‘Overlord’: J.J. Abrams Presents Supernatural, Spooky Nazis In Final Trailer
For all his success as a director (and there has been a lot of it), J.J. Abrams might be stronger in his skills as a producer, bringing television shows like “Lost” and “Castle Rock” and movies like the “Cloverfield” franchise and the latter half of the “Mission: Impossible” series to life under his Bad Robot […]
Continue reading‘Overlord’ Review: Bad Robot Delivers a Thrilling Nazi Monster Mash | Fantastic Fest
Overlord is not a Cloverfield movie. Let’s just get that out of the way. The latest Bad Robot film steers clear of their big name monster franchise in favor of another kind of monster: Nazis. And not just any old Nazis (though there are plenty of those) — mad scientist Nazis, who use captured soldiers […]

We’re still a few months out from the bonkers-looking WWII-set horror flick Overlord — which is definitely not a Cloverfield movie, or so we’re told — but Paramount and Bad Robot released a whole bunch of new photos and a synopsis that shed a little more light on this dark thriller.These batch of images gel […]

Early this week, I traveled to Lake Tahoe to cover an early press event for Bad Times at the El Royale, a 1960s-set crime drama written and directed by The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard. I spoke with Goddard on camera about his new movie (we’ll be publishing that video closer to the […]

Beaming in by video at CinemaCon, J.J. Abrams introduced a work-in-progress clip for Overlord and casually mentioned, “It’s not a Cloverfield movie,” but one “is in the works for theaters.” He provided no further details, keeping the focus on Bad Robot’s first R-rated movie Overlord, a sci-fi film set during World War II. He introduced […]

Contrary to rumors, J.J. Abrams said “Overlord” will not be the fourth film in the “Cloverfield” series.

J.J. Abrams has cracked open his patented mystery box. But just a little bit. The director made an appearance at CinemaCon is Las Vegas to present footage from Bad Robot’s Overlord, which is being touted as the company’s first R-rated film. He also threw water on a popular story spreading all over the internet, insisting […]

The success of A Quiet Place has everyone buzzing. The John Krasinski-helmed feature had the second-best opening ever for an original horror movie, and that’s interesting because apparently there was once talk of it being part of the Cloverfield franchise. Alas, the plot was too similar to 10 Cloverfield Lane at the time when Paramount […]
Continue reading‘A Quiet Place’ Was Almost a ‘Cloverfield’ Movie
One day in the future, all movies will be “Cloverfield” movies. The ever-expanding universe, which most recently added “The Cloverfield Paradox” to its orbit, almost pulled another project into its gravitational field: John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place,” which was also made by Paramount. It ultimately avoided that fate, screenwriters Scott Beck and Bryan Woods reveal […]
