00:00You were also a part of A Quiet Place 2, so you're the one link to the later films.
00:04What was it like re-entering this universe, and is there any advice you could give about acting in an almost silent film?
00:12Well, first of all, being back is fantastic.
00:15Having the chance to be a part of this franchise,
00:19the fact that this is a, again,
00:23successfully a character-driven narrative that, you know, that did well for the first one, and
00:30the second one, so,
00:32but this is a unique and horrifying take on
00:36a terror, you know, taking place in New York City, a place that never sleeps, a place that's, you know,
00:42one of the loudest places in the world, and so how do you,
00:45and it's quite a contradiction, actually, to the theme of our movie,
00:50which is all about being silent.
00:52Do you think you could survive in this world in real life? Like, could you stay silent for X amount of days?
00:58Well, I think if you're silent,
01:01without knowing, you can survive a lot of things.
01:03I think you can overcome a lot of things without knowing how much you're, yeah, you're having to overcome, yeah.
