Director Michael Sarnoski informed the Hollywood Reporter that his prequel to John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place franchise relied on the Frodo the cat’s position in Sam’s story—however that it persevering with on with Eric (Quinn) crops a sequel seed. “By way of Frodo and thru Sam, [Eric] finds this campfire within the storm that turns into the factor he follows,” Sarnoski.

In order that’s a really free, unofficial sequel tease.”
