From acclaimed producer J.J. Abrams and up-and-coming director Dan Trachtenberg, 10 Cloverfield Lane (read my review) debuts on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand June 14th from Paramount Home Media Distribution.  The film arrives two weeks early on Digital HD May 31st.

The Combo Pack includes Digital HD, commentary with director Dan Trachtenberg and producer J.J. Abrams, and over 30 minutes of special features. Take an extensive look behind-the-scenes with Abrams and the cast as they revisit the legacy of 2008’s Cloverfield, and discuss how 10 Cloverfield Lane went from script to production. Continue with a tour of the ominous bunker, see how the costume designer was challenged to create a homemade Hazmat suit, follow the production team and sound designers as they work on the movie’s epic finale, and hear the unique scores composed for each character.  Plus, for a limited time only, get a bonus Digital HD copy of the original Cloverfield with the Blu-ray Combo Pack.

I think these extras are fine, normally, but 10 Cloverfield Lane has a secret history that us hardcore fans deserve a deeper look at. I want to know what the film looked like before the aliens were added. I want to know when they came to make it a Cloverfield spinoff. I want to know whose idea it was and how it was executed. I want to know everything. Anything less is disappointing.

“After a catastrophic car crash, a young woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) wakes up in a survivalist’s (John Goodman, Argo) underground bunker. He claims to have saved her from an apocalyptic attack that has left the outside world uninhabitable. His theories are supported by a mysterious stranger who is in the bunker with them (John Gallagher, Jr., “The Newsroom”), but as his increasingly suspicious actions lead her to question his motives, she’ll have to escape in order to discover the truth.”
