March 8, 2020. A Quiet Place Part II – the sequel to John Krasinski’s surprise smash-hit sci-fi/horror – is enjoying its world premiere at New York’s Lincoln Centre. With the film just 12 days away from its worldwide release, Krasinski and his wife and leading lady, Emily Blunt are all smiles on the red carpet. And so they should be.

Over a year and several release-date bumps later, Krasinski’s wish may finally be coming true: with cinemas re-opening in America, Britain, and elsewhere, the chance to sit together and be scared witless looks a very real possibility.

Returning audiences to the post-apocalyptic world of A Quiet Place, it’ll be one of the first major movies out the gate since the film industry saw its entire business model chewed up and spat out. So no pressure then…
