Here's the Scoop...
John Krasinski has begun filming A Quiet Place: Part II.
The 39-year-old actor shared a photo Monday on Twitter from the set of the film, a sequel to his 2018 movie A Quiet Place.
Buffalo News said production started last week in Olcott, N.Y. The film will shoot for about 35 days in Erie County, 10 days in Chautauqua County, two days in Dutchess County and one day in Ulster County.
Production will invest more than $10 million in New York and hire more than 400 workers, according to NBC 2 WGRZ.
Krasinski directed and starred in A Quiet Place, which co-starred his wife, actress Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe. Krasinski will direct the sequel, which stars Blunt, Simmonds, Jupe and Cillian Murphy.
A Quiet Place follows the Abbotts (Krasinski, Blunt, Simmonds and Jupe), a family struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by sightless extraterrestrial creatures. The sequel introduces other survivors.
"In some ways, the idea of seeing who these people were before this all happened would be interesting, but I'm not quite sure because I think actually it's now what's the next chapter and what happens next," Blunt told Entertainment Weekly in November.
"I think people feel very invested in this family... I think it's such an open book right now, and certainly for John who is lasering into something as we speak."
Krasinski and Blunt married in July 2010 and are parents to two daughters, 5-year-old Hazel and 3-year-old Violet. A Quiet Place: Part II opens in theaters March 20, 2020.

Which actor has been cast as Elvis Presley in a new biopic?
Austin Butler has been selected to portray Elvis Presley in a biopic from filmmaker Baz Luhrmann.
Harry Styles, Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller and Aaron Taylor-Johnson had also auditioned for the role.
The untitled biopic will chronicle Presley's rise to stardom and his relationship with his manager, Col. Tom Parker, who will be portrayed by Tom Hanks.
Luhrmann (The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge) penned the script with Craig Pearce. Production will begin in early 2020 in Queensland, Australia.
"I knew I couldn't make this film if the casting wasn't absolutely right, and we searched thoroughly for an actor with the ability to evoke the singular natural movement and vocal qualities of this peerless star, but also the inner vulnerability of the artist," Luhrmann said in a statement.
Butler has appeared in The Carrie Diaries, Switched at Birth and Zoey 101. He stars in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood which arrives in theaters on July 26.
