The first trailer for the horror sequel, A Quiet Place: Part II, has been released. Directed by John Krasinski and starring Emily Blunt as a survivor of an apocalyptic alien invasion, the film will pick up from where the original left off.
But the trailer opens with scenes of chaos on the day it all began, when the aliens arrived on Earth and first began killing humans. The entire scene appears to have been shot from the inside of a car, as Blunt’s character, Evelyn Abbott, drives with her kids as havoc unfolds outside. The shot is reminiscent of a similar scene in Children of Men, and also the recent post-apocalyptic film Bird Box, which drew comparisons to A Quiet Place.
After surviving the events of the first film, Evelyn and her three children must learn to keep living without Evelyn’s husband, Lee, who sacrificed himself to save his family. Evelyn comes across a group of survivors, but when she insists on finding others, she’s chillingly told that “the people that are left are not the kind of people worth saving.”
Here’s the official synopsis of the film: “Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.”
