I'll take it. We've gone too long without a new film from him. Plus, it'll help get his more personal projects off the ground.

Imagine a quiet Michael Shannon???? If we can painstakingly replace the monsters in the first film with Michael Shannon, it would overtake There Will Be Blood as my favorite film.

The whole movie is basically just Michael Shannon with a massive hangover just icing folks because he needs some goddamn peace and quiet.

Disappointing. I'd like to see what he can offer to the universe.

I’m more than happy with him making a new sci-fi film

Meh imo Jeff Nichols is too talented of a director to make some horror sequel/ spin off that will ultimately be a cheap cash grab at best Don't get me wrong, the original A Quiet Place was good harmless fun but the sequel was pretty disappointing imo. And does A Quiet Place franchise really deserve a universe & countless spin offs? Its clear as day to me that Paramount is just trying to milk this franchise for all its worth (kinda like how AMC has milked The Walking Dead with its countless spinoffs. I mean damn, talk about overkill) I'm relieved that Jeff Nichols is making a new/original sci fi film instead . . Lord knows Hollywood could use some more original content.

Yeah, that's a lot of prejudgement. Nichols himself was supposed to write the script and direct. You just claimed that he's a very talented filmmaker, so why don't you trust his vision and talent? Why are you so sure that it's gonna be a "cheap cash grab"? We don't even know much about the script or what he wanted to make, it could've been something truly special that would take the whole universe into directions we never could imagine because as you've said, he's a talented filmmaker. And no need to bash horror films, there had been a lot of good sequels and spin-offs in the past. I'm sure some thought the man who made a very original and creative film like "Memento" was also "too talented" to direct a superhero film but you know what happened. I'm no fan of the whole "you make a franchise film/big studio film, so you're selling your soul to the devil" narrative or seeing it as something tragic. I like directors to explore and try new things. I'm glad he's making a new/original film as I've enjoyed most of his stuff but would definitely like to see what he - a truly interesting director - could bring to a franchise like this. I hope they'll use his script, at least.

I would have never thought that at all and was very excited at the time that the director of Memento was going to reboot the Batman franchise. And I never ever once stated that Jeff Nichols or any director that makes a franchise film is some sort of sell out either. That's just not true. And also I didn't bash the horror film genre in my post either. I like a LOT of horror films so I have no clue where you got that from . I even stated that I enjoyed the 1st Quiet Place in my post too. I just used AMC & The Waling Dead as an example of studios milking franchises to death that's all. And its true too. You can't deny that. Also, the spin off that Nichols was set to direct is based on an idea made from John Krasinski (at least according to the articles I have came across) I brought up the question is A Quiet Place really worthy of having an entire cinematic universe? The sequel was pretty redundant and didn't seem to further the story all that much.

The sequel was pretty redundant and didn't seem to further the story all that much. Sorry if it came out that way. I didn't mean you specifically but the general attitude to indie directors making bigger films like this. By bashing horrors, I meant you claiming that it's "some horror sequel/ spin off that will ultimately be a cheap cash grab at best" as if it's not possible to make a good sequel or a spin-off film to a successful horror. I don't believe that the filmmaker like him would be okay with making a "cash grab" at the first place. I agree that the sequel was very disappointing but it was not directed by Jeff Nichols and it was a direct sequel to the previous film. Meanwhile this one was supposed to be a spin-off, and we didn't even know what kind of direction they had in their mind. Without knowing that, it's hard to claim if it's worthy of having a cinematic universe or not. The idea might come from Krasinski but Emily said he had "many ideas". Obviously this particular idea, whatever it was, appealed to Nichols enough that he was okay with writing a full feature-length film and also direct it. And despite Krasinski blowing it up with the sequel, the original movie still had a very interesting concept and Jeff was a smart writer/director enough to find something new to explore here, something unique and original. Maybe that's why Krasinski wanted him because he knew he's not capable of doing it himself. Just because previous instalment was bad, it doesn't mean it's not possible to make a good film in the same universe ever again. Anyways no need to further argue about it; I think our points are clear to each other. Obviously I'm glad that he's making another film for himself but I wouldn't be so sure that it was some cash grab and/or that he wouldn't be able to make a great film in the universe. I genuinely believe that he was capable of bringing something fresh and interesting to the universe/concept.

I genuinely believe that he was capable of bringing something fresh and interesting to the universe/concept. Oh dude no need to apologize ever. You made very good points regarding Nichols' talent (as a director/writer) and I'm in total agreement that he seems like a young hungry director that is wanting to put his own spin on something. I'll see how this all plays out. IMO I think its gonna work out for all those that are involved. Krasinski has some idea for a spin off (so that gives him another shot at directing another film in the Quiet Place universe and Nichols is probably going to be dong something out of left field with his sci fi project. ) .
