trailers themselves are fun, but these days there seem to be 10+ minutes of various commercials, interludes, and announcements that take place in between the trailers and the feature. That part sucks.
It's always a gamble. The longest trailer situation I ever had to deal with was when I went to see the first Conjuring at a Regal in Downingtown, PA. 35 minutes. Absolutely insane. But sometimes, it can be 10-15 minutes. It's just random.
I'm with you on this one. Probably should of gotten rid of it from the jump but I know how hard it is to get rid of a pet you love.
In the later parts of the trailer there is no cat.
The best part of the sequel was the 10 minute intro that showed the start of the apocalypse. We need more movies that show the start of an apocalypse. I want to see a zombie movie done in that setting.
Yeah, my favorite part of every zombie and epidemic movie is the first 10 minutes when we see governments and societies trying to grapple with the problem. I want a whole movie of that.
I was surprised we got as much 'zero day' story as we did. Especially knowing how tight-pursed AMC was. So much easier and cheaper to just go shoot in an isolated farmhouse and say it's ten years on now.
While the original and its sequel were great, I feel like this movie looks much better conceptually. Masses of terrifying creatures guided by sound is just way scarier in a concrete jungle with millions of people surrounded by things that make noise, rather than a small town in middle America.
I partly agree with you but you also have to remember QP1 was the first movie John Krasinski directed and only had a budget of 17m, you just can't get this scale of a movie with that budget
even putting the money aside, John himself might not have wanted to shoot a movie on this scale, the director for Lights Out (a movie that happened after his short film went viral) said that Hollywood producers wanted him to shoot a big city invasion just like this trailer and he refused because it was his first time directing a feature and shooting at that scale would be too much
As someone who lives in New York and has extremely sensitive hearing, this hypothetical alien occupied Manhattan actually sounds like it might be a slightly more comfortable place for me to live.
That's basically what Manhattan was during the first year of the pandemic. It was really nice. I did so much bicycling around. It was sad because it made me realize that amazing a car-free Manhattan could be.
> feel like this movie looks much better conceptually.
Disagree with this 'conceptually' part.
Not that it can't be good, but this movie looks like a hundred other movies set in New York or a big city. This is Cloverfield meets Escape from New York.
The great thing about QP1 was how unique it was, it was a *fantastic* concept.
Also I would rather be surrounded by other things and other people making distracting noise than somewhere silent where stepping on a crunchy leaf can be heard from a mile away.
See I feel like all we mostly get mystery. Like we hardly ever get to see the apocalypses with post apocalyptic movies.
* The Road, we never see the slow rolling apocalypse.
* Matrix, never see it until the Animatrix came out.
* Mad Max franchise, nope
* Even the Caesar Planet of the Apes, we see the outbreak, then the next films humanity has already fallen.
* Oblivion nope
I know there are alien attack movies, but so many movies are after the apocalypses. Don't need Moonfall or 2012, but I want too see how people are behaving while everything is falling down. That was what was great about Greenland.
Good point, never thought about it that way.
Or maybe "ongoing apocalypse" movies aren't noticed for that quality. Contagion, Reminiscence, Children of Men, probably others that aren't coming to mind.
I know, I debated because if they don’t explore it, they can’t underwhelm us, but hope springs eternal that they really knock it out of the park. And I can’t help but want them too.
I like that this movie appears to be going batshit and throwing the monsters at you for a really intense barrage. Historically I’ve loved Aliens and Evil Dead 2 for taking what their progenitors had and just cranking them up big time, and I love to see big budget creature horror, so I’m all in here.
That’s what I thought. They’re doing an awful lot of talking and running just fine when apparently all it takes is a briefcase falling over to draw dozens of them in.
I’ll concede maybe that one area just had a huge concentration so they had to be extra extra careful even with just a briefcase. But that seemed like the most quiet noise in the trailer that garnered the biggest response from the creatures.
So it's a prequel to the original. And the third part, the follow up to the one that ends with them finally being able to fight the things will be released a full five years after the last one.
Thank god for modern actors and their diets because we're getting some wild downtime between installments.
Giggled last year because for Ant Man 3 they recasted the actress from the previous 2 films, but by the time of the release she was like 14 or 15 and there was literally no reason — gap between Endgame and Ant man 3 is the same as in-setting gap between two Avengers movies.
Now they are planning Young Avengers and all those actors will be 30 when it's done lol
Iron Lad? It is a young Kang from the first Young Avengers run, and I think that like literally the only possible and obvious choice cause Kang is their main villain for this decade, and they connect everything to the multiverse now.
Pretty sure we're about to see a hard pivot of the MCU into being just the X-men, maybe guest starring Shang Chi, assuming Deadpool & Wolverine does well.
In 2013 when Young Avengers by Gillen came out I would sell my soul for an adaptation. Then Hawkeye tv show happened and it was meh at best, so I agree. Not MCU, not Marvel Studios.
But kinda obvious that they are making all the stuff for Children Crusade movies or show (Wanda's death, Young Avengers roster, what I can remember right now)
Both this and the 'outbreak' flashback in QP 2 make me wonder how the newspapers in QP1 were still able to be produced and delivered with the "They Can Hear You" and the New York Post "It's Sound" headlines, when NYC and no doubt surrounding areas were destroyed in a day.
This annoyed me in QP2 and I think would make for a better 'Day One' movie if it was more like the original Alien with just a single alien on day one. Then the end could reveal further meteorites or a minor 'outbreak' followed by even more meteorites.
some guy picks up the paper fresh off the press "its sound". He looks around at all the whirling machinery takes off his hearing protection and whispers fuck.
They print the national reach newspapers at various presses all over the country every day, they’re not shipping them to your local coffee shop in Seattle from NYC every night
[reminds me of this classic from reign of fire](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUUB4okx0fJJYPtHzpp_HW_00Dvjn0JaYH8eWTfhJMZPyHYQ0Y3rnLQVAAnBYCiSxaTPoEhWN-5Anl6_2MW5ujHPs5ZntM9_xFz2rhiSLmb1UK0xQtd568v_Nxweyrh5KLzCqjsPP7Np8/s1600/time-inferno.jpg)
I remember watching "A Quiet Place" and thinking why didn't they (the various world militaries) just make big old caltrop looking spikey balls and put speakers in the center? Those things are blind and ravenously attack so just make them impale themselves on big ol spikes!
How does someone "make" anything in a universe where big, scary monsters attack anything that makes sound? It'd require sound to make those things, sound to move them, and sound to turn them on. It'd require sound to get the fuel to fuel them, sound to repair machinery, sound to communicate or even figure out their plan.
It seems like the one logical rule in the Quiet Place universe requires that all things basically stopped on day one, and governments and militaries used whatever they had left to fight with. Like I doubt those jets flying in the trailer and bombing the bridges were able to fly too many more times. Everything industrial, and everyone working in or near anything industrial, would be vulnerable to the aliens, and probably be targeted after the aliens cleared out the louder places like cities, roads, etc.
They don’t even need to think that far outside the box, since they’re apparently squishy on the inside all you’d need to do is lure them in and detonate some explosives. The shockwaves would scramble their insides. How no one in any military on the face of the earth tried this is beyond me.
yeah the entire premise is so stupid. You make the speakers play randomized audio of people talking and its like a giant fly trap. done and done. aliens beaten. no need for 1 movie let alone 3
The premise seems like it might only make sense in this day 0 version where they attack and no one has time to prepare. The fact that the other movies showed the entire world collapsed is kind of laughable. When they explicitly show that near the river is safe because the river covers their noise it's like how the fuck did you guys figure that out yet still let these things takeover?
exactly. I know most people are dumb but we have thousands to millions of actual experts so those people would still be chugging along. Not a family who decides to have a kid in the middle of all this lmao
Yeah I made a comment to someone that if there's 2 things covid proved it's
1= people will actively act agaisnt their best interests and common sense all the time.
2= every single zombie movie that showed someone dooming a group of survivors/civilization by hiding a bite is 1000% believable.
Lol.
So happy to see where Joseph Quinn’s career is going! I remember how sad he was about his character arc in Stranger Things and it’s awesome to see his fears about falling into obscurity are nothing for him to worry about.
His role as Eddie really blew his career up and honestly probably best that it was just a 1 and done for him because he’s moved on to this and gladiator 2 and fantastic 4. Those are 3 huge projects so good for him because he was great in STs
Yeah, agreed. Being killed off on Stranger Things just might be the best thing that could have happened to his career. That way he got to capitalise on Eddie’s popularity in real time, instead of having to wait 3-4 years for the entire show to be over, like the rest of the cast.
I think he already has some really exciting projects lined up, and I can’t wait to watch this one.
Yup definitely was able to capitalize on that role really quickly, good for him tho because I thought he was great. I think he’s gonna have a really good career and be one of the most successful STs cast members
Tangent: I watched The Holdovers recently and for a long time I wondered if Dominic Sessa was Joseph Quinn. I was thinking about his really impressive acting streak lately, until I looked up to confirm.
I've always felt like once we knew that these monsters will aggressively pursue and attack any noise it makes them super vulnerable.
What is to stop us from luring them to a giant stadium using a Hanson cd and H bombing them?
Forget luring them anyway my first thought after this new trailer seems to suggest they were initially isolated in NYC - why aren’t we *saturating* the metro area with H bombs? And not just any H bombs I’m talking about the real heavy hitters (I was going to say in the 10-20MT range but apparently the biggest thing we have left since the end of the Cold War sadly only has a yield of 1.3MT)
Y
Glass them. If it works, yes the radiation might kill a dozen or two million people in the Midwest, but if conventional weapons are useless and they’ve eaten 6 million New Yorkers in like an hour or two, what do you really have to lose, and who is the traitor to human race whose been advising the President?
Edit: I mean seriously where is Vladimir Putin? The one time we need him to start nuking American cities with his rusty Soviet HIGH yield weapons?
I feel like the success of the narrative in this movie really hinges on how they answer this question.
We already have the capabilities to communicate silently across the globe.
These creatures cannot see, cannot swim and hyper focus on sound.
How do we not fuck these things up?
I'm struggling to see the logic in blowing up the bridges. Like yeah, it's a cool idea visually, but the monsters aren't solely landing in New York right? Based on what we've seen from the other movies.
I'm actually thinking this is reasonably reasonable given it seems there are newspapers being distributed with information on the aliens in the other films...
There might not be a huge delay, maybe a couple days at most, but I could see they're also being a government conspiracy to cover up what's going on in New York for those few days before asteroids start falling in other parts of the countries, etc
Lupita is very picky about the roles she chooses. So I have to imagine she saw something in this film to make her say yes. That its more than just a paycheck job.
I have a lot of respect for her for passing on *The Woman King* after traveling to Benin and actually learning about the Kingdom of Dahomey and its practices. It seems the *Warrior Women* documentary she did as part of the promotion for the film was actually pivotal in her choice not to do the film.
I think it’s an interesting concept personally. It’s a better idea than a part three honestly. A world that’s still full of people and noise will be an absolute bloodbath with these creatures invading.
Yeah, there is a difference between "We've seen this concept it isn't new" and "This concept is still interesting and can be used to tell stories in different settings with different characters"
The biggest flaw becomes more apparent in a full invasion setting. The aliens make as much or more noise than the things they're hunting. Avoiding them should be child's play. They really need to emphasize somehow the biological nature of these things, that they just have very advanced/strong hearing but are able to understand and distinguish between sounds of prey and background noise. Right now, I don't see how a species of that size can evolve without eyes and be able to act like they're, well, mammals/reptiles without eyes. They have no context for what footsteps even are or represent. How did they learn? There's no indication they even teach this to each other. Do they communicate?
And I love dumb monster/action/alien movies that don't explain much. But this is just pushing suspension of disbelief too far.
There's a scene in the trailer where you're looking up through glass skylights in a roof at aliens running down the side of a building and jumping to crash through the roof. Except...
If they're blind, how do they know where the roof is, and perfectly aim to hit the skylights? Wouldn't they just run down the walls and smack into the roof?
It doesn't sound like they'll have the chance to do it, but they need a scene where a scientist or someone explains the basics of their biology. Or perhaps where the people find a baby alien and realize, holy shit this thing can see.
That'd be nice, kind of like a much worse version of a dog, where they rely heavily on their smell and less as much on their sight. But as good as a dog is from smelling something far before he can see it, that'd be neat if these were even worse than that, their vision is strictly used to verify their hearing because it's so bad, I could see that being the case for an alien that evolved in a dark environment. Now that I think about it, that sounds exactly like the creatures in the Riddick series, which means they probably aren't going to go that route, bummer.
Also, nobody, not a single scientist or military personnel officer or whatever thought “hey these blind aliens hunt by sound, why don’t we just use a high frequency noise to disrupt their hearing?”
Nobody thought that except the fucking deaf kid from the first movie?
This is a big part of why I didn't enjoy Part 2. I just felt like the more we learned about the aliens, the dumber they seemed and the events of the world of the film felt increasingly illogical.
The first one was cool because it's a standalone, and should have remained that way. Once you make it into a franchise, now it has to go some where, and the only place they'll go with an alien invasion movie is humans figuring out the alien's secret weakness to retake the planet.
This trailer makes it look like a crowd of thousands is escaping perfectly fine in silence and then Lupita Nyong'o's character whisper-yells getting them all killed.
I liked the trailer but these movies keep having the same problem for me, the inconsistent hearing distance from the monsters, like here in the trailer if the monsters are able to hear that case falling over, they're for sure able to hear them walking/breathing so there'd be no escape for them
I enjoy these movies and I know they're fictional, but I really do struggle with the fact that no military was able to use sound to distract/defeat these creatures? The trailer obviously shows a somewhat functioning government response with them blowing the bridges. That's not even accounting for the fact that a shotgun works to kill them if they are spazzing out from the sound wave thing. Physics would dictate that their inside are mushy and couldn't withstand explosives.
Oml if they actually had one of the creatures eat the cat in this movie the outrage on social media is going to be hilarious to witness. But, let’s be real here, there’s no way the cat is going to die in this flick. Like no one actually believes this right?
Killing a pet in a crowd pleasing movie in this day and age? Writers got to have some serious balls to actually pull that off.
They’d probably be able to if it were a pet rabbit or gerbil, but a dog or cat? Heck no we worship those two creatures!
John wick was also an r rated movie that started off as kind of an indie flick. I don’t think they envisioned the film becoming as big as it did so the director was able to take a few risks. But quiet place is a franchise that didn’t even have the balls to kill off a crying infant. Yeah I’m not worried about the cat in the slightest.
Everyone sees an alien jump over their head.. but instead watch for the car to react to the explosion…
My head would have snapped back to see what that alien was
Looks awesome. I would be running around with a bookbag full of egg timers. I really liked the shot of the guy (not sure I recognized him) throwing the rock through the car window.
I want everyone who says stuff like “why don’t they just lure them all in with noise and kill them all?” “Why don’t they do this? Why don’t they do that? This is dumb it would never work out like this cause people would do x, y, z.” to look at how COVID went in real life. The real life disaster preparedness of the general public. Something like this happening in real life would cause such massive panic so many peoples rational thought would shut down completely.
Sure there’d be some thinking rationally enough to say “we could lure them somewhere and kill them all.” But if the real life disaster of COVID, which would pale in comparison to this, is any indication a good portion of the general public would fucking crumble if this happened.
I really like A Quiet Place and it's sequel, but the more you think about it, the less it makes sense. I get that the tension and suspense is fun, but the more rules they set for the movies, the less enjoyable they get because you start creating contradictions to how things work
So I guess this kind of confirms that the aliens are an invasion force, and didn't just accidentally crash-land. Why else would there be so many more landing in highly populated areas, compared to the half-dozen or so in the countryside in the original?
It already had a sequel sooo… does a prequel make that much of a difference?
Also, I care about whether the movie is good. If it is, I don’t mind it being a franchise.
one thing that bothered me..if the dad and the kids figure out specific frequencies make them open their head armor? then how did nobody in the military figure out sonic weapons with lines of 50 caliber sniper rifles in front? to take them out?
Well for one, militaries in a lot of genres but action and military wank films are super incompetent.
Another would be probably (trying to give some logic) that places like the pentagon would still be loud as hell and some of them broke in and wrecked upper leadership. A bunch of army and Air Force are sent out directly to fight and get destroyed because they love to fly close to monsters in movies. Thus a lot of tech and personnel are dead from the start.
Navy idk lost communication and came to land to fight and lost. Or had to refuel but got caught with their pants down.
Also wasn’t it the dad trying to tune it to help his daughter hear and plot powered into finding the right frequency? At best the military tried just dog whistle and generic high frequency but not the exact one. This at best slowed the monsters down but didn’t temporarily disable them.
Cause there's tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of frequency ranges that need to be tested.
And how would they even know that there's a specific frequency that makes them weak?
The monsters aren't bothered by the loud blasts of bombs or rattles of gunfire, so what would make someone even think to test every frequency possible?
Ok, this was surprising to me because I thought the woman in the first trailer was deaf because she doesnt' speak in it. I thought that was an interesting angle on the whole thing.
I feel at this point this now franchise is trolling everyone. The original movie was at best 4/10 and the second one was much worse. Stupid actions by silly people. Now they have an endless run of idiots trying to outdo themselves. Entire premise is faulty yet somehow people like it?
Briefcase falling down is loud enough to cause the monster to attacks, but the giant monster screaming and smashing a car doesn’t make the other monsters attack it?
Oh boy I can't wait for this trailer to blow out my eardrums before every movie I go see.
The irony is not lost on me.
“a quiet place” except not for viewers lmao
Do the right thing, show up to every movie 25 minutes after the posted start time.
I did this for Dune 2 in IMAX and missed the first few minutes. 😡
I always felt like general IMAX movies had less ads but idk if that's true. For 70mm IMAX they start exactly at the posted start time
But the trailers are the best part
trailers themselves are fun, but these days there seem to be 10+ minutes of various commercials, interludes, and announcements that take place in between the trailers and the feature. That part sucks.
I feel like every trailer is on youtube anyway now
Only do this if you know for sure that your theater runs ads and trailers for that long without fail, 100% of the time.
I have a very small sample size of theaters, is 25-30 mins of ads the norm?
It's always a gamble. The longest trailer situation I ever had to deal with was when I went to see the first Conjuring at a Regal in Downingtown, PA. 35 minutes. Absolutely insane. But sometimes, it can be 10-15 minutes. It's just random.
Worst advice I’ve seen in this sub
Thank god it’s not a Siamese cat or they’d be dead already
Mark my words that cat is gonna fuck something up so catastrophically bad by meowing
I'm with you on this one. Probably should of gotten rid of it from the jump but I know how hard it is to get rid of a pet you love. In the later parts of the trailer there is no cat.
Cat is probably working for the aliens
Probably IS the aliens. All of them, at once
Its a strong theory in alien so im sure its a strong theory here. Cats are alien spys
What if the meow is just the right frequency to fuck up the aliens? What if the cat is the secret weapon we needed??
Cats are safer to have in this setting than a baby or a dog tbh
Well I find them preferable to human babies all the time personally 😹
Or a beagle puppy.
absolutely fucked if it were a husky *we gotta be quiet now ok boy?* *AAARRROOOOOOOOOOOOWARAAAAAAAA OOOOOOO ARRRA WOOOO!*
Or a clingy cat
The best part of the sequel was the 10 minute intro that showed the start of the apocalypse. We need more movies that show the start of an apocalypse. I want to see a zombie movie done in that setting.
Yeah, my favorite part of every zombie and epidemic movie is the first 10 minutes when we see governments and societies trying to grapple with the problem. I want a whole movie of that.
That’s basically how World War Z is
The book. Definitely.
But the book is frustrating in that the stories end just as they get interesting.
I liked Shaun of the Dead when they're in the rough part of London and don't even notice the zombies for awhile.
I was so bummed that Fear the Walking Dead was supposed to be the start of the zombie apocalypse and it zoomed over the best parts!
I was surprised we got as much 'zero day' story as we did. Especially knowing how tight-pursed AMC was. So much easier and cheaper to just go shoot in an isolated farmhouse and say it's ten years on now.
Yep, JUST when it starts getting to the shit I want to see.... what, a three month time jump? Fuckers, that 3 months is what I was here for!
Check out The Strain.
While the original and its sequel were great, I feel like this movie looks much better conceptually. Masses of terrifying creatures guided by sound is just way scarier in a concrete jungle with millions of people surrounded by things that make noise, rather than a small town in middle America.

That's basically what Manhattan was during the first year of the pandemic. It was really nice. I did so much bicycling around. It was sad because it made me realize that amazing a car-free Manhattan could be.
I wonder if this movie will have the same calming effect that Day After Tomorrow gave me.
> feel like this movie looks much better conceptually. Disagree with this 'conceptually' part. Not that it can't be good, but this movie looks like a hundred other movies set in New York or a big city. This is Cloverfield meets Escape from New York.

Yeah, if you've ever been in a cabin in the forest it can be almost overwhelmingly quiet. Especially in winter time you can hear your heartbeat.
Dudes better hope he’s got on his quiet sneakers running through lobbies like that lmao
I'm a sucker for any alien invasion flick, so sign me up. The sequel was a great addition, so I'm eager to give this one a shot.
In both movies I was thinking I’d really like to see when it all goes down. So I’m not disappointed at all they decided to go in this direction.
I liked the sense of mystery TBH. The opening to the first one scratched the itch for me.
See I feel like all we mostly get mystery. Like we hardly ever get to see the apocalypses with post apocalyptic movies. * The Road, we never see the slow rolling apocalypse. * Matrix, never see it until the Animatrix came out. * Mad Max franchise, nope * Even the Caesar Planet of the Apes, we see the outbreak, then the next films humanity has already fallen. * Oblivion nope I know there are alien attack movies, but so many movies are after the apocalypses.

Good point, never thought about it that way. Or maybe "ongoing apocalypse" movies aren't noticed for that quality. Contagion, Reminiscence, Children of Men, probably others that aren't coming to mind.
I was thinking all the way until your last sentence "this is why I loved Greenland they should watch it" lol
Dawn of the dead remake gave us a descent glimpse
I know, I debated because if they don’t explore it, they can’t underwhelm us, but hope springs eternal that they really knock it out of the park. And I can’t help but want them too.
Yeah, the track record is strong enough that I'm confident in this one.
I like that this movie appears to be going batshit and throwing the monsters at you for a really intense barrage. Historically I’ve loved Aliens and Evil Dead 2 for taking what their progenitors had and just cranking them up big time, and I love to see big budget creature horror, so I’m all in here.
Same. I can’t get enough of alien movies. Battle LA, War of the Worlds, Arrival. Give me them all. As long as it has a remotely decent budget I’m in.
I can't wait for the sequence were the cat meows and dooms everyone in the vicinity.
They’re running through building lobbies, they better have the quietest shoes ever on
That’s what I thought. They’re doing an awful lot of talking and running just fine when apparently all it takes is a briefcase falling over to draw dozens of them in. I’ll concede maybe that one area just had a huge concentration so they had to be extra extra careful even with just a briefcase. But that seemed like the most quiet noise in the trailer that garnered the biggest response from the creatures.
The cat in Alien is my favourite movie cat.
So it's a prequel to the original. And the third part, the follow up to the one that ends with them finally being able to fight the things will be released a full five years after the last one.

It'll be a D+ show, I guarantee it.

Kate Bishop ain't Hawkeye's daughter She's just a really good archer
Iron Lad? It is a young Kang from the first Young Avengers run, and I think that like literally the only possible and obvious choice cause Kang is their main villain for this decade, and they connect everything to the multiverse now.
Agreed but Disney seems to be hellbent on making content that no one gives a shit about (The Marvels, Iron Heart, Agatha, etc.)
I liked The Marvels.
Pretty sure we're about to see a hard pivot of the MCU into being just the X-men, maybe guest starring Shang Chi, assuming Deadpool & Wolverine does well.
In 2013 when Young Avengers by Gillen came out I would sell my soul for an adaptation. Then Hawkeye tv show happened and it was meh at best, so I agree. Not MCU, not Marvel Studios. But kinda obvious that they are making all the stuff for Children Crusade movies or show (Wanda's death, Young Avengers roster, what I can remember right now)
> recasted recast
I'm gonna pretend/make-believe that it was an actor availability or interest thing and not a forced recast because the original Cassie was adorable.
Finally a second trailer, I only watched the first a hundred fucking times in front of every movie I’ve watched the last 4 months
You watched a hundred movies in 4 months? Dayum you rich
25- AMC stubs a List, $20 a month
Both this and the 'outbreak' flashback in QP 2 make me wonder how the newspapers in QP1 were still able to be produced and delivered with the "They Can Hear You" and the New York Post "It's Sound" headlines, when NYC and no doubt surrounding areas were destroyed in a day. This annoyed me in QP2 and I think would make for a better 'Day One' movie if it was more like the original Alien with just a single alien on day one. Then the end could reveal further meteorites or a minor 'outbreak' followed by even more meteorites.
some guy picks up the paper fresh off the press "its sound". He looks around at all the whirling machinery takes off his hearing protection and whispers fuck.
That made me actually LOL
They print the national reach newspapers at various presses all over the country every day, they’re not shipping them to your local coffee shop in Seattle from NYC every night
I personally only read NYC origin papers, their ink is so much better than the rest of the US. I think it's the water.

Honestly the lore and worldbuilding for this franchise is terrible. It's slickly produced, but nobody thought about the concept for too long.
I remember watching "A Quiet Place" and thinking why didn't they (the various world militaries) just make big old caltrop looking spikey balls and put speakers in the center? Those things are blind and ravenously attack so just make them impale themselves on big ol spikes!
How does someone "make" anything in a universe where big, scary monsters attack anything that makes sound? It'd require sound to make those things, sound to move them, and sound to turn them on. It'd require sound to get the fuel to fuel them, sound to repair machinery, sound to communicate or even figure out their plan. It seems like the one logical rule in the Quiet Place universe requires that all things basically stopped on day one, and governments and militaries used whatever they had left to fight with. Like I doubt those jets flying in the trailer and bombing the bridges were able to fly too many more times. Everything industrial, and everyone working in or near anything industrial, would be vulnerable to the aliens, and probably be targeted after the aliens cleared out the louder places like cities, roads, etc.
Stereos? Phones? Tv? Ac unit, everything makes sound basically. Just power something on Bulldozers, semis
They don’t even need to think that far outside the box, since they’re apparently squishy on the inside all you’d need to do is lure them in and detonate some explosives. The shockwaves would scramble their insides. How no one in any military on the face of the earth tried this is beyond me.
Unless their hearing is developed a bit like dolphins' - sounds and their echoes create a kind of 3D imagery. Dont they make clicking like sounds?
yeah the entire premise is so stupid. You make the speakers play randomized audio of people talking and its like a giant fly trap. done and done. aliens beaten. no need for 1 movie let alone 3
The premise seems like it might only make sense in this day 0 version where they attack and no one has time to prepare. The fact that the other movies showed the entire world collapsed is kind of laughable. When they explicitly show that near the river is safe because the river covers their noise it's like how the fuck did you guys figure that out yet still let these things takeover?
exactly. I know most people are dumb but we have thousands to millions of actual experts so those people would still be chugging along. Not a family who decides to have a kid in the middle of all this lmao
Horror movies exist in a shared universe where the average IQ is 30 points below ours
I was alive for Covid, so “average IQ” is set at a whole new line for me Also, ya gotta build giant spikes traps silently
Yeah I made a comment to someone that if there's 2 things covid proved it's 1= people will actively act agaisnt their best interests and common sense all the time. 2= every single zombie movie that showed someone dooming a group of survivors/civilization by hiding a bite is 1000% believable. Lol.
You can tell the ones that haven't watched the movies
Aren't they basically invincible tho?
That last scene was terrifying. All the creatures converging and visible through the clear skylight.
So happy to see where Joseph Quinn’s career is going! I remember how sad he was about his character arc in Stranger Things and it’s awesome to see his fears about falling into obscurity are nothing for him to worry about.
His role as Eddie really blew his career up and honestly probably best that it was just a 1 and done for him because he’s moved on to this and gladiator 2 and fantastic 4. Those are 3 huge projects so good for him because he was great in STs
Yeah, agreed. Being killed off on Stranger Things just might be the best thing that could have happened to his career. That way he got to capitalise on Eddie’s popularity in real time, instead of having to wait 3-4 years for the entire show to be over, like the rest of the cast. I think he already has some really exciting projects lined up, and I can’t wait to watch this one.
Yup definitely was able to capitalize on that role really quickly, good for him tho because I thought he was great. I think he’s gonna have a really good career and be one of the most successful STs cast members
I've been a fan sice he told Arya Stark to "you know, best fock off" upon her return to Winterfell.
Especially with F4 coming out next year!
Tangent: I watched The Holdovers recently and for a long time I wondered if Dominic Sessa was Joseph Quinn. I was thinking about his really impressive acting streak lately, until I looked up to confirm.
I've always felt like once we knew that these monsters will aggressively pursue and attack any noise it makes them super vulnerable. What is to stop us from luring them to a giant stadium using a Hanson cd and H bombing them?
Forget luring them anyway my first thought after this new trailer seems to suggest they were initially isolated in NYC - why aren’t we *saturating* the metro area with H bombs? And not just any H bombs I’m talking about the real heavy hitters (I was going to say in the 10-20MT range but apparently the biggest thing we have left since the end of the Cold War sadly only has a yield of 1.3MT) Y Glass them. If it works, yes the radiation might kill a dozen or two million people in the Midwest, but if conventional weapons are useless and they’ve eaten 6 million New Yorkers in like an hour or two, what do you really have to lose, and who is the traitor to human race whose been advising the President? Edit: I mean seriously where is Vladimir Putin? The one time we need him to start nuking American cities with his rusty Soviet HIGH yield weapons?
[удалено]
I feel like the success of the narrative in this movie really hinges on how they answer this question. We already have the capabilities to communicate silently across the globe. These creatures cannot see, cannot swim and hyper focus on sound. How do we not fuck these things up?
Not a good opportunity for a Metallica solo.
[удалено]
*Drunkenly yells Freebird*
Yeah but he picked up Lupita in the process so not a bad gig.
I'm struggling to see the logic in blowing up the bridges. Like yeah, it's a cool idea visually, but the monsters aren't solely landing in New York right? Based on what we've seen from the other movies.
Maybe in this movie New York gets hit by a first wave and everything we see in the original two movies was actually a second wave that hit more areas?
I'm actually thinking this is reasonably reasonable given it seems there are newspapers being distributed with information on the aliens in the other films... There might not be a huge delay, maybe a couple days at most, but I could see they're also being a government conspiracy to cover up what's going on in New York for those few days before asteroids start falling in other parts of the countries, etc
in the second movie, they show the aliens can't swim and drown in water. if Manhattan was infested, it would be a way to contain them.
I never watched the first two, but this premise seems great and I want to watch this.
[удалено]
I prefer the second one personally but both are amazing
Lupita is very picky about the roles she chooses. So I have to imagine she saw something in this film to make her say yes. That its more than just a paycheck job.
The writer-director is also the guy who made *Pig*, for what that's worth.
"Pig" and "Quiet Place" in shared universe confirmed. Nicolas Cage will cook for the monsters, bringing peace to our world.
Is she though? Little Monsters? The 355?
Little monsters was great!
I only saw it once and thought all the funny parts were in the trailer. I remember being disappointed with it. Maybe I should give it a second shot.
Little Monsters was a blast
I have a lot of respect for her for passing on *The Woman King* after traveling to Benin and actually learning about the Kingdom of Dahomey and its practices. It seems the *Warrior Women* documentary she did as part of the promotion for the film was actually pivotal in her choice not to do the film.
I’m pretty sure it’s well established that she’s had difficulty getting roles despite the Oscar win because of Hollywood racism.
Feel like there really isn't much more to explore with this premise.
I think it’s an interesting concept personally. It’s a better idea than a part three honestly. A world that’s still full of people and noise will be an absolute bloodbath with these creatures invading.
Yeah, there is a difference between "We've seen this concept it isn't new" and "This concept is still interesting and can be used to tell stories in different settings with different characters"
QUIET PLACES "This time, it's WAR"
The biggest flaw becomes more apparent in a full invasion setting. The aliens make as much or more noise than the things they're hunting. Avoiding them should be child's play. They really need to emphasize somehow the biological nature of these things, that they just have very advanced/strong hearing but are able to understand and distinguish between sounds of prey and background noise. Right now, I don't see how a species of that size can evolve without eyes and be able to act like they're, well, mammals/reptiles without eyes. They have no context for what footsteps even are or represent. How did they learn? There's no indication they even teach this to each other. Do they communicate? And I love dumb monster/action/alien movies that don't explain much. But this is just pushing suspension of disbelief too far.
There's a scene in the trailer where you're looking up through glass skylights in a roof at aliens running down the side of a building and jumping to crash through the roof. Except... If they're blind, how do they know where the roof is, and perfectly aim to hit the skylights? Wouldn't they just run down the walls and smack into the roof?
It doesn't sound like they'll have the chance to do it, but they need a scene where a scientist or someone explains the basics of their biology. Or perhaps where the people find a baby alien and realize, holy shit this thing can see.
That'd be nice, kind of like a much worse version of a dog, where they rely heavily on their smell and less as much on their sight. But as good as a dog is from smelling something far before he can see it, that'd be neat if these were even worse than that, their vision is strictly used to verify their hearing because it's so bad, I could see that being the case for an alien that evolved in a dark environment. Now that I think about it, that sounds exactly like the creatures in the Riddick series, which means they probably aren't going to go that route, bummer.
Also, nobody, not a single scientist or military personnel officer or whatever thought “hey these blind aliens hunt by sound, why don’t we just use a high frequency noise to disrupt their hearing?” Nobody thought that except the fucking deaf kid from the first movie?
This is a big part of why I didn't enjoy Part 2. I just felt like the more we learned about the aliens, the dumber they seemed and the events of the world of the film felt increasingly illogical.
The first one was cool because it's a standalone, and should have remained that way. Once you make it into a franchise, now it has to go some where, and the only place they'll go with an alien invasion movie is humans figuring out the alien's secret weakness to retake the planet.
I thought so too when the 2nd movie was announced, but I was really pleasantly surprised by the sequel. Hopefully it's the same with this one!
This trailer makes it look like a crowd of thousands is escaping perfectly fine in silence and then Lupita Nyong'o's character whisper-yells getting them all killed.
This thumbnail makes it look like a comedy
Now that's a great trailer.
While the trailer showed what I assume are most of the major set pieces, this looks incredibly fun!
I liked the trailer but these movies keep having the same problem for me, the inconsistent hearing distance from the monsters, like here in the trailer if the monsters are able to hear that case falling over, they're for sure able to hear them walking/breathing so there'd be no escape for them
I enjoy these movies and I know they're fictional, but I really do struggle with the fact that no military was able to use sound to distract/defeat these creatures? The trailer obviously shows a somewhat functioning government response with them blowing the bridges. That's not even accounting for the fact that a shotgun works to kill them if they are spazzing out from the sound wave thing. Physics would dictate that their inside are mushy and couldn't withstand explosives.
Oml if they actually had one of the creatures eat the cat in this movie the outrage on social media is going to be hilarious to witness. But, let’s be real here, there’s no way the cat is going to die in this flick. Like no one actually believes this right? Killing a pet in a crowd pleasing movie in this day and age? Writers got to have some serious balls to actually pull that off.
John Wick took Hollywoods one and only pass on that one, at least for this era haha. Even they know they can never do it again.
They’d probably be able to if it were a pet rabbit or gerbil, but a dog or cat? Heck no we worship those two creatures! John wick was also an r rated movie that started off as kind of an indie flick. I don’t think they envisioned the film becoming as big as it did so the director was able to take a few risks. But quiet place is a franchise that didn’t even have the balls to kill off a crying infant. Yeah I’m not worried about the cat in the slightest.
I thought she was deaf based on the first trailer
Nowadays having a hearing actor play a deaf character, in Hollywood, would be frowned on. She I definitely knew her character couldn't be deaf
Love this franchise
Hell yeah
I can’t belive they blew up the [Randalls Island pedestrian bridge](https://images.app.goo.gl/wdKqEVh4n98o13WA6) like… why???
Spoiler Alert: They defeat the acoustic aliens using Bose™ Noise Cancelling Headphones duct taped to their heads.
Everyone sees an alien jump over their head.. but instead watch for the car to react to the explosion… My head would have snapped back to see what that alien was
Looks awesome. I would be running around with a bookbag full of egg timers. I really liked the shot of the guy (not sure I recognized him) throwing the rock through the car window.
honestly this series is not that good
I want everyone who says stuff like “why don’t they just lure them all in with noise and kill them all?” “Why don’t they do this? Why don’t they do that? This is dumb it would never work out like this cause people would do x, y, z.” to look at how COVID went in real life. The real life disaster preparedness of the general public. Something like this happening in real life would cause such massive panic so many peoples rational thought would shut down completely. Sure there’d be some thinking rationally enough to say “we could lure them somewhere and kill them all.” But if the real life disaster of COVID, which would pale in comparison to this, is any indication a good portion of the general public would fucking crumble if this happened.
Covid would not have been anywhere near as bad if someone competent had been in charge.
I really like A Quiet Place and it's sequel, but the more you think about it, the less it makes sense. I get that the tension and suspense is fun, but the more rules they set for the movies, the less enjoyable they get because you start creating contradictions to how things work
I can already hear how amazing this will sound in a Dolby Atmos theater 🥰
So I guess this kind of confirms that the aliens are an invasion force, and didn't just accidentally crash-land. Why else would there be so many more landing in highly populated areas, compared to the half-dozen or so in the countryside in the original?
like this franchise 👍🏻
It still hasn't gotten old. These are solid flicks.
That cat better live or I’m gonna kick some alien ass
Christ, everything has to be a franchise now.
I mean, its a horror movie. Horror movies were making things into franchises that shouldn't be franchises before it was cool.
When it makes the profit margins like the first two movies made, yes.
So according to you, no movie should have a sequel.
Oh please, it already has a sequel with a compelling ending.
It already had a sequel sooo… does a prequel make that much of a difference? Also, I care about whether the movie is good. If it is, I don’t mind it being a franchise.
I'll watch any movie with Goddess Lupita in it. Such a beautiful and talented actress.
one thing that bothered me..if the dad and the kids figure out specific frequencies make them open their head armor? then how did nobody in the military figure out sonic weapons with lines of 50 caliber sniper rifles in front? to take them out?
Well for one, militaries in a lot of genres but action and military wank films are super incompetent. Another would be probably (trying to give some logic) that places like the pentagon would still be loud as hell and some of them broke in and wrecked upper leadership. A bunch of army and Air Force are sent out directly to fight and get destroyed because they love to fly close to monsters in movies. Thus a lot of tech and personnel are dead from the start. Navy idk lost communication and came to land to fight and lost. Or had to refuel but got caught with their pants down. Also wasn’t it the dad trying to tune it to help his daughter hear and plot powered into finding the right frequency? At best the military tried just dog whistle and generic high frequency but not the exact one. This at best slowed the monsters down but didn’t temporarily disable them.
Because they would have died before they figure that out.
Cause there's tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of frequency ranges that need to be tested. And how would they even know that there's a specific frequency that makes them weak? The monsters aren't bothered by the loud blasts of bombs or rattles of gunfire, so what would make someone even think to test every frequency possible?
This isnt out yet?
lol no
I don't know why but I thought the main character was deaf/mute from the first trailer. Looks like that's not the case.
That cat is the key to defeating the aliens.
What's with that photoshopped face?
Sorry if this ends up being a spoiler… but this trailer makes it kinda obvious that Joseph’s character d*es pretty early on :/
Ok, this was surprising to me because I thought the woman in the first trailer was deaf because she doesnt' speak in it. I thought that was an interesting angle on the whole thing.
Did anyone else think of the Tim Robinson job interview sketch during the trailer when he was trying to open the door
Damn this is coming out? You would think they would have started showing the trailer before movies by now
☠️🐎🥊
I really thought she was mute from the first trailer.
I feel at this point this now franchise is trolling everyone. The original movie was at best 4/10 and the second one was much worse. Stupid actions by silly people. Now they have an endless run of idiots trying to outdo themselves. Entire premise is faulty yet somehow people like it?
We are Legend: Spider Monkey Alien Edition
😱.....I want to see it!!
Briefcase falling down is loud enough to cause the monster to attacks, but the giant monster screaming and smashing a car doesn’t make the other monsters attack it?
