The fourth film of the Cloverfield franchise, Overlord, is now set to land this October, though it’s expected to be renamed by then. During a discussion with Digital Spy, J.J. Abrams teased that the film is going to get a little crazy. To talk about what the next one is and what’s going to happen sort of feels counter-intuitive,” Abrams told the site. “Overlord … first of all it’s something that I can’t wait for you to see cause the director, Julius Avery, has done an amazing job on it. But the specifics, you know, we should wait and see.But that’s really a crazy movie,” Abrams stated. Set during World War II, Overlord, directed by Julius Avery, takes place “On the eve of D-Day, a group of 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

‘Black Water’ Sequel Heads For ‘The Abyss’

Director Andrew Traucki and producer Michael Robertson, the team behind 2007’s Black Water, are back together again for the upcoming sequel, Black Water: Abyss. Black Water: Abyss centers on an adventure-loving couple who convince their friends to explore a remote cave system in the forests of Northern Australia. With a storm approaching, they abseil into the mouth of the cave, which starts to flood and the group finds themselves threatened by a pack of crocodiles, setting up a tense survival drama, Variety reports. Mike Runagall of Altitude said the sequel will have a similar feel as the original, which was shot with live crocodiles. “Black Water: Abyss employs the same ingenious approach on a much larger canvas to deliver a highly commercial high-concept thriller from a team with a proven track record in this arena,” Producer Robertson has stated: “Like all films in this genre, Black Water: Abyss is designed to terrify and scare, cause dread and alarm, to invoke

She’s Back! Lindsay Lohan Returns With Werewolves

It’s been a while, but Hollywood’s favorite mean girl will soon return to the big screen in a new crime horror film, The Shadow Within. This will be Lohan’s first film since starring in the 2013 film The Canyons. The Shadow Within will be about a private detective (presumably played by Lohan) who’s trying to solve the murder of her uncle while keeping it a secret that she’s a descendant of werewolves. More information about the film is sparse and the film’s IMDB page seems to add to the confusion. What does not help is that there’s a movie with the same name that came out in 2007, mysteriously enough Lohan herself posted on Instagram a teaser poster for the film back in December but since has been removed. The fate of the picture is unknown whether or not it will howl its way to the big screen or whimper with its tail between its legs straight to DVD, all

Future “Cloverfield” Films Will Make It To The Theatre

The Super Bowl’s biggest surprise wasn’t The Patriot’s defeat, (fly Eagles fly!) but the release of “The Cloverfield Paradox” on Netflix, right after the game. The Cloverfield Franchise has a history of unique marketing, but announcing the impending release of an entry in one of cinema’s most intriguing franchises just hours in advance is pretty ballsy. The next film in the series however, the WW2 set Overlord will be making it’s way to theaters, according to thewrap.com. Netflix reportedly paid $5o Million dollars to Paramount for the exclusive right’s to Paradox, a hefty price tag the company might not be keen to repeat. Paradox has so far been panned by critics, with a score of 21 on Rotten Tomatoes to most recent entry 10 Cloverfield Lane’s 90. Netflix doesn’t typically release viewership numbers, but The Super Bowl itself was viewed by 103 million people. That’s a whole lot of eyes on an ad, even if a few people got up
