A Quiet Place 2: 7 Big News Revelations About The Upcoming Sequel

7. The Writing Has Taken Almost A Year

The writer, director, and star of the original film, John Krasinski has apparently been working on the script for well over a year now.

Krasinski previously commented that when production companies Paramount and Platinum Dunes initially approached him about the possibility of a sequel, before the original film had even been released, he scoffed at the idea. However, upon marinating in it for a bit, he found the idea increasingly compelling and began working on a rough draft of the script right after the release of the first film.

This is made all the more interesting by the fact that although Krasinski did do a clean-up on the script for the first film, he did not write the initial drafts. Writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods crafted the original script for the film before Krasinski was ever even attached. However, with this sequel, Krasinski is looking to be the only credited writer.

Meaning that this film will serve as a more proper debut for Krasinski as a horror screenwriter in his own right.
