Jan 17, 2016 It was unfinished for a long time because this movie was originally part of Paramount's Insurge Division, which was a sector of Paramount devoted to low budget films made for 5 million or less. The Insurge divison collapsed and folded up and this film(when it was originally called Valencia) was caught in limbo with no studio home. Eventually it was grabbed up by Paramount again and new scenes were written in by Dan Casey to connect the film to the Cloverfield universe so it would actually make some money in theaters. Those new scenes/reshoots were shot in in March 2015 and they've spent the last year editing and adding effects. I'm starting to get a real funny feeling about this film the more and more I dig around. The original script, the fact that none of the original Cloverfield crew are involved(aside from JJ), and the fact that Paramount is releasing a film with a 5 million dollar budget in IMAX, is beginning to seem like a big cash grab for Paramount to make a few quick bucks off of an orphaned movie that they bought up. Here's some more info about the film in its original state.
Jan 18, 2016 Glad they're dropping the found footage aspect. I'm indifferent to the first movie. Not sure how I feel about the trailer for the second movie yet. Seems interesting yet boring at the same time, if that makes any sense to you.
Feb 8, 2016 Idk. Im on board as far as trailers an general plot wise but this has so much potential to be a big bag of boiled dog s---..
Feb 10, 2016 I loved Cloverfield. Always wanted a sequel from it and with the end credits having "It's alive" at the end had me hyped even more.
Mar 10, 2016 This was a mostly sharp and entertaining genre exercise that stumbles mightily in the final stretch. Goodman and Winstead are aces.
Mar 10, 2016 Real Cloverfield fans like me have been waiting nearly a decade for a real sequel. A sequel this is not
Mar 11, 2016 okay d---... that looks exciting, and it's nice to know the monster will actually be in it somehow. but i can't help but hold back my excitement for this, knowing this was a completed movie of a different name and then changed into a cloverfield sequel after
Mar 13, 2016 It helps but the 'Cloverfield' movie isn't really relevant to this. Seen it today. Rate it 7/10
Mar 13, 2016 Seeing it tonight in imax, hope it's worth it. Gonna before going too which should help.
