It is a very different world to the one at the opening ofA Quiet Place: Day One.
Theres a lot more sound.
That is what spoke to me about the premise.
How does New York go quiet?
Once again, these New Yorkers are not the trained silent survivalists of the first two films.
Its a messy exploration, for sure.
We aimed to increase the scope and make something very large.
That ended up not being the challenge, he says.
It is a really refreshing tone to add to what we already know of the Quiet Place universe.
I cant give much more away because hes a man of mystery.
For that story to work, the relationship between the actors was crucial.
Fortunately, they hit it off right away.
Thats the lovely thing about this game.
Other than that, shes just great fun.
She soon came to enjoy working with the real Quinn, however.
Nyongo tells us, Hes very generous and very courageous as an actor.
He makes bold choices but is not married to them.
Of course, both actors might be decidedly less fond of theirotherco-star.
One of Sarnoskis biggest challenges was making the monsters feel real.
The monsters themselves are physically unique and a bit impossible to do practically.
Still, Sarnoski put a lot of work into making the monsters feel real on set.
You also end up doing a lot of sound effects.
Sarnoski himself spent a lot of time with a microphone, making creature noises.
There was a lot of me or a person in a blue suit wandering around making scary noises.
But I can make some pretty scary creature noises, so that was okay.
I cant seem to shake off these monsters!
Half of what makes these monsters scary is the mystery.
If you dissect them and break down everything that makes them tick, you lose thatJawseffect, he acknowledges.
The Sound of Silence
The look of the monsters is only a part of the equation.
This movie takes place in New York City, an extremely loud place.
We talked about how these environments should change and what kind of sounds we wanted to explore in that.
It was a challenge for the actors too.
It reminded me of playing the Floor is Lava when you were little, Nyongo says.
You have a very specific limitation.
You cant do anything naturalistically.
Even running my hands over my head is risky business.
But for Sarnoski, creating that silent soundscape was a lot more complex than simply turning the volume down.
It feels more like silence to have few but very specific sounds, like wind and someones quiet breathing.
A Quiet Place: Day One opens in theaters on June 28.
