Back in July we got word that a major motion picture production was taking over a certain area in the Hudson Valley, specifically Dutchess County. Rumor was the film had the working title of 'Little Falls". Those who know are suggesting "Little Falls" is actually going to become 'A Quiet Place: Part III.'

A Quiet Place: Part III is expected to hit theaters July of 2027. Fans are looking forward to the return of stars Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe.
