TheCloverfieldfranchise is a strange beast. The original film was shrouded in secrecy, and after it was released in 2008, producer J.J. Abrams teased a possible sequel. The sequel never materialized, and many thought it was dead for good. Then, a surprise trailer for a film called10 Cloverfield Lanearrived in January 2016. The film wasn’tquitean officialCloverfieldsequel, but bore theCloverfieldbrand name – makingCloverfielda kind of anthology film series. Much like10 Cloverfield Lane,The Cloverfield Paradoxwas not originally conceived as aCloverfieldfilm. In fact,Oren Uziel, the film’s screenwriter, confirmed toColliderthat the script was actually written before10 Cloverfield Lane, saying:
“It was written before10 Cloverfield Laneand the expanded Cloverfield universe even existed as a thing. It was a spec that I wrote probably a year or so afterShimmer Lake, so it definitely existed as its own science-fiction. And then after years of, you know how scripts kind of hang around—people like them but for whatever reason they decided to make it and then suddenly everything fell into place with J.J. [Abrams], Bad Robot, and Paramount. I don’t know exactly when it became aCloverfieldmovie, but I suspect in this current market where it’s just harder and harder to market an original movie of any kind, a science-fiction movie in particular, but I think everyone just knew if it fits—and it does—into that Cloverfield world, it should, and it can only help.”
AfterThe Cloverfield Paradox,Abrams and company already have the next potentialCloverfieldfilm already lined up:Overlord(which will probably end up being retitledCloverlordif we’re lucky), a film set “on the eve of D-Day, where American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion’s success. But as they approach their target, they begin to realize there is more going on in this Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. They find themselves fighting against supernatural forces, part of a Nazi experiment.”
