After an eight-year absence, filmmaker Jeff Nichols returned to cinemas this week with his Tom Hardy and Austin Butler-led motorcycle gang drama The Bikeriders.
As we know, Nichols has been trying to get an original sci-fi film done at that time – one that was going to be branded as an “Alien Nation” reimagining has since ended up at another studio, and no title is present.
In that time, he was also attached to the spin-off of “A Quiet Place,” a film he exited over creative differences. So what were those creative differences? Nicholas was asked by The Wrap why he decided to not make the film.
He reveals he didn’t want to be saddled as an IP filmmaker – rather he wants to do films with his own personal signature:
“It’s hard to say this without sounding pretentious but I’ve made enough films at this point in my career, that if I do this, it’s going to become my film, and the truth is ‘Quiet Place,’ those are John [Krasinski’s] films. At some point, you realize, it’s never going to be my film. It’s better if I just step away and let some other people do that.”
Ultimately Nicholas was replaced by “Pig” filmmaker Michael Sarnoski who directed the movie, which became “A Quiet Place: Day One” opening in release this coming Friday and is tracking for an opening in the $42-51 million range – 4-5x that of the $10 million “The Bikeriders” just debuted with.
