Cloverfield 2: 10 Cloverfield Lane (3/11/16)

[Bosco685]

 

Paramount Pictures and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions have pulled off one of the best surprises of all time.

 

A trailer, made to look like a bootleg, has been released for a film called 10 Cloverfield Lane starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher, Jr. and John Goodman. It IS an unannounced sequel to 2008's found footage monster flick, Cloverfield, which was directed by Matt Reeves and written by Drew Goddard. J.J., you sly dog!

 

How'd they pull this off? In 2014, Bad Robot and Paramount announced that Dan Trachtenberg (Portal: No Escape) had been hired to direct a post-apocalyptic thriller titled Valencia (aka The Cellar). However, that was a secret title for Cloverfield 2.

Even if this has nothing to do with the original Cloverfield (plot-wise)... a cabin fever/bomb shelter/survival bunker story about not knowing what's outside the airlock door & if the world is safe? Yeah. I can get into that. Especially with John Goodman being kinda crazy survivalist? Oh yeah.

I'll watch this when it's on TV.

Loved the first movie, love that this is Dan Trachtenberg's project.

I enjoyed the first one and am interested in this one.

 

I was among the viewers who got a bit of vertigo and mild feelings of nausea from the bouncing camera when I saw Cloverfield in the theater. I play a lot of first-person shooter games and have never felt that before, so it may have just been that I was a bit sick already that day.

should be good. Love John Goodman.

I like how the whole thing was kept hidden for so long. Nicely done on the studio's part.

Trachtenberg was associated with Y: The Last Man for a long time until it lapsed and since then I've seen that his next project was something under wraps by Bad Robot. Didn't imagine it would be something this potentially good.

The trailer reminds me of the opening to one of my favorite Lost episodes

Never saw the first movie. I had pretty much soured on the whole found footage gimmick when this came our so I avoided it. Might be interested in this one though.

[Real Elijah Snow]

Love Goodman and MEW. Loved the first movie. This will be awesome.

I really liked the original and am excited to see this one. Had anyone ever confirmed if it was in fact 'Godzilla'?

Looks like the entire first act is mere boring preamble-that worked for the first film but not now that we know what its all about. Would have been better to jump right into it than trying to clone the first film.

Are you taking about Star Wars force awakens again?

[Red84]

That's one of the better trailers that I've ever seen.

 

Loved Cloverfield. Excited for this one.

[CAHokie]

I didn't really care for Cloverfield either, but this looks very interesting.

[Red84]

The viral ad campaign for the first one was also lots of fun with all the fake news sites and back story to search for.

[kdoginohio]

Still waiting for Goodman to show up on Big Bang as Leonard's dad. Maybe looking a lot like Dr. Faustus.

[NewEnglandGothic]

Never watched the original, but I love Lizzy Caplan from "Masters of Sex", so I'll probably jump on the bandwagon (asap).
