In the first installment of our “A Quiet Place Day One Interview” series, we had the pleasure of speaking with Emily Blunt, who plays the protagonist, Evelyn Abbott. Blunt, known for her versatility as an actress, was faced with the daunting task of portraying a mother in a world where silence is everything. During our interview, she shared her initial thoughts and emotions on the day she began shooting this groundbreaking film.
On the morning of her first day on set, Emily Blunt arrived with a mix of excitement and anxiety. She had spent months preparing for the role, but the reality of stepping into the world of “A Quiet Place” was surreal. “I remember walking onto the set and seeing the soundproofing and the quiet,” Blunt said. “It was like stepping into a different dimension. The silence was almost palpable, and it was a little intimidating at first.”
The cast and crew had been working tirelessly to create an immersive experience that would transport viewers into the world of “A Quiet Place.” The film’s groundbreaking use of silence as a storytelling device required a level of discipline and commitment from everyone involved. Blunt explained that the first day was a learning experience for everyone, including herself. “We had to learn how to communicate without speaking, and it was a challenge to adjust to that,” she said. “But once we got the hang of it, it became second nature.”
As the day progressed, Blunt found herself deeply connected to her character, Evelyn. “Evelyn is a complex character, and I felt a strong connection to her from the start,” Blunt shared. “She’s a mother who is willing to do anything to protect her children, and that’s something that resonates with me on a personal level. I think that’s what drew me to the role in the first place.”
The interview also touched on the collaborative nature of the production. Blunt spoke highly of her co-star, John Krasinski, who directed the film and co-wrote the screenplay. “John is an incredible collaborator,” she said. “He really listens to the cast and gives us the freedom to explore our characters. It was a wonderful experience to work with him.”
