Abrams also made it clear that the film, Bad Robot’s first R-Rated film, is NOT part of the Cloverfield franchise. But don’t worry, he did confirm that a sequel to the Cloverfield franchise is in the works. The folks over at Joblo got the scoop, saying: The footage we saw featured Wyatt Russell, Bokeem Woodbine and a cast of relative unknowns in traditional WW2 paratrooper gear jumping in as planes blow up around them, before finally getting to the ground, linking up and heading out. We see them discover the heavily-guarded facility and infiltrate it, which is when everything gets a little crazy.” They continue: “We see a bunch of bloody, zombie-like creatures, obviously, people that have been experimented on, vials of a red substance (which is injected into one of the soldiers and seems to give him
