Att skapa ett minnesvärt filmmonster kan vara en tuff uppgift om man avslöjar alla hemligheter på en gång, men John Krasinski tyckts ha hittat mer subtila vis för att behålla det ljudkänsliga monstrets skräckinjagande närvaro utan att visa för mycket i kommande A Quiet Place. I en Cinemablend-intervju med producenterna Andrew Form och Brad Fuller berättar de nämligen att Krasinskis inspiration för filmen var Spielbergs kultförklarade Jaws, som ju var försiktig med att visa det faktiska odjuret till en början:
"Creatively, John was always talking about Jaws. From the first conversation we've ever had about the movie, he was referencing that film. We've all learned that, Brad and I have worked on a lot of these genre films, the less you show the scarier. We really talked about when do you show the creature? How much here or there? That scene in the cornfield with Reagan, the daughter, that scene could've been two minutes longer with the two of them. It was really talked about, how much to show"
Att hitta subtila vis visade sig dock inte vara den enda utmaningen under filmproduktionen, då själva monsterdesignen inte visade sig vara en lätt uppgift eftersom man redan har sett allt vid det här laget:
"The design of the creature was definitely the hardest part of it. Luckily, we had ILM on the movie, who to us, are one of the best in the world, and we just kept challenging ourselves, because everyone will always say to you, 'Everything's been done. What's your creature look like?' How do you do anything new anymore, with the amount of movies that have been made? So you have these artists drawing designs and everyone looks at them and they're like 'No, that looks like Alien or that looks like this, that looks like that,' and it's really a challenge to come up with something fresh and new. We did have the sound element, which was our big deal. The hearing and the ears were the most important part of these creatures. Very late in the design process, the design of the creature actually happened and ILM, I'm sure, wishes it was six months earlier but we definitely were struggling with the design and are wildly happy with the way it came out"
