Emily Blunt Calls Herself and John Krasinski Stupid for Initial Refusal to Do 'A Quiet Place' Sequel Movie When speaking to Kelly Clarkson on her daytime talk show, the 'Mary Poppins Returns' star admits that her actor/director husband 'did the impossible' in creating 'A Quiet Place Part II'. May 25, 2021 The married couple played husband and wife in the 2018 hit horror film, also directed by John, in which a family of four is forced to exist in near silence to escape the clutches of monsters with an acute sense of hearing. Even though the movie scared up over $340 million (£240 million) in global earnings, Emily and John "dug" their heels in and refused to make a follow up, until they eventually realized they were being "too precious" about the original.
