Jeff Nichols Bails On ‘A Quiet Place’ Spinoff Movie To Focus On Another Sci-Fi Project At Paramount

Director Jeff Nicholas (Mud, Midnight Special) has been trying to help studios get IP film projects off-the-ground with his longtime gestating remake of the James Caan-led sci-fi buddy cop action flick Alien Nation for 20th Century Studios before Disney bought them, he since has been trying to convince them to pick up a television incarnation (the original film spawned a TV show) after they passed on the movie.

He then moved on to Paramount Pictures and was assigned to write/direct a third film in the A Quiet Place franchise, the project being described more of a spinoff than a direct sequel to the last one. However, according to Deadline, he’s exiting that one too.

The report says he’ll instead focus on his other sci-fi project at Paramount that was first announced over the summer without any clear plot details or a synopsis. Exiting the spinoff on good terms and the studio is now seeking a replacement.

Hopefully, Nicholas is able to actually make a movie soon because it’s starting to get weird seeing him struggle to get projects made when he’s so talented.

Another big film has been moved from the spring as Paramount Pictures has also delayed their anticipated horror flick A Quiet Place Part II moving it from April 23rd to September 17th.

Studios weighing closures of theaters alongside the the slow rollout of the vaccine has led to a bulk of the spring line-up being pushed to the summer and fall. In the case of some Sony Pictures films such as Uncharted and Morbius, moved completely out of 2021 to early 2022.

Paramount seems to be committed to a theatrical release of their films despite the rebranding of the streaming service CBS All Access as Paramount+ coming soon.
