A new deal should resolve the alleged issues between Paramount Pictures and the director of A Quiet Place Part II.

Only a couple of days ago, we reported that the key creatives of the upcoming horror, A Quiet Place Part II were allegedly locked in a dispute with Paramount. The studioā€™s decision to half the filmā€™s theatrical exclusivity window from 90 days to 45 in the US was the source of the problem, with John Krasinski, the filmā€™s director, Emily Blunt, the filmā€™s star, and anybody else with backend deals dependent on the filmā€™s success in cinemas, fearful that they would lose out.

Itā€™s now been revealed that Krasinski has signed a first-look deal with Paramount, which will most likely resolve the issue between the two parties. Regardless, itā€™s a public show of unity from the two sides that will put to bed the reports of disharmony behind the scenes.

Under the deal, Krasinskiā€™s next film for Paramount will be an untitled project with him in front of the camera, and also starring Ryan Reynolds. Weā€™ll bring you more details on that project as we hear them. In the meantime, weā€™re all excited to see A Quiet Place Part II, when the film releases (exclusively in cinemas here in the UK,) on June 4th.
