An exclusive clip from A Quiet Place Part II goes into how the monstrous aliens were created for the terrifying film. Starring Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe, the sequel to the highly successful original film finally hit theaters in May. Picking up directly after the events of the first film, A Quiet Place Part II finds the Abbott family leaving their peaceful farm after the tragic death of John Krasinski's Lee Abbott. Knowing they can no longer stay at the farm, and with a newborn baby in tow, the remaining Abbot's journey into a dangerous world and quickly run into one of the hearing-sensitive creatures.
The Abbott's are saved by Cillian Murphy's Emmett, a friend of the Abbott's who gets swept up in their family drama. A Quiet Place Part II's plot is split over three intertwined stories, each one of which sees various members of the Abbott family facing off against the terrifying creatures. The prologue of the movie also gave a glimpse at the alien's arrival on earth as the Abbott's are at a baseball game and many speculate that a third film and a planned A Quiet Place spinoff will delve deep into the origins of the aliens.
Luckily, an exclusive new video also gives a glimpse at the alien's origins from behind the scenes. The clip, which is part of the special features included on A Quiet Place Part II Digital, Blu-ray, 4K releases, looks at both the first and the second film to give audiences an idea of how the aliens were created for the film. The creators wanted to make the creatures a natural extension of evolution that was "based in reality" while keeping them as terrifying as possible. Kransinski reveals in the video that, in making the sequel, they wanted to see what more they could add to the creatures to keep them as exciting as they were in the first film. Check out the full clip below:
Luckily, it seems like Krasinski and co. have certainly succeeded in keeping these terrifying creatures fresh and exciting. A Quiet Place Part II reveals the alien's aversion to water among other weaknesses that the Abbot's and other humans can manipulate to stay alive. How this will carry over into future films is of the utmost importance - will the Abbott's ever be able to find sanctuary? The franchise doesn't seem like it would expand in scope to the point where humanity is fighting the aliens together, but it certainly seems like the conclusion of the series could see the remaining members of the Abbot family find some semblance of peace.
How that is achieved will likely be explored in the planned sequel that will be a direct follow-up to this year's hit. With A Quiet Place Part II's impressive haul at the box office, a sequel was all but guaranteed. Additionally, the film was one of the earliest to indicate that theaters were slowly getting back on the track to recovery after 2020. Now, A Quiet Place Part II will finally be hitting digital stores this week and those who missed it in theaters can finally catch the film at home.
A Quiet Place Part II is now available to purchase on Digital and stream on Paramount+. The film arrives on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray and DVD July 27 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
