Day One resets the timeline of the intense horror saga "A Quiet Place", its more a psychological horror story as we humans are use to talk on a daily bases, keeping our mouth close for most people is impossible even when you are alone might start singing and I think its a natural reflect based on ours life so staying quiet with the sole purpose of surviving its another entire stage or horror, imagine you can stay and live surrounded with this alien monsters but the second you make the most insignificant sound you are dead. On Day One we might get some answers as how the entire world became Quiet, probably not WHY alien came to Earth but will show us the process everything went down. From the trailer there are already some images of ships dropping down form the sky and aliens starting to snap people on New York City, probably one of the loudest cities in the world.

Michael Sarnoski is a director who knows how to both scare and move audiences, known for his work on the film “Pig,” starring Nicolas Cage, a masterpiece of psychological horror that also explores themes such as grief and loss. He’s now in charge of “A Quiet Place: Day One,” the third installment in the post-apocalyptic horror saga. John Krasinski directed the first two movies of the A Quiet Place series, and initially, Jeff Nichols was supposed to take over, but apparently, there were some creative differences, leading Sarnoski to assume the project. With his talent for crafting complex stories and his ability to build tension, Sarnoski is a perfect choice to direct “A Quiet Place: Day One.” Audiences can expect a film that will both terrify and deeply move them. However, I read an interview with Alex Wolff where he mentioned that it’s not precisely a horror movie; it’s more drama-oriented. It might not focus as much on the chaos of the creatures, although we’ll still see monster mayhem.

The cast for this movie I have to say its an impressive lineup of talent, starting with Joseph Quinn, recognize for his role of Eddie Munson in the fourth season of Stranger Things and his appearances in Game of Thrones, Les Misérables (2018), and Overlord (2018). Lupita Nyong’o, Oscar winning actress well known for her powerful performance in the movie 12 Years a Slave and her captivating roles in Non Stop (2014), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), and Black Panther (2018), joins the team Alex Wolff, known for his multiple talents in acting, music, and film making, having starred in Patriots Day (2016), the terror Hereditary (2018), Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), and The Cat and the Moon (2019). Djimon Hounsou, a two time Academy Award nominee recognized for his powerful roles in Blood Diamond and Gladiator, brings his formidable presence to the cast, having also impressed audiences in In America, Gladiator (2000), and Amistad (1997). Additionally, Denis O’Hare, renowned for his multiple roles of complex characters, brings his expertise to the movie, having spent 12 years as a stage actor in Chicago before transitioning to New York.

As most movies premiering this year 2024 the Day One also experience delays due to the global pandemic which pushed back its release from September 2023 to June 2024 right after that dealing with the Hollywood writers and actors strikes but it is a big project that could not back down.

Along this time of production out of no where when everyone was expecting this movie to be on the same category of horror, Alex Wolff made a statement regarding a certain shift for the theme of this movie, this third part of the saga leans more towards drama and not the classic horror and suspense that we have seen on its prequel, this unexpected change has spark the fans curiosity and increase the excitement for how the franchise will evolve, it's kinda hard imagine a prequel shifting gears this way or even completely eliminating the horror element from the story, that's why other two movies there interesting.

The title of this prequel indicates that the story will focus more into how everything started, how the invasion drop on Earth from one second to another. John Krasinski, director and writer of the first two movies, hinted that Lupita Nyong’o’s character will go through the chaos in the world’s noisiest city, New York, something that doesn't go well with this entire story, kinda reminds me the scene from the Last of Us where they explain how Clickers create this root system across miles to communicate with each other, point is you had to be deadly silence to be able to go through this places now imagine been in New York and not making any noise to avoid aliens, I think one idea don't go well with the other.

The slogan "Live the day our world fell silent" suggests that this third movie will add more context into the previous two explaining how everything begin, if that is the case must be a great experience to watch the first two now, before watching Day One. I went through something similar before starting to watch the TV series MONARCH as I watch previous movies related to it, if only most franchise operate like this. I believe the movie promises to offer a unique view of the franchise, focusing on the most human aspects of the story so its possible they do move out from the Alien focus into the drama of those who were trying to survive the day everything started. The combination of a talented director with an intriguing story makes A Quiet Place: Day One one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2024, well not horror now.

Funny the moment I started doing this post a few weeks ago after I notice the teaser, official trailer just drop today, most of the trailers that were circulating were fan made. Until today the premier for this third act of A Quiet Place is set for June 28, 2024 and from what I have red online. The addition of new cast members, a genre shift, and the promise of a new perspective on the silent apocalypse have generated much anticipation.

Big part of the attractive of this movie was the silence and mimics, people trying to communicate staying completely silent, I wonder how much this would affect the perception from viewers and critics since this aspects that were previously the apex of the movie wont be there anymore or very little compare to its prequels, although this could setup a new exciting platform for other movies keep in mind that now days creating an entire universe is the new trend.
