10 Cloverfield Lane

[tk13]

So it looks like Abrams has done it again. A trailer dropped in front of "13 Hours" this evening appears to be a film set in the Cloverfield universe. A complete surprise. It will premiere in March.

’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Is the Title of J.J. Abrams’ Secret Bad Robot Movie
by Adam Chitwood

In 2014, news broke that filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg—who helmed the short film Portal: No Escape—would be directing a post-apocalyptic thriller called Valencia (also referred to as The Cellar) for Bad Robot and Paramount Insurge, produced by J.J. Abrams. While it’s true that the film is a post-apocalyptic thriller and was produced by Abrams, it appears that the Star Wars: The Force Awakens director has pulled another fast one on us—the movie’s actual title is 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Yes indeed, it appears as though that long-talked-about sequel to the secretive Abrams-produced 2008 film Cloverfield is not only happening, it’s already in the can. Abrams is taking the exact same marketing approach to this film as he did with Cloverfield, as a Collider reader who caught an east coast screening of Paramount’s 13 Hours hipped us to the news that the teaser trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane is attached to Michael Bay’s Benghazi film. Surprise!

The film stars John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and John Gallagher, Jr. and, per our reader has a “very creepy trailer that starts out fun but then gets really dark.” We previously spoke with Winstead when she was promoting her indie Faults, and she told us the film revolves around a woman who wakes up in a cellar where she’s being kept by a stranger, played by Goodman. The actress previously elaborated a bit on the plot by saying the following:

“He tells me that basically the world is over outside because there’s been a nuclear fall-out. It does have similarity to Faults, in some ways, because you don’t know who’s telling the truth or who to believe. There’s a lot of, who’s manipulating who, and all of that. Tonally, it’s very different, but it has some of those same themes.”

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is getting her own movie?

Cloverfield was one of the worst movies ever made. I laughed throughout the whole damn thing it was so bad. Battlefield Earth bad.

It's also apparently going to be in IMAX... so that would make you think there are going to be monsters. There's a bootleg trailer floating out there, but rumor has it the official trailer will be put online at midnight Pacific time.

I can't remember the original...I know it was some strange monster wrecking the city but don't remember how it ended.

[007]

I thought the original was awful.

[RobBlake]

awful is a harsh word... the monster was badly designed if i remember correctly.. some of the military fighting scenes were pretty cool i ntheater but that shaky cam was ANNOYING.

[Coochie liquor]

Looks pretty interesting.

Rob picks up the camera and carries it with him and Beth, and the two collapse under a bridge near the south eastern corner of the park. They sit there and listen as the bomb-warning siren goes off in the city, and Rob makes a last testimonial to the camera. As he quietly comforts Beth, a bomb drops on the park and the camera gets knocked out of Rob's hand, getting buried beneath some rubble. Rob and Beth each proclaim their love for each other just before another bomb goes off.

The camera pauses, and then cuts to a shot of the ocean from the Coney Island Ferris Wheel. In the far distance, you can briefly see a Japanese satellite fall from the sky and crash into the ocean - a part of the film's viral marketing campaign. Rob turns the camera back towards him and Beth, and then zooms in on Beth's face. She says "I had a good day." and then the tape freezes on her smiling face, and cuts to black.

At the very end of the credits, there is a short static transmission that, when played backwards, says "It's still alive."

For it was not so much a bad film as an uninspired hack job of a film that stole most of it's ideas from other and better films.
