“A Quiet Place” director John Krasinski announced Jack O’Connell (“Sinners”), Jason Clarke (“House of Dynamite”) and Katy O’Brian (“Love Lies Bleeding”) will join returning stars Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe for the upcoming horror threequel.
“So proud to be a part of this A Quiet Place Family…old and new!” Krasinski captioned his social media post, featuring copies of the script printed with each actor’s name. “Here we go!” (On Instagram, Krasinski set the post to the “Hamilton” track “One Last Time,” perhaps signaling the finale of this story in the blockbuster franchise.)
Production on “A Quiet Place: Part III” is set to begin this spring in New York with Krasinski directing from his own screenplay. He is also producing the film alongside Allyson Seeger for Sunday Night, which has a first-look deal with the studio. Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing for Platinum Dunes.
Krasinski directed the first two films in the “Quiet Place” franchise — and starred in the first movie with Blunt, Simmonds and Jupe, playing a family navigating a world overrun by an invasion of sightless aliens with a deadly acute sense of hearing — with Michael Sarnoski directing the 2024 prequel “A Quiet Place: Day One,” starring Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn. The series has grossed over $900 million.
In joining the franchise, O’Connell continues his run of hits in the horror genre, following “Sinners,” which won four Oscars on Sunday night, and two “28 Years Later” movies, specifically Nia DaCosta’s “The Bone Temple,” which hit theaters in January.
Paramount is set to release “A Quiet Place: Part III” in theaters on July 30, 2027.
