A Quiet Place: Day One | trailer arrives for alien invasion prequel starring Lupita Nyong’o

The first trailer for the latest instalment in the “A Quiet Place” film series,  "A Quiet Place: Day One," has dropped today and marks the arrival of the newest chapter in the post-apocalyptic horror series born from 2018's "A Quiet Place,” which starred Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.

The film delves into the onset of the invasion, where lethal extraterrestrial beings possessing hyper-sonic hearing descend upon Eart acting as a prequel to the events that unfolded in both the first film and “A Quiet Place II,” released in 2020 and starring Oscar 2024 nominee Cillian Murphy.

While the initial two films were guided by Krasinski, known for his roles in "The Office" and "Jack Ryan," the reins for the upcoming third instalment have been passed to Michael Sarnoski. The narrative of the first two movies revolved around the Abbott family, portrayed by Krasinski and Emily Blunt as Lee and Evelyn, respectively, as they strive to safeguard their children, Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and Marcus (Noah Jupe).

In "A Quiet Place Part II," viewers witnessed the Abbott family navigating the pandemonium of the invasion's initial hours in their idyllic suburban enclave. Conversely, the prequel, "Day One," introduces fresh faces grappling with the nascent stages of the invasion amidst the urban landscape of New York City. 

Lupita Nyong’o ("Us," "Black Panther"), Alex Wolff ("Hereditary"), Joseph Quinn ("Stranger Things"), and Denis O'Hare ("True Blood") join the "A Quiet Place" franchise, while Djimon Hounsou ("Gladiator") reprises his role from the second instalment.
