Copyright © 2023 Paramount Pictures. All rights reserved. A Quiet Place: Day One expands the franchise with a prequel, which tells the story of the sound-sensitive aliens’ initial arrival in New York. Lupita Nyong’o stars in the new film, which largely features a new cast. It also has a new writer/director, Michael Samoski; he succeeds John Krasinski, who directed the first two. But that doesn’t mean Krasinski wasn’t involved: he produced the film and worked with Samoski on the story. And, according to Nyong’o, he helped convince her of the idea for the new film.
