A Quiet Place’s digital HD and Blu-ray releases come equipped with tons of extra content and special features that allow viewers to dive deeper into the post-apocalyptic world. The film took the world by storm when it released earlier this year, grossing over $331 million at the worldwide box office against an estimated production budget of only $17 million. While that’s not an unprecedented accomplishment, it’s something that doesn’t happen often, especially for genre films.
The Office and 13 Hours actor John Krasinski not only starred in the film as the father, Lee, but also co-wrote and directed the project, along with Andrew Form and Brad Fuller producing the film under their Platinum Dunes production company alongside Michael Bay. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe co-starred as the rest of the family. What’s interesting is that it was a project unlike anything the people involved had ever done, and that certainly helped in defining its originality.
Of course, there’s more to A Quiet Place than meets the eye, and the creative team behind the project had the chance to discuss and explain the characters, the story, and the world they created on the film’s home video release. Here’s everything we learned from the movie’s special features:
If it wasn’t clear by watching the film, it’s surely apparent that everyone involved in bringing A Quiet Place to life on the big screen poured their hearts into the project. The cast and crew went to great lengths to make sure that they not only delivered a unique theater-going and movie-watching experience but also that audiences felt that the family wasn’t expendable. Sure, it’s a post-apocalyptic movie with aliens in it, but it’s really all about the family, and everything they have done to survive.
Considering the film’s astounding critical and commercial success, it’s no wonder that Paramount Pictures is already pursuing A Quiet Place 2. While the entire creative team is expected to return - from the writers to the producers, including John Krasinski - the sequel will most likely focus on another family. The first movie’s titular family transformed their lives to survive, but how did all those other survivors manage to avoid making sounds - and for so long? Those are questions that Krasinski and the creative team want to answer in the sequel.
