“Truly the only person I had in mind when asked whether I would hand this off was Jeff,” John shared. “I think he’s one of the best filmmakers, Mud is one of my favorite movies, and so real and intimate. It’s exactly the sort of paints we’re painting with in A Quiet Place – very organic characters you fall in love with.”
“So he was my first choice for this, and when he said yes I was over the moon,” John continued. “I pitched him my story, he’s gone and developed the world on his own with that jumping-off point, and I’m so thrilled. He’s actually just turning in a script now, and I loved it. I absolutely loved it, and I can’t wait to see him shoot this thing.”
John directed, wrote, and starred in the first A Quiet Place, which was released back in 2018. He then went on to direct and write A Quiet Place Part II, which is currently making A LOT of money at the box office.
