Watch: John Krasinski Breaks Down How They Shot the Opening Scene of ‘A Quiet Place 2’ in Exclusive Clip
We at Collider are happy to share an exclusive clip from the Digital and upcoming Blu-ray release of A Quiet Place: Part II. With the first film, John Krasinski proved he was a director to keep an eye on, with a knack for building tension while keeping the focus on character and story. With the sequel – in particular the harrowing opening sequence of A Quiet Place 2 – Krasinski doubled down, showing he’s able to channel the likes of Steven Spielberg when it comes to shot design and composition.
In this exclusive clip, Krasinski breaks down how they shot the opening flashback sequence in A Quiet Place: Part II, which takes place on Day One when the alien creatures first arrived. Production set up shop in Akron, New York, which Krasinski says they chose because they have “a whole lot going on in this town.” The writer/director continued, “A whole lot of stunts, a whole lot of big high-production value, so we needed a town that we could do all that in and control the whole town, because our creatures are going to make a grand entrance here on this huge, huge street.”
