10 Cloverfield Lane

13 Hours had a surprise trailer at its premiere, 10 Cloverfield Lane. Rumored to be a Cloverfield sequel, and releasing only two months from now. Starring John Goodman and written by Damien Chazelle of Whiplash.

It's fascinating for the fact they kept it a secret this long, long forgotten sequel rumors notwithstanding. Probably helps being No Budget and probably only two weeks of filming, so the cast and crew aren't "mysteriously unavailable" for too long.

I thought the original Cloverfield was an interesting movie, not really something I would watch repeatedly but the Found Footage approach to the Kaiju genre was atypical and kept me surprised.

In truth I think more movies need to be like that, lower budget "event movies" instead of a constant stream of monster blockbusters.

Here's the big question - will it be as bad at inciting motion sickness in its audience as the first one?

I ask half-seriously, because as much as I liked Cloverfield, I couldn't bring myself to watch it a second time because it literally made me nauseous. It probably a good thing I didn't eat a lot before watching it, or I just might have lost my lunch on the theater floor. >___<

The trailer doesn't appear to be Found Footage, so probably not.

It is weirdly cool, if strange, though, how this film has chosen to keep itself so secret until now, rather than let years of hype build up like all the past few years' blockbusters.

Probably for the best. It certainly is in line with the way the first movie worked, if nothing else, so it helps sell the idea that it's keeping to the spirit of the original.

Something tells me that John Goodman's gonna have to heave and sweat like a motherfucker to carry this big budget cash grab by himself.

He's not alone.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Gallager Jr are with him.

Cast aside, yeah, this seriously surprised me. I didn't even think anyone would be interested in a sequel (midquel?) to Cloverfield.

Ditto for me too. I knew that J.J. Abrams produced a little thriller film by the name of The Cellar, but I never suspected that it was a sequel in disguise! Brilliant.

Oh yeah, I read that The Cellar was a codename.

By the way, I've already got the tropes page ready. Help me fill it out before it disappears like The Ridiculous 6's page.

I'd do more on it myself, but I got breakfast to eat.

I bet it's those parasite things that were riding the monster, they've spread everywhere.

People who watched it say it's not a sequel.

Yeah, from what I saw I would assume that it's just another group dealing with it in another part of the city.

Found Footage always breaks the immersion since you inevitably have one character doomed to do absolutely nothing and will film at any cost, no matter how illogical it may be.

Glad this one is dumping that premise.

I just noticed in the 10 Lane trailer that someone is holding an iPhone 5S, which came out like a year ago or something. Now, the first Cloverfield obviously takes place in or before 2008 since most of the phones you see people carrying are NOT smartphones but rather old crappy Nokia/Palm's and shit like that (only the first iPhone was out when Cloverfield came out so virtually nobody had the thing at the time since it was $600)

So Ten has to take place a few years after the nuking of New York, which makes me question what happened in the intervening years between the first and 10. Either it's a chronological error due to this movie slapping the Cloverfield IP on at the last minute or JJ is about to unleash the mother of all Mystery Boxes.

John Goodman is still alive?

Doesn't the female trying to escape the bunker look an awful lot like Marlena, the chick who was bitten by the parasites and eventually exploded from the first movie?

Cause if that is the same character, then I really doubt this is a sequel, but rather a different setting entirely.

...that's Mary Elizabeth Winstead, not Lizzy Caplan.

Just saw a trailer for this in an ad on Youtube. Cool that there's gonna be a Cloverfield 2.

It's the same deal where Walking Dead has new cars for Product Placement even though the apocalypse happened like five years ago.

I watched the trailer and I'm not entirely clear on how this is supposed to tie into the original Cloverfield. That was a Found Footage kaiju film while this seems more psychological horror?

They are calling it a "blood" sibling, so it may not tie in literally at all to Cloverfield but still maintain that kind of mystery.

Or it's just possible that they couldn't think of a name for the movie, so they dubbed it "10 Cloverfield Lane" and it stuck just like the first Cloverfield (Cloverfield is the name of the exit JJ Abrams takes to the Bad Robot office).

I read that Abrams has said it's in the same continuity. That likely means cloverfield's events will have some influence on this film

Judging by the big earthquake and a few other things like that I would assume it's them trying to wait the kaiju out in their apartment.

Only just learned about this movie. Trailer doesn't show a lot, but I'm interested if only to find out how connected it is to Cloverfield.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be changed to "10 Cloverfield Lane"?
