Alex Wolff says A Quiet Place: Day One is “more a drama” than horror

January 17, 2024 by EJ Moreno

Even though the Quiet Place movies have never been entirely horror, the films have always been tinged with chills and thrills to counteract all the alien monster-focused action.

The new entry, A Quiet Place: Day One, will move even further from horror, with actor Alex Wolff teasing that the Michael Sarnoski-directed film seems more like a drama.

In an interview with DiscussingFilm, Wolff teases the tone and style of the Quiet Place spin-off, telling the outlet, “That’s not a horror movie, not really. I might get in trouble for saying that. It’s from the director of Pig, this film I did, so it’s very… It’s more a drama. It’s weird going from a $2 million movie to a $100 million movie and working with the same director and in the same proximity [as the other actors].”

He adds that the film is intimate: “There’s only about four or five characters in it. So it was kinda like making Pig, just on a massive scale.”

A Quiet Place: Day One will star Lupita Nyong’o, Djimon Hounsou, Alex Wolff, Denis O’Hare, and Joseph Quinn. John Krasinski, Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller will produce the film.

A Quiet Place: Day One arrives in cinemas on March 8th.
