Michael Sarnoski, the director of Pig starring Nicolas Cage, is in talks to helm a new movie in the A Quiet Place franchise.
Although this is set to be the third Quiet Place movie, Deadline reports that this is not a sequel to A Quiet Place Part 2, but rather a spinoff based on an idea by John Krasinski. The former Office actor directed both films and starred in the first one.
According to the report, neither Krasinski nor Emily Blunt will reprise their roles for this next movie.
Sarnoski shot to acclaim after directing 2021’s Pig, a movie about a lone farmer venturing into the underbelly of the Portland culinary scene to retrieve his kidnapped truffle pig. While the plot evokes animal revenge movies like John Wick, Pig is a more meditative film though with bursts of intensity.
Pig landed on multiple Best Of lists including IGN’s for Best Movie and Best Performance. You can read our Pig review here.
Meanwhile, A Quiet Place continues to grow into a hit franchise. The first film grossed over $350 million on a $17 million budget and the sequel nearly hit $300 million at the box office. The horror franchise is set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by blind monsters who hunt through hearing.
This has forced humanity to become quiet to not attract attention from these creatures, though not making any sound at all is no small challenge. Krasinski and real-life wife Emily Blunt starred in the first two movies as husband and wife ensuring the safety of their three children.
IGN praised A Quiet Place Part 2 in our review calling it a worthy sequel that almost goes toe-to-toe with its predecessor.
