Produced and developed? He dabbled in plenty of stuff thats trash.

He's no better then tyler perry.

Well that is not hyperbolic,

 

[Gamepad]

10 Cloverfield lane was good enough.

Not enough Aliens.

 

[strafer]

so we will never get a Cloverfield 2?

 

[nekkid]

Spoiler

The company that owns Slusho is featured in both movies. In Cloverfield, they're responsible for waking up Clovie. In 10CL, Goodman's character worked for them in their satellite monitoring division and clearly they knew about aliens.

The current fan theory is that all the movies in the Cloverfield anthology series will be connected via the Slusho company. Each movie is a different timeline but Slusho is always responsible for some kind of sci-fi fuck up.

Fun fact, there is a Tagruato skyscraper in San Francisco depicted in the first alt timeline Star Trek.

 

[adj_noun]

Either they are connected stories in a cinematic universe or they are a thematically or spiritually connected collection of stories in an anthology.

Ding ding ding.

 

[Massive Nights]

Honestly kind of annoyed this leaked out, I'd rather have found out with the trailer like 10 Cloverfield Lane.

 

[Blade30]

I hated the first one, loved the second one, I guess I'm looking forward to this one?

 

[NastyBook]

John Goodman can squeeze his ass into some power armor

Come on, dude. Goodman's brought his weight down considerably.

Produced and developed? He dabbled in plenty of stuff thats trash.

He's no better then tyler perry.

Stay mad about it while TP keeps laughing to the bank.

Its gonna be like DOOM 2016, Slusho opens a facility on Mars and secretly opens portals to hell in order to frack their hell energy to create unlimited quantities of Slusho CODE RED(tm). Thus solving world hunger. But things go awry and now only alternate-alternate universe John Goodman can squeeze his ass into some power armor and kill all the carbonated horrors that await him.

Oh shiiiii-

 

[Tansut]

My heart sings at this news. Especially after the Star Trek Discovery stuff.

 

[Defect]

Apparently John Goodman worked at the soda company responsible for the Cloverfield monster debacle. That's about it I think.

He worked at Bold Futura which is a subsidiary of Tagruato. Slusho was involved in the first movie.

 

[MontyMarx]

I hope God Particle focuses on Bradley Cooper's character from 10 Cloverfield Lane

 

[Schlorgan]

Dang. After 10 Cloverfield Lane, I was wanting the next one to just be Aliens but with Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Spoiler

Only kind of joking.

Get Sam Raimi in there and it'll be the DOOM movie I've always wanted.

For what it's worth, people have been guessing this since 10 Cloverfield Lane was announced. The God Particle info has been out there for a while, and people made the obvious connection.

Yep.

The fun in these anthology movies will be figuring out how we get to the sci-fi mayhem. From what I remember of the God Particle synopsis, a bunch of scientists are in space when Earth literally disappears.

That sounds fucking terrifying. I can't wait. I hope they do it right.

Holy shit. Can you even imagine??? I would just shit. Maybe never stop. And lots of panicked crying.

If thats not the plot of God Particle I hope it's the plot of something because that is an amazing concept.

Edit:

The plot of the film is said to revolve around an American space station that, after an accident with a particle accelerator, suddenly finds that Earth has vanished altogether. Things get stranger when they then they pick up traces of another space station nearby.

Sorry for the bump but I just saw that I missed a screening for this last week. Surprised it's so early since the movie got pushed back to 2018. Anybody read any impressions?

 

[Kebiinu]

This bump got me so hyped, thinking we got more info. Lol. Guess ima check Reddit to see if anybody caught that screening you mentioned.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll be on the lookout for any screenings near me. We always get the big blockbusters 6-8 months early.

 

[sn00zer]

The worst parts of Cloverfield Lane were the areas where you could see things hastily reshuffled to fit the Cloverfield rebranding.

This plan of his shouldn't inspire hope in anyone.

Eh not really

Spoiler

the whole ending i thought was a semi fever dream since she clearly doesnt start seeing shit until she pulls off the mask

 

[SpaceWolf]

Curious if people are going to be quite as excited for this as they were for Cloverfield Lane, given that the jig is basically up that these films aren't really going to have anything to do with the original film.

Im in the minority but i ended up being way more excited about lane after hearing it thenatically different

 

[Robdraggoo]

I love the anthology approach. Same universe but completly separate stories

 

[SFenton]

Same. Go Bad Robot for doing a universe right in their own way instead of copying Marvel like everyone else.

Helps that the two entries have been great so far.

 

[Fenderputty]

I had no idea this was being made, but the inclusion of the "god particle" sounds cheesy as fuck.

Why? The God particle is the Higgs Boson. It is a particle that can briefly be measured during high energy events at the Large Hadron Collider. It's the particle that gives matter mass.

CERN fired up the Large Hadron Collider in March 2010, before which, there was a series of popular children's books called the Berenstein Bears.

 

[Cipherr]

The only way these movies are connected is that you'll keep giving them money for having the word "Cloverfield" in the title, so they'll keep slapping the Cloverfield name on these movies that have nothing to do with each other.

And it'll work too.

1. Find script with some sort of vague mystery.
2. Say it's "part of the Cloverfield universe"
3. Profit

As long as Im enjoying the films themselves I don't really care tbh.

Did you find anyone? I’m surprised, thought it would be bigger on the net unless everyone’s under strict NDA. Wish I saw my email, I would have gone last week

This. Jaybrams knows how to profit off people stupid enough to still say "I hope there's a payoff!"

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

I'm still salty that 10 Cloverfield Lane was not a direct sequel but the movie was still great, I've accepted it as an anthology and can not wait for particle. I think it'd be neat if they did eventually make a film that makes sense of the connections.

They did? I thought that the alien ship was other members of the Clover monster's race.

 

[Famassu]

This. Jaybrams knows how to profit off people stupid enough to still say "I hope there's a payoff!"

Cloverfield Lane was easily one of the best (Hollywood) movies of the year. Nothing stupid about people going to see it. As long as they don't dip too much in quality & keep doing half decent movies, nothing stupid about it in the future either.

 

[Cipher Peon]

Can't wait!!

I was lukewarm on Cloverfield but LOVED Lane. Looking forwar to it!

Imagine if Black Mirror decided to somehow tie them al together. Fuck that, leave the connections to Slusho/Tagruato Easter eggs.

Disagree 1000%, I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE if Black Mirror tied every episode together in a final act twist similar to (spoilers for a Canadian horror show)

Spoiler

Darknet

. It would bring Black Mirror from one of my all time favorites to legendary status for me.

Give me as many connected universes as possible please ;;

 

[Markitron]

This. Jaybrams knows how to profit off people stupid enough to still say "I hope there's a payoff!"

Or maybe he's profiting off people that enjoyed the first two movies with Cloverfield in the title and are interested in seeing a third.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

why

 

[SpaceWolf]

Black Mirror does tie all its stories together. Most of the episodes constantly make reference to each other, especially in "White Christmas", that makes in-universe references to every episode that had aired at that point. There are a lot of clues planted that seem to hint pretty strongly that all these stories take place in the same universe.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

I loved 10 Cloverfield Lane so I'm hopeful for this.

 

[SilentRob]

Cloverfield Lane was legit the scariest, most tense horror film I have seen in a long time...and it's not even really a horror film. John Goodman was fucking terrifying. The synopsis for this one sounds interesting, looking forward to it!
