’10 Cloverfield Lane’: J.J. Abrams’ Stress Apocalypse

Hot damn can J.J. Abrams keep a secret! The 10 Cloverfield Lane trailer drops ahead of schedule and with a new title in tow.

I always knew that J.J. Abrams had a reputation for being tight lipped, but his latest producer effort “10 Cloverfield Lane” has achieved a whole new level of secrecy. It also happens to be a sibling to Abrams’ 2008 producer gig “Cloverfield.”

Watch the gripping surprise teaser trailer for “10 Colverfield Lane” below.

The clandestine new project by Paramount released it’s trailer ahead of Michael Bay’s “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” So how’d Abrams and company mange to conceal this buzz-worthy flick for so long? Well, the project was actually formerly known as Valencia and has now officially been changed to “10 Cloverfield Lane,” almsot undoubtably linking the film to the 2008 sneak hit produced by Abrams and directed by Matt Reeves (“Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes”). Directed by Dan Tractenberg, the sequel looks to center on a woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) seemingly being held captive in an underground fallout bunker by what appears to be a rabidly paranoid man (John Goodman) after what the bio calls a chemical attack.

In an exclusive statement to Collider J.J. Abrams made an intriguing statement in regard to this films relation to “Cloverfield.”

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. 

Abrams’ cryptic response aside, I have to admit that as of this trailer I am really excited about this film. Not only am I intrigued by the potential tie in to “Cloverfield” but the highly suspenseful tone of the trailer makes me hope for a potentially nail biting post-apocalyptic thriller. John Goodman seems to step outside of his wheelhouse a bit evoking a paranoid, nervous and presumably hostile character. As Winstead’s character races up to the final door, we are all left wondering what lies beyond that door? The ominous tagline on the official poster reads “Monsters Come In Many Forms.” While the trailer initially leads one to believe Goodman may be the monster, his desperate pleas not to open the door leaves us wondering if there is something far worse lurking outside.

“10 Cloverfield Lane” hits theaters March 11, 2016.

Pooya: Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.
