Where was A Quiet Place 2 filmed? The Island and ALL the Filming Locations
Posted by Ra Moon
Silence is not enough in the sequel to the acclaimed movie directed by John Krasinski. The world of sonically sensitive creatures picks up where part one left off.
A Quiet Place Part II was primarily filmed at several locations throughout Western New York. The production also returned to a couple of the original locations in Dutchess County (the house) and in Ulster County (the bridge), where the movie begins.
A Quiet Place Part II was primarily filmed at several locations throughout Western New York. The production also returned to a couple of the original locations in Dutchess County (the house) and in Ulster County (the bridge), where the movie begins.
The surviving family members are forced to leave the farm after the barn was burned down, with a newborn baby. Evelyn Abbott (played by real-life Krasinski's wife, Emily Blunt) must now take her children to the outside world, facing new unexpected monsters: People.
If the first film was focused on how you avoid getting caught, the second part feels like a runaway train. The new movie also answers all those questions about day one, and the origin of this invasion.
We will also see how this affected other people beyond the Abbott family, including Emmett (played by Cillian Murphy), an old friend of Lee (Krasinski).
The movie was originally scheduled for release in March 2020, then delayed until September 2020 before it was postponed again until May 2021. Here is our soundless, spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of A Quiet Place 2:
A Quiet Place 2 Locations
Film crews transformed Main Street in Akron, NY, adding new facades and repainting storefronts to film the day-one flashback scenes set in Millbrook.
In the shocking inside-a-car scene with Emily Blunt driving in reverse, she had a real bus coming at her at 40 miles per hour. The bus stunt, featured in the official trailer, was done all in one shot, and the final footage is from the first (and only) take.
This sequence reminds me a bit of the impossible Children of Men car scene, the Alfonso Cuarón 2006 masterpiece.

The farmhouse where the Abbott family lived before the events that took place in the first installment of A Quiet Place is a house located in the village of Pawling, off a trail at 623 W Dover Road.
According to the Pawling public records in Realtor, the house was built in 1880 and has approximately 5,732 square feet, nine beds with four full bathrooms. The film crew built a new metal silo and doubled the size of the barn to host the production.

After leaving the farm, the Abbotts arrive at the former Bethlehem Steel property in Lackawanna (Lennox Steel in the movie).
The plant was abandoned after steelmaking ceased on this site in 1983, leaving a rusting 489 contaminated acres of land.
The Bethlehem Steel company was once one of the world's largest steel-producing and warship-building companies, employing upward of 25,000 people only in this steel mill.

As The Buffalo News reported, the scene when Regan leaves the foundry following the railway track was filmed in and around the Orchard Park village railroad depot.

The spectacular South Grand Island Bridge crossing the Niagara River between Tonawanda (near the city of Buffalo) and Grand Island is featured in one of the great post-apocalyptic scenes of the movie.
To film this sequence, in August 2019 the production shut down the northbound lanes of the bridge for 13 hours.

The rusty metallic bridge with the hand-made cross memorial has become one of the icons of the movie.
The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail bridge in New Paltz is part of a 15-mile long park that follows an old railroad line that ceased service in 1997.

Set dressers strewn Ontario Street in Olcott with wreckage and debris, the closest street to Lake Ontario, for one day of filming.

Great movie sequel, which in many ways is better than the first one - really enjoyed it.

The cast and crew were wonderful to the residents of Grand Island when they filmed on our bridges. Very friendly to those trying to get a glimpse of the action.

The picture of a map with The Island Colony is actually a map of Long Island Sound and the South part of Connecticut. It looks like it is Sheffield Island.
