(UTV | COLOMBO) – “Take Shelter” and “Mud” director Jeff Nichols has exited plans to direct a spin-off set within the “A Quiet Place” universe at Paramount Pictures.
Deadline reports Nicholas and Paramount are amicably parting ways on the new film with Nichols pivoting to focus on a sci-fi project he is developing at Paramount which the studio is very keen on.
The studio is now seeking a replacement director and is expected to act fast as the film is still a high priority and is based on an idea by John Krasinski who will produce alongside Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.
The recent “A Quiet Place Part II” earned $297 million worldwide.
