The first photo, a teaser trailer and poster have been released for the Buffalo-made film "A Quiet Place Part II" and although they look rather nondescript, they also seem to give us an important bit of information about the sequel.
In the photo, the surviving members of the Abbott family – mother Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and her teen children Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and Marcus (Noah Jupe), are walking through a forest. Look closer and you'll see that Evelyn is carrying a baby, which she gave birth to at the end of "A Quiet Place." She also is wearing the dress she delivered the baby in and her injured foot is still wrapped in a bandage – all signs pointing to the fact that the sequel picks up where the first movie left off.
The teaser trailer, which outside of ambient noise is silent, shows the family ready to stray off the sand path that has helped them walk quietly and evade creatures that hunt by sound. The teaser poster shows them approaching an abandoned industrial area, which would signify that they have left the safety of their farm.

The original "A Quiet Place" from Paramount Pictures grossed more than $340 million worldwide and was a hit with fans and critics. It starred real-life husband and wife John Krasinski and Emily Blunt as a couple trying to protect their family from the alien creatures.
Though the studio and filmmakers have kept plot details tightly under wraps, Krasinski total Total Film that the sequel will continue the conversation from the original film about whether you should just try to survive or thrive in a post-apocalyptic world.
"I love the idea of the first one, that Emily and I as characters were all about surviving versus the thriving. All [my character] wanted to do was survive,” adds Krasinski. “And [her character] says, ‘That’s not enough. We have to thrive. We have to let these kids be whole human beings.’ And after I’m gone, I’m loving seeing Emily really battle with that – that maybe survival was the way to go. And maybe this idea of thriving was too dangerous.”
This is plot synopsis released by the studio: "Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe) must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path."
