[Movies] Cloverfield Direct Sequel Coming To Theatres Soon

in movies •  7 years ago  (edited)


Yesterday, Variety posted a small article discussing the upcoming Overlord film which we all believed to be the next Cloverfield movie, however it isn't. Overlord will be a standalone movie, and the first R rated movie from Bad Robot Pictures.

"But fans of the popular horror series need not fear. Abrams said that “we’re actually developing a true, dedicated Cloverfield sequel” and unlike the most recent film in the series, which was sold to Netflix, this one will screen in theaters."

There's quite a lot of information buried in that quote, so let's break it down. The most exciting news is that we're getting a direct sequel to the first Cloverfield movie, the one that really captured people's imaginations. The second bit of information there is that it's not going to be dumped straight onto Netflix, but instead will be another cinema outing like the first two films.

The Cloverfield Paradox was very divisive when it came out, with many fans swearing off the franchise completely as a result. I personally really enjoyed it, especially what it added to the Cloverfield universe. You can read a fan theory that I posted as a result of this film here.

I loved cloverfield as well as 10 cloverfield road which while it could have been a stand alone film had some continuity going for it! Cloverfield paradox left the connections purely up the imagination of the fans and while an enjoyable watch didn’t really add much to the franchise and explored concepts that didn’t really fit with the last two

I’d really like to see a more direct sequel that could reallt tie together all the movies and wrap up the series as a whole

Just wanna say thank you for your comment, nice to meet another Cloverfield fan!

10 Cloverfield Lane really was a really enjoyable film, like you say even just as a stand alone movie. I'll be honest and say I quite like the fact that paradox opens things up to the viewers imagination, I wrote my own theory on the Cloverfield Multiverse, I'm curious to hear what you make of it. Thinking about it, if they hadn't put that massive Clover monster at the end, I'd probably have been quite disappointed. It wasn't a great film, the fact it was dumped straight onto Netflix speak volumes, but I still enjoyed it. It could have been a lot worse!

The franchise definitely needs a direct sequel though, I think it's what the fans have been wanting all along. I was curious to see how Nazi zombies would fit into it all, but hey we've still got Overlord to look forward to!
