Will there be a third ‘Quiet Place’ movie?

The possibility of a third movie hinges in part on John Krasinski's availability.

There have been three Quiet Place movies, but there has not yet been a Quiet Place 3. The first two movies were part of the same story, and then the third, A Quiet Place: Day One was effectively a prequel set in an entirely different part of this world, and focused on totally different characters.

In a new interview, Brad Fuller, the producer of the Quiet Place films, made it clear that they’d still like to make a third installment in that original series.

“So, Day One is not A Quiet Place 3, just to be clear…A Quiet Place 3, we’re starting to put it together right now,” Fuller explained. “You know, when we made the first one, John [Krasinski] didn’t have a lot on his plate. He had just come off The Office, and he wanted to be a director.”

Since that first movie, though, Krasinski has gotten busy directing and starring in upcoming projects, including Silent River and an upcoming Jack Ryan movie.

“Now, he’s so in demand, and it’s hard to get him… He’s making a movie now, so as soon as he finishes that, hopefully, he will turn his attention to [A Quiet Place 3]. We all want to finish that trilogy, and I’m hopeful there’s even more Quiet Place movies beyond that.”

Fuller also made it clear that he doesn’t want to make the third installment without Krasinski at the helm. Krasinski directed the first two movies, while Michael Sarnoski took over for Day One. What seems clear, then, is that there are no immediate plans for a third installment, but fans would certainly be thrilled if one came.

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.
