Steven Spielberg inspired John Krasinski’sA Quiet Place
ActorJohn Krasinski, who wrote, directed, and starred in 2018’sA Quiet Place, once revealed that a scene from directorSteven Spielberg‘s 1993 film,Jurassic Park, was the primary inspiration behindA Quiet Place. In a 2018 interview with Empire, Krasinski revealed,
“I loved the idea of your second and third chance – meaning, if you did make a sound, you go into a whole other level of survival which is, ‘Now that I’ve made a sound, if I run I’m dead, if I stay still I may be dead’. The idea of the Jurassic Park kitchen scene – if you make a sound, you have to stay still and hope that they don’t get to you – that was always in my mind.”
Krasinski’s film explores the theme of survival in a world overrun by creatures who are blind but use their hearing abilities to hunt down human beings. Krasinski’s wife, Emily Blunt, also starred in the movie.
