt Tap Into Primal Instincts For ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ | Rotten Tomatoes

The wait is finally over: After being delayed more than a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘A Quiet Place II’ – the sequel to the smash hit 2018 horror film – finally arrives in theaters for Memorial Day weekend. And it’s already Certified Fresh, with critics calling it a triumphant return to the post-apocalyptic world where any sound you make could be your last. Ahead of the movie’s release, Rotten Tomatoes Editor-in-Chief Joel Meares sat down with writer, director, and star John Krasinski to talk about keeping the tension high for round two, squirrelling away ideas for a third movie, and why he decided to make young Regan (Millicent Simmonds) the hero of the sequel. Plus, Simmonds, co-star Emily Blunt, and new stars to the franchise Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou talk working with Krasinski and the emotional bonds that make the film as moving as it is terrifying.

"Some kind of fire? We got units headed out there now"

Makes it eerie thinking that as the attack was occurring in the town the police unit who investigated the fire ran into the creatures and were probably decimated. God that opening really did hit hard, John is killing it in his career!

[bhavishyanarang]

Great to see the progression of John's career.

[seyeruoynepotsuj]

Haven't seen Noah Jupe in any of the promotional material for this one. Hope he's doing okay.

He's a great writer. Can't wait to see the 2nd movie!

[raulcitraro]

I highly recommend this one, guys. It will keep you to the edge of ur seats!

[kourttsmason]

Just went to see this yesterday. My God it's so good. Just like the first one, loved it too. John and his folks really put their foot in these films. I haven't been this scared or full of suspense since It Follows(also good and spooky). Can't wait for the 3rd one

Props to the interviewer for asking Millicent questions about her acting and her experiences rather than just expecting her to deliver messages about what her casting means

[MicaelaBonner]

I hope John and Emily are mr and mrs fantastic

[emmylou]

I hate horror movies. I don’t like blood and gore, this movie however is in its own class. It was so amazingly told and portrayed. I loved it so much

[sakiyehwalker]

I am looking forward to seeing this movie 🎥 and think the cast actors were awesome 👏

[jeffreywhite]

John, get to cracking on a 3rd one now!

[kalynnlorenson]

I am waiting for the third one. Literally the best movie ever.

[timat.v]

I’m not tryna sound jealous or anything but I also think Noah, “Marcus” did I wonderful job also in both movies. Such as Milli but they should also be talking about Noah because he’s been doing great and amazing.

[pearlofori-som]

Wait did they film the press junkets in 2020 or recently

[nimorachard]

stop talking about the military. If John had thought about the military, there might have not been the movie at all.

[ekosupiyandi]

Why do i feel like they already filmed the third movie 🙃🙃

[lovishthecoverking]

is she really unable to speak in real life 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[darrenscott]

The grouchy hovercraft microregionally dust because structure subsequently smoke inside a itchy toenail. curious, alcoholic aquarius

[weasleyo]

Milli is really uncomfortable with this interviewer. I think it says allot about him. Special people are human lie detectors because their senses are so hightened. They can smell a fake for miles.
