The second part of the horror film A Quiet Place will be finally shown on May 28 after a year of postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The critically acclaimed film will now continue its story as the remaining members of the Abbott family try to survive while battling unknown creatures that hunt by sound.

In an article released by GMA News Online, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, and Millicent Simmonds share their experience in filming A Quiet Place.

John, who played the role of Lee in the first movie and is also the director of A Quiet Place, shared how this project changed his life.

"It's changed my life in the biggest way for me, which is creative freedom, the idea of doing the most personal thing I've ever done in my career, the most personal story I've ever told.

"Getting to do that increases this level of confidence and this sort of insatiable new need to try it again and keep doing bigger and more different things. I never would have the confidence to try to do a sequel or try to do any other type of thing if it wasn't for this first movie."

John admitted that his wife and co-actor Emily were both surprised with the audience's reaction to the film.

"I was so genuinely happy, Emily and I were so emotionally blown away by the response from the first movie, and that's not a line. People who saw it at South by Southwest the first time were shaken. I mean that response was -- we expected a couple of our friends to give us a high five. I didn't know that we had so many friends. (Laughter)"

Emily, who is known for her performance as Evelyn, shared her experience in fighting an enemy and the need to be silent.

"It's interesting because I think John does write in that metaphorical sense of --this is not a superficial horror film, the second one is certainly not that either. Really what the film is about is yes, you've got this enemy and this idea of being invaded by something that scares you and the fractured sense of community that happens, the shutting down that happens.

"But ultimately, I think this film is fairly hopeful because it's about people's need for togetherness, people's need for that fractured community to resolve itself."

Emily also shared how her role affected her when she played a character that experienced loss in an uncertain situation.

"It is very personal for me to play this part so certain scenes to do with the loss of a child or potential loss of a child or loss of a partner were quite painful at times to do. Those scenes certainly take it out of you because you do have to go somewhere else and it's not a fun place."

Millicent, who is known as Regan in the film, shared how she feels doing a second movie.

The young actress said, "It was amazing and such an honor to be a part of the second one because you don't often get that opportunity to do a sequel.

"And what's different between the first and second one is A Quiet Place II really has a lot more action, I had to do a lot more stunt work, which of course was a lot of fun."
