Question: is the quiet place based off a book

Answer: No, A Quiet Place is a 2018 American science fiction horror thriller film directed by John Krasinski, who stars with Emily Blunt, his real-life wife. The film is produced by Michael Bay's company, Platinum Dunes, which is also run by Andrew Form and Bradley Fuller. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods began working on the story in 2014, and Paramount Pictures bought their spec script in 2017. Krasinski then joined as a director and wrote a new draft of the script. Principal photography took place later in the year in upstate New York. In A Quiet Place, a family must live life in silence while hiding from extraterrestrial creatures that hunt by sound.
