It’s an impossible thing to imagine….
When you live there, you block out all the sound quite naturally.
You just forget to hear the sound.

EW has an exclusive first look atA Quiet Place: Day One.
As everything quickly goes to hell, she’s thrown together with a man named Eric (Quinn).
With some reluctance, the pair agree to navigate and survive the city together.
We don’t have that in this film.
How do they negotiate survival together?
I guess there’s a bit of a variation on a theme.
Here we go again, he says.
The actor seesDay Oneas more of an escape movie rather than a survival story.
Its more of a [character] drama than anything, Quinn notes.
Some of those other roles are played by SarnoskisPigactorAlex WolffandA Quiet PlaceveteranDjimon Hounsou.
Well, let’s just say that this film will satisfy many, she responds.
Sarnoski, Nyong’o points out, is clearly aLord of the Ringsfan.
Frodo has already changed Nyong’o’s life, having single-handedly turned her into a cat person.
“Our relationship had a very steep arc,” she recalls.
“I was afraid of cats when I started this movie.
By the end of the movie, I was crying leaving that cat.
Now I am definitely a cat mom.
