Emily Blunt pokes fun at horror hit A Quiet Place in hilarious skit

The hotly-anticipated sequel to horror film A Quiet Place is set to be released next week.

And Emily Blunt has set out on the promotional trail for the film, which is written and directed by her husband John Krasinski, as she made an appearance on Tuesday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The actress, 37, starred in a hilarious sketch entitled A Quiet Plane on the talk show, taking on the role of a stewardess on board the world’s first silent airplane.

Before the hilarious advert played, Jimmy joked with Emily about how she and her husband had such a successful franchise that they were ‘dipping [their] toes in the airline industry.’

The Marry Poppins Returns star said in response: ‘Well yea, we thought it was time to diversify because the brand is now out there.’

Given the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Jimmy asked if it was really ‘a good time to get into the airline industry’, but Emily was determined as she said ‘it could be a rough time starting off.’

Prompting the ad to play, Emily began: ‘We know you have choices when you travel so thank you for choosing us, the only airline with silence guaranteed. 

‘Please pay attention to these safety instructions, that make our aircraft is the quietest in the sky. It’s important to keep your mouth securely closed at all times.’

When one person is seen asking where their fellow passenger is from, Emily’s flight attendant appears out of nowhere to shush them.

In another scene she explains that ‘use of cellular phones is not permitted on board’, and when a passenger talks animatedly on the phone the actress grabs it and dumps it into a kettle.

While a crying child is also not recommended, as she urges parents to ‘keep your baby at the lowest possible volume’ to avoid the monsters from A Quiet Place.

Revealing said ominous beings in the video, she adds: ‘In the event you need to make a sound one of our helpful cabin creatures will assist you.’

When a passenger questions what she means by creatures, he is suddenly lifted up into the air by one of them.

Jimmy Kimmel also becomes a victim as he’s grabbed by a monstrous hand when he makes a cabin announcement. 

Emily went on to urge passengers to keep their ‘feet on the ground, not because they are loud because they are gross’ as one person puts their feet on another person’s chair, before coughing and being taken by a creature.

Adding an amusing touch to the advert, she also said if people want to bring ‘so called support animals on our airline, make sure its a fish’, as a man with a parrot is grabbed by another monstrous hand.

Concluding the promotional material, Emily joked: ‘Thank you for joining a quiet plane, now shut the f*** up and enjoy your flight.’ 

A Quiet Place was a surprise hit, raking in over $340million at the US domestic box office alone, and it was John’s third feature as director and was made on a relatively small $17million budget.

The official synopsis for A Quiet Place Part II reads, ‘Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence.’

‘Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.’ 

A Quiet Place Part II is set for release in cinemas on March 19, 2020 in the UK and on March 20 in the USA.
