10 Most Exciting Upcoming Movies Announced This Year

3. A Quiet Place 2

One of 2018's biggest breakout hits, A Quiet Place deserved all the money and critical praise heaped upon it. A skilful exercise in tension and scares, it was a refreshing cinematic experience which proved that people will go and see original movies - as long as they're good.

That being said, it didn't really seem like the type of movie that warranted a sequel. It did end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but it was less "sequel-bait" and more "fill in the blanks yourself". But the broader world of A Quiet Place is rich and thriving with opportunity, so perhaps the next instalment will branch out and explore other towns and countries, or further delve into the origin and history of its central creatures.

A Quiet Place 2 was announced at CinemaCon, shortly after the original began dominating the box-office. Director John Krasinski will surely be returning, after he makes his next movie, Life On Mars. He was integral to the quality of the first film, and he's already said he has lots of ideas for a sequel. Hopefully he can strike gold twice!

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
