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
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
