Quiet place 2 cast5/7/2023 The Knockturnal: What was your creative process and how did you get into character for this film?ĭjimon Hounsou: I would say, the creative process mostly came from John Krasinski himself. That was truly the last outing because we had gone to New York to do the press junket for a weekend and then shortly after that, I think the following weekend we were supposed to travel to London for the international press and for the premiere there, and the film was only a week away from hitting the theaters when drama happened and then there was a world pandemic. Was the premiere your last outing of 2020?ĭjimon Hounsou: You got it. I think you need the silence of the theater the intensity of everyone around you. I don’t think this is one that you can just watch at your house. I think the threat is not even so much the creature, I think the sound is actually the creature and the fear of having to not make any sound. He’s trying to cope with the new environment, the new setting, the lack of community with people. You know, he’s just a man who desperately needed to save his family and himself. Can you please tell our readers a little bit about your role and who you play?ĭjimon Hounsou: Well, I can just say to you that we can forget about the “man on the island” part. The Knockturnal: So your role is “Man on Island” in the film. Because in any other setting, you will miss out the two main characters, which are the sound and visual, but interestingly, this sort of paralleled what we experienced in 2020. You can only see in theaters to really appreciate and enjoy it. And, again, this is the genre that is gauged to an audience and cinematic experience. What has it been like waiting for it to come out?ĭjimon Hounsou: It’s been interesting and hopefully, this will go the way we’ve been hoping and wishing for it to happen as far as the success of this film. The Knockturnal: This film has been anticipated for over a year. Of course, for a film like this, you need to have the experience before a big screen because you will miss out on some of the main characters, like the lack of sound, which is actually a character in the story, and the visuals, so it’s better to have a cinematic experience. The Knockturnal: A Quiet Place Part II is finally coming out!ĭjimon Hounsou: Finally and thankfully. The film follows the Abbott family, after Lee Abbott (John Krasinski) sacrificed himself to save his family, on their journey to get rid of the creatures that hunt by sound, once and for all.ĭjimon Hounsou, known for his roles in Blood Diamond and Guardians of the Galaxy, chatted with The Knockturnal for a Q+A to discuss his role in the film as “Man on Island,” what it was like working with John Krasinski on set, and how he got involved in the project.Ĭheck out our full conversation with Djimon below and be sure to watch A Quiet Place II in theaters now.
