Quick News: Quiet, Lizard, Glee, Shrek, Dune

A Quiet Place: Part III
Jack O’Connell has confirmed he’ll play the brother of Cillian Murphy’s character in “A Quiet Place: Part III,” the pair working together after both appeared in “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” earlier this year.

Speaking with Collider, O’Connell says: “A Quiet Place was, that felt like family. It’s about family, obviously. Got John Krasinski and Emily Blunt involved, and Cillian and I play brothers. There was a real familial feel to that one. It was cool, man. But horror’s popping off. People are turning out for horror. So it’s great. Yeah, it’s amazing.”
