J.J. Abrams surprised fans earlier this year with a sequel to 2008’s found-footage alien film ‘Cloverfield’, titled ’10 Cloverfield Lane’. The film was huge success, renewing interest in the franchise for fans. It is not surprising that Abrams already has plans for another sequel. What is surprising is that it has already quietly entered production.
Abrams revealed to The Wrap that the the new sequel, titled ‘God Particle’, has entered production and has a release date, February 24th, 2017.
The site revealed that ‘God Particle’ is “…about a team of astronauts who make a “shocking discovery” and end up fighting for survival in what is described as an altered reality.”
‘God Particle’ will star David Oyelowo, Ziyi Zhang, Gugu Mbtha-Raw, Daniel Brühl, Elizabeth Debicki. J.J. Abrams will produce. Julis Onah will be directing from the script penned by Oren Uziel.
‘God Particle’ will not be the last of the franchise. In fact, other films are already being considered by Paramount Pictures that will connect events, as well as characters, throughout the ‘Cloverfield’ world.
