On March 10, the writers of A Quiet Place are taking audiences back to Earth in 65, a new spin on the alien planet thriller. In the movie directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and Adam Driver is Mills, the pilot and one of the few survivors of a crash-landed spacecraft now marooned on dangerous terrain. During an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Driver shares which element of this “big-scale” sci-fi drew him to this script, on top of battling dinosaurs, the father-daughter relationship, and teases a bit about his character’s background. Driver also discusses the likelihood of him hosting Saturday Night Live again and shares his experience working with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola on his upcoming epic, Megalopolis.
In 65, Mills discovers that he isn’t the sole survivor of the crash. A young girl named Koa, played by Ariana Greenblatt (In the Heights), is also stranded on what they believe to be an uncharted planet. As the two venture from the ship, they quickly learn their new surroundings are unforgiving, and the planet is inhabited by enormous, dangerous creatures – dinosaurs. With only one chance to escape a world where survival belongs to the fittest, a treacherous journey lies ahead of Mills and Koa.
