10 Cloverfield Lane Trailer – Sequel, spin-off or something else to the monster movie?

For quite a long time, there’s been a movie on the release schedule purely called ‘Untitled JJ Abrams Project’. Now we know what it’s called, but as always with the producer/director, he’s still not telling us much. The film is called 10 Cloverfield Lane, and it’s got a creepy trailer.

But what exactly is it? First assumptions were that it was a Cloverfield sequel, but apparently it isn’t, leaving some to say it’s a spin-off (with events happening because of the monster from the first movie but not directly involving it). However, the major rumours are that this will build the Cloverfield name into an anthology of films that are thematically similar but not related by plot. That would particularly make sense in this case, as Cloverfield only got that name because it was it’s code name before they came up with a title, but they never changed it.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr.star. Take a look at the trailer below. It’ll be in UK cinemas on April 8th.
