a movie titled God Particle will be the 3rd film that will be connected to the Cloverfield movies.

don't trust Tagurato

Why does everything need a sh!tty shared universe now? Why can't they just be the same sorts of films made by the same sorts of people, with connections being nothing more than easter eggs? These people don't understand the concept of a "shared universe" at all and are just doing it because it worked for Marvel.

technically, if they are all under the "Cloverfield" series, then to fair it isn't so much as "shared universe" as it is just sequels.

Kind of how Halloween was suppose to be a series of seperate halloween films instead of just Micheal Myers

Not really sequels... sidequels, more like.

I guess this "cloverfiled" series will have more connectivity at least, if Taguruto is connecting everything.

I was kind of hoping that the Cloverfield monster (and maybe there'd be others dropped throughout the world) was just a vanguard for an alien invasion force, which we see at the end of 10 Cloverfield Lane. Then a third movie could be from a military perspective or something set shortly after both films, taking on the alien ships and the big Cloverfield monsters. Nice, simple, and satisfying as a trilogy.

But if the quick synopsis of God Particle is any clue, it seems like they may be explaining Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane together by making them set in alternate dimensions... which really isn't a way of explaining them together at all, it's doing the opposite. Or maybe in God Particle they accidentally open the particular dimension or dimensions the creature from Cloverfield and the aliens from 10 Cloverfield Lane come from and rain them down on the planet, thus setting up both movies.

The ONLY real connection (Easter eggs aside) between these movies is the word "CLOVERFIELD."

That's it. We've figured out the game; it's nothing special.

It's a weird thing. 10 Cloverfield Lane wasn't intended to be a Cloverfield movie until late into things... similarly, Cloverfield wasn't even going to be called Cloverfield at all until they couldn't come up with anything better than the working title.

It's a very weird little thing.

I mean, 10 Cloverfield Lane (as you say) got tied into "cloverfield" at the 11th hour. Would've preferred to see it as its own thing.

Will Cloverfield be the anthology series that Halloween was supposed to be?

edit: I see this had been mentioned already.

I can totally see it be some kind of anthology series, The only connections that they have, is they are dealing with monsters or aliens.

Cloverfield 3 delayed (again) until April now:

Also with Slusho

It's hard to believe the first Cloverfield movie came out in 2008, literally 10 years ago. It certainly doesn't feel like a decade old movie.

I still swear it said, "It's a lion, it's HUGE!" in the original trailer.

I remember people thinking filming something through their cell phones was weird. Oddly enough the iphone only came out a year before in 2007, so I guess it seemed like a fairly new concept at the time.

It's just so weird to think of movies now from 2008 or 2007 are now "a decade old." I mean they barely seem any different than today's movies. Meanwhile movies from the 90's feel VERY different than ones from the 2000's...just the way they're filmed.

Feels like most movies from the 2000's are interchangeable.

I'm really curious about this. Didn't care about the Godzilla Cloverfield, but loved the Survivalist Bunker Horror Cloverfield.

A lot of people don't want this (possibly including JJ himself) but I kind of hope the third one ties them all together intelligently. There's ways it could work.

If they're hell bent on rewriting these movies (The Cellar, God Particle) to be part of this Cloverfield universe then they need to tie them together. I don't understand the point of retrofitting these movies if that's not the plan.

Makes perfect sense to me. Cinematic universes and sequel/reboots are much easier to pitch in Hollywood these days, as opposed to original standalone stories.

Your original screenplay isn't catching attention? Rebrand it to marginally align with an established property and BOOM. The odds increase in your favor. It's a smart business strategy, while the bubble lasts.

Totally understand that. That's what the writer or director of God Particle said a while back when it was announced this would be a Cloverfield movie. I just think that if you're changing these movies in a way to tie into that universe then it needs to be logical and substantial. Otherwise these are just anthologies in the same vein as Black Mirror on Netflix.

And apparently this latest delay is because of some new JJ-led reshoots.

That would require creativity, and I don't really think there's much creativity into shoehorning in Cloverfield easter eggs just to get an original movie to production. :tlol: But I get ya.

Adding in connective cinematic universe tissue, no doubt.

Interesting. That kinda answers the question I had about why JJ wasn't attached to direct anything after TFA had been out for nearly 2 years (before he committed to IX).

Will it be as bad as the last 2?

New rumor that the title has been changed to Cloverfield Station.

The last movie was fantastic and it barely has anything to do with aliens till the last 10 minutes. John Goodman was frightening in the movie.

I need to re-watch Cloverfield, I remember being so hyped for it and while not as awesome as I thought it would be it was still awesome.

Haven't seen Cloverfield Lane but the trailers looked amazing, need to watch it.

Curious for this new movie and even if super small references I'd love to see this Cloverfield universe keep building.

So basically that's gonna be the name of the Space Station.

10 Cloverfield Lane was the address in the last movie.

It's all connected! :trolleye:

Looks like this may get pulled from a theatrical release now:

http://deadline.com/2018/01/netflix-...ms-1202267849/

Netflix is going to release a trailer for this during the Super Bowl (probably). I guess the deal with Paramount went through and Netflix got the rights to the movie.

Aw c'mon, this is dumb. I wanted to see it on the big screen.

Same here. I don't like the precedent Paramount is setting by selling off their movies (this and Annihilation) to Netflix because they're suddenly worried about their box office performance at the last minute.

I don't understand that either because those Cloverfield movies make a ton of money at the box office. Maybe they know something about God Particle that is making them concerned. so they are giving it to Netflix.

Plus it's kind of voluntarily down-shifting the franchise. Now in the public's mind "Cloverfield" will have become a direct-to-video thing.

Though it's true... it has been pushed way back a few times now and there's been a lot of reshoot. Could be that yeah, it didn't test well at all. Or maybe they're quietly removing the Cloverfield ties in the Netflix shuffle to avoid damaging the brand.

What cloverfield brand? It's as niche as it gets, there's a reason there wasn't a "sequel" for many years.

This would be pretty crazy.

Yep it's available tonight. Titled The Cloverfield Paradox and it actually looks like this will have a legit connection to the original.
