Ready furr their close-up: How cats became catnip to cinema
The most unbelievable thing about 2024's A Quiet Place: Day One was not its premise of world-invading ultrasonic-hearing aliens, but rather that a cat in such a situation wouldn't have everyone within its vicinity immediately killed by tapping a delicately balanced glass off a table. Cats are - and I say this with nothing but love and admiration - really dumb. It's why the internet loves videos of them so much. A feline flying through the air at the sight of a pea? They're more hilarious idiots than the evil genius Blofeld's cat would have us believe. But what if all this time we've been wrong to pigeonhole them to silly clips involving keyboards and cucumbers? Indeed, recent years have seen a notable rise in cats taking on starring roles in critically lauded films and TV, suggesting that traditional purr-ceptions are changing - and Hollywood dog bias is dead. Everybody wants to cast a cat From the adventurous kitty in Gints Zilbalodis's award-decorated animation Flow, to Lucio the Maine Coon in Steven Zaillian's Ripley, on-screen cats have totally been having a meow-ment. More importantly, these are felines playing heroes or complex side characters, no longer typecast to villainous sidekicks or horror movie jump scares. For filmmaker Eva Victor, whose upcoming movie Sorry, Baby follows a young professor. healing from trauma, the power of casting cats is their ability to reflect subtle human emotions through their body language. "Cats are insane. They're everything. It's because you don't talk to them, but they know exactly how you are feeling, and you know how they are feeling, and there's a telepathy that over time you build with a cat," Victor said in an interview with Punch Drunk Ciritcs. "They have very human-like needs and moods, and changes," Victor added, also reassuring audiences that Olga (the cat in her movie) does not die. "Like y'all. I would never do that to us. You have to believe me. The cat survives.' Warning/slight spoiler: The same can't be guaranteed for poor little Junkman in this year's Bring Her Back. Last year, the Quiet Place prequel revealed breakout performance(s) from two tuxedo cats named Nico and Schnitzel, who together play Frodo, the emotional support animal to terminally ill Samira (Lupita Nyong'o). In typically dog-like fashion, Frodo is fiercely loyal to Samira. He sometimes runs off when there are loud noises, but always returns. He helps chance companion, Eric (Joseph Quinn), find her medication, and manages to turn on our tear ducts with every lingering look - did you know cats actually have 276 distinct feline facial expressions? Daniel Day Lewis could never. And ok, while the cats' performances are no Messi-the-dog-in-Anatomy of a Fall, they do appear to do their own stunts (even getting wet at one point) and won over the hearts of cinemagoers the world over. The risk of cat-astrophe While in many ways it's a genius move to cast a cute cat in a leading role - and quite possibly the answer to all box office woes - it can still be a major gamble. Cats are famously tough to work with due to their aloof personas and penchant for doing the exact opposite of what's asked of them out of seemingly sheer spiteful satisfaction. Ray Berwick, who was responsible for training dozens of cats for the 1969 film Eye of the Cat, once admitted this was more difficult than his work with the flock of feathered fiends in Hitchcock's The Birds, while in 2019, 'Game of Thrones' show runners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss 'killed off' a ginger tabby called Ser Pounce due, in part, to it being such a diva on set. 'Dogs generally do what you ask them to do if they're smart and well trained. Cats have their own agenda,' Weiss said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Thankfully, advances in CGI have made it easier to feature felines - omitting its use in the movie adaptation of Cats, which almost singlehandedly ruined an entire species' reputation. But for director Michael Sarnoski, it was important to keep Frodo real in a film that centres human connection over the predominantly fearful tension of its predecessors. 'We managed it with incredible cat trainers and incredible cat performers. Everyone assumed we wouldn't be able to pull it off the old fashioned way, but I'm really happy we did,' Sarnoski told The Hollywood Reporter. Despite the fact cats have been gracing movies for over a century - a Maltese kitty named Pepper was reportedly the first after being born on the California lot of Keystone Studios in 1912 - there's still a notable lack of recognition for their cinematic contributions. While canines get the Palm Dog Award at the Cannes Film Festival and invited to the Oscars, cats are left longing for the halcyon days of ancient Egypt. May we suggest a Pussy Palm? Some sort of golden feather on a stick award? When asked for comment, my Persian cat Gertrude looks incredulous and walks away after being refused a (highly unethical) bribe of Dreamies. Who am I kitten? They don't give a damn about any of this. Catnip and cardboard boxes will suffice.

A Quiet Place 3 update: John Krasinski returns to write, direct and produce famous apocalyptic franchise
John Krasinski is officially returning to the world of silence and suspense as the director, writer, and producer of 'A Quiet Place Part 3', Paramount Pictures has confirmed. While casting details remain unannounced, it is currently unknown whether Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, and Millicent Simmonds — who starred alongside Krasinski in the original 2018 film — will reprise their roles. Fans hoping for a full reunion of the Abbott family may be disappointed, as the studio has teased. If you don't know what happens to Krasinski's character, we won't spoil it, but don't expect a family reunion. Plot details are being tightly guarded, with the story of the next chapter in the post-apocalyptic franchise still under wraps. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on July 9, 2027. It will be produced by Krasinski and Allyson Seeger's Sunday Night Productions — which holds a first-look deal with Paramount — in collaboration with Platinum Dunes. Krasinski previously directed the first two entries in the Quiet Place series, which has been a massive commercial success, earning over $900 million globally. Most recently, 'A Quiet Place: Day One', a spin-off released in 2024 and directed by Michael Sarnoski, expanded the universe beyond the original storyline. Krasinski shared the news of his return to the director's chair via Instagram, rekindling excitement among fans of the franchise. The announcement arrives as Paramount Global, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, nears the completion of its sale to Skydance — a merger expected to finalise next week. Although his recent family comedy 'IF' fell short at the box office, Krasinski's re-entry into horror is set to reignite interest in one of the genre's most successful recent franchises.

"A Quiet Place 3" Lands 2027 Release Date, John Krasinski Returns as Director
Yara Sameh John Krasinski is returning as the director, writer, and producer of 'A Quiet Place Part III.' The cast is not confirmed at this time, so it's unclear if Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds, who co-starred with Krasinski in the first film, will return. Plot details of the sequel are being kept under wraps, but we're going out on a limb to guess that they involve alien creatures with very sharp hearing, and human beings who have to evade them on tiptoe while using their inside voices. Paramount Pictures will release 'A Quiet Place Part III' in theaters on July 9, 2027. Krasinski and Allyson Seeger's Sunday Night Productions, which has a first-look deal with the studio, is producing along with Platinum Dunes. Krasinski directed the first two films in the 'Quiet Place' franchise, with Michael Sarnoski directing the 2024 spin-off 'A Quiet Place: Day One.' The series has grossed over $900 million. Krasinski also directed the family comedy 'IF' for Paramount, but the film was a box office disappointment. Krasinski got his start on the NBC sitcom 'The Office.' He also starred in the Amazon Prime series 'Jack Ryan' and appeared in such films as 'It's Complicated,' 'Promised Land' and '13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.' He most recently starred opposite Natalie Portman in 'Fountain of Youth' for Apple Original Films. Krasinski announced his involvement on the third 'Quiet Place' film on Instagram. The news comes as Paramount Global, the studio's parent company, is finalizing its sale to Skydance — a deal that is expected to close next week. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
