Before the world of A Quiet Place became a quiet place, it was a LOUD PLACE. And based on the first trailer for June's A Quiet Place: Day One, it was especially loud on day one, when a species of snarling echolocation-addicted aliens crashed on Earth. As teased in John Krasinski's newspaper clipping mosaic in the first film, New York City went into full lockdown after the ETs arrived. Day One, which gets a big spooky trailer that will premiere to the masses at the 2024 Super Bowl LVIII, chronicles that fateful day in the Big Apple.
Anyone who has clocked time in New York knows that the city is not the ideal place for a peaceful showdown with an alien race. While many natives would cheer the aliens as they chased Times Square's Elmo impersonators through the throngs of Broadway-goers before eventually passing out in Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, the truth is that they would inevitably turn to the outer boroughs. “Protect Union Pool!” Brooklyn twenty-somethings would scream as they fought for another PBR, knowing the end was inevitable.
