Jeff Nichols, the original director of A Quiet Place: Day One, has revealed what made him leave the project after he had been hired as a writer and director by John Krasinski himself. Unfortunately, due to creative differences, he unexpectedly left the project. After his departure, Paramount Pictures decided to scrap everything and start from zero with writer/director Michael Sarnoski, the director responsible for Nicolas Cage's 2021 thriller Pig.
