NEW YORK – The 2018 and 2020 A Quiet Place films imagined the aftermath of an invasion by killer aliens that hunt using their acute sense of hearing, forcing humans to stay quiet to survive.
Now in Singapore cinemas, the story features Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o as Sam, a terminally ill woman who finds herself in Manhattan when meteorites crash to Earth and the extraterrestrials begin their deadly attacks. She had tried to talk Michael Sarnoski, A Quiet Place: Day One’s American writer-director, into changing the script so it would be a different animal.When he said no, she decided to do therapy to manage her fear.
“I think it was that: being able to ask questions, hear the answers and gain confidence in the fact that this cat was not going to scratch me or eat me,” explains the star, who appeared in the horror film Us and the Black Panther superhero films . She had some experience with this, having attended a 10-day silent meditation retreat. But that still did not make it easy staying mute for long stretches of time.Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o attending the New York premiere of A Quiet Place: Day One on June 26, 2024.

“It was really exciting to get to dive into something that’s already been established, but be given the freedom to find characters and the storyline that I was passionate about,” says the film-maker, who directed the indie drama Pig starring Nicolas Cage.
