\"Cloverfield<\/a><\/p>\n

JJ Abrams wants you to know that the upcoming film Overlord<\/strong> from his Bad Robot production shingle is not an installment in the science-fiction anthology series Cloverfield<\/strong>, which he produces. But that doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t more Cloverfield<\/strong> in our future.<\/p>\n

Speaking at CinemaCon, the annual trade show for motion picture exhibitors in Las Vegas, Abrams dispelled rumors that his upcoming film Overlord<\/strong> was a stealth Cloverfield<\/strong> film, stressing that the science-fiction-horror hybrid set during World War Two stands separate from the other series.<\/p>\n

The speculation that Overlord<\/strong> could be a Cloverfield <\/strong>film was understandable. The second Cloverfield<\/strong> movie, 10 Cloverfield Lane<\/strong>, was developed, shot and initially announced under the title Valencia<\/strong>. The film\u2019s real title was only revealed a few weeks before its release and created quite the buzz among fans. The third Cloverfield<\/strong> installment, The Cloverfield Paradox<\/strong>, was developed under the title The God Particle<\/strong>. This film originally did not start out as a Cloverfield <\/strong>movie but was retrofitted into the franchise through a series of reshoots. When execs at Paramount were still not happy with the film they sold it off to Netflix. The streaming service premiered the film the night of the Super Bowl with an announcement that caught everyone by surprise. But excitement that was generated by the surprise release was quickly muted as disappointed reviews started to roll in almost immediately.<\/p>\n

Abrams did state that there is what he called \u201ca true, dedicated Cloverfield<\/strong> sequel\u201d in development and promised that the film was being readied for theatrical distribution. Abrams use of the word \u201cdedicated\u201d certainly seems like a dig at how the attempt to shoehorn Cloverfield Paradox<\/strong> into the franchise turned out and its sale to Netflix.<\/p>\n

Overlord<\/strong> is scheduled for an October 26 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
