Something Pretty Crazy Happens When You Sync ‘Cloverfield’ and ‘Cloverfield Paradox’
Knowing J.J. Abrams, we’re thinking this was probably intentional.
A good part of the fun of the Cloverfield movies is the fan theorizing that the ARG is very much designed to bring out, and you’d be hard pressed to find fans of any franchise that are more invested in their fav franchise than fans of all things Cloverfield. They’re borderline obsessive about the whole thing, and I know this because I am one of them.
It’s this wonderful obsession that resulted in Reddit user DubC-Ent discovering something mighty compelling about Cloverfield and The Cloverfield Paradox.
As we recently laid out with the help of a handy chart, the gist of the universe is that the events of the future-set Cloverfield Particle ripped holes in space-time, spilling out otherworldly monsters in different worlds and at different points in time. In other words, the Shepard directly caused the events of both Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane.
So what did DubC-Ent discover, you ask? Well, as it turns out, the Shepard opens up the dimension-hopping rift at 18 minutes, 20 seconds into The Cloverfield Paradox, which is exactly the same point in time that the monster begins his destruction in Cloverfield!
Explained by Reddit’s CamCam3947:
- 18:20 in Paradox is when they run the Shepard and it causes the incident transporting them through dimensions
- 18:20 in Cloverfield is when the first noises are heard and the lights go out at Rob’s party.
Yes, if you sync up Cloverfield and The Cloverfield Paradox, the movies interact with one another, highlighting that one film’s events directly cause the other’s!
Mind you, this *could* all be unintentional, but it’s a crazy little treat regardless…
There is a HUGE parallel between Cloverfield (2008) and Cloverfield paradox (2018) that occurs when watching both movies at the same time from r/Cloververse
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
