After several release date changes, A Quiet Place: Day One will finally be in theaters late next month. However, fans won’t have to wait that long for their next glimpse of the prequel film. Paramount has announced that the next trailer for Day One will premiere tomorrow, May 9. A teaser video accompanied that announcement on Instagram, which invited fans to “hear how it all began.”
Although this is the first film in the series not directed by John Krasinski, he did co-write the script with director Michael Sarnoski. This prequel also moves away from the Abbott family, who were featured in the first two movies. Instead, Lupita Nyong’o will play the new lead character, Sam, as she finds herself trapped in New York on the day the sightless aliens invade.
Stranger Things and The Fantastic Four’s Joseph Quinn co-stars as Eric, one of the first survivors that Sam meets after the rest of the human population in New York is slaughtered. Together, Sam and Eric realize that their only chance to get out of the city alive is to be as quiet as possible. But even under the best of circumstances, that’s going to be very difficult.
The only character confirmed to be returning from A Quiet Place Part II is Djimon Hounsou’s Henri, which means his survival in this particular story is assured. We can’t say the same thing for the other cast members, including Alex Wolff and Eliane Umuhire.
A Quiet Place: Day One will hit theaters on Friday, June 28.
