Hated the first Cloverfield. Totally nonsensical plot, wooden acting and obnoxious cinematography.

The only thing it had going for it was the suspense of the unknown and the mystery surrounding the monster.

And even that was a disappointment in the end.

I think you may be confusing it with that sex tape you made.

I think you may be confusing it with that sex tape you and Koon made.

FIFY

But the soundtrack was incredible...

I still don't get the first one. I mean, yeah, a monster shows up chasing everyone around. But I like a few things explained as to how's and why's.

No one has said this is linked to Cloverfield at all. Bad robot offices are located on a street called Cloverfield so that may be where the name is from as well.

My personal favorite: monster attacks, protagonists find lead female impaled on a piece of rebar in her partially collapsed apartment building sometime later, yet they proceed to pull her off the rusty piece of iron and run around NYC for the next 1.5 hours like it's no big deal.

Direct quote from Abrams:

“The idea came up a long time ago during production. We wanted to make it a blood relative of Cloverfield. The idea was developed over time. We wanted to hold back the title for as long as possible.”

I just assumed that the family is living in an underground shelter, so as to stay alive while a bunch of Cloverfields dominate the surface of the earth.

So Cloverfield was the critter's name?

Nope. From wikipedia:

The film was initially titled Cloverfield; however, this changed throughout production before it was finalized as the original title. Matt Reeves explained that the title was changed frequently due to the hype caused by the teaser trailer. "That excitement spread to such a degree that we suddenly couldn't use the name anymore. So we started using all these names like Slusho and Cheese. And people always found out what we were doing!" The director said that "Cloverfield" was the government's case designation for the events caused by the monster, comparing the titling to that of the Manhattan Project. "And it's not a project per se. It's the way that this case has been designated. That's why that is on the trailer, and it becomes clearer in the film. It's how they refer to this phenomenon [or] this case", said the director. The film's final title, Cloverfield, is the name of the exit Abrams takes to his Santa Monica office. In turn, the road used to lead to the Santa Monica Airport, which originally bore the name Clover Field.

I don't know the budget for the movie is 5 million, the original Cloverfield had a budget of 25 million. I don't think they can make a monster movie on 5 mil. And based of the poster tag line " Monster come in many forms" I think John Goodman is the monster they are hinting at.

 

[woolybug25]

Never saw Cloverfield... but I would watch two hours of someone picking their teeth with a toothpick as long as that person was John Goodman.

 

[IrishLion]

Yeah, I forgot that Cloverfield wasn't actually the monster.

It sounds like this is just another tale from the "Cloverfield" files. Perhaps it's an area or a related set of experiments, and the "Cloverfield" designation offers a prefabricated tie-in for any future films.

When we entered the eye of the storm, and there was a moment to breathe, there were some deep-thinking individuals who felt this was more of a spinoff than an actual sequel to Cloverfield. Some even suggested it may be an extension of the anthology concept that’s sweeping Hollywood.

While speculation continues to run rampant, one thing is for certain – 10 Cloverfield Lane is definitely not a sequel to Cloverfield.

Then what is it? This reddit post alleges that we’re sort of, kind of, being tricked.

First and foremost, 10 Cloverfield Lane was announced under the title The Cellar and filmed under the moniker Valencia.

The reddit user alleges that it was produced under Paramount’s Insurge, and “when Paramount closed it down, this movie (shot and completed) was thrown out to the wind and orphaned.

“Paramount bought it back up and had Dan Casey and Damien Chazelle do some re-writes so that it would connect to the Cloverfield universe and they went back and did reshoots and add-ons in March 2015 in New Orleans and L.A.” adds the anonymous user who says they have the 2013 screenplay for The Cellar, which carries no mention of any monster
