Third ‘Cloverfield’ Movie Stomps into a New Date

Published

7 years ago

Back in November, it was revealed that the J.J. Abrams-produced sci-fi/thriller God Particle was going to be the next film in the Cloverfield universe, which began in 2008 with the titular film and was followed earlier this year by 10 Cloverfield Lane. Originally slated for release on February 24, 2017, the top secret film, directed by Julius Onah, has been pulled from the schedule.

Exhibitor Relations then shared a most interesting tweet, revealing that Paramount Pictures plans to release a new Cloverfield movie in theaters (and IMAX) on October 27, 2017.

Most interesting is that Cloverfield will be opening against Lionsgate’s tentatively titled Saw Legacy, the eight film in the franchise. Who will lose this game of chicken?

And with that we now have a mystery on our hands. Is this third Cloverfield movie opening in October actually God Particle, about a team of astronauts who make a “shocking discovery” and end up fighting for survival in what is described as an altered reality, or is it a proper sequel that was secretly shot right under our noses?! It’s probably the former, but you never know with Bad Robot and Mr. Abrams. God Particle, or whatever the title is, stars Ziyi Zhang, Elizabeth Debicki, Daniel Brühl and Chris O’Dowd.

In 10 Cloverfield Lane, released this past March, “After surviving a car accident, Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) wakes up to find herself in an underground bunker with two men. Howard (John Goodman) tells her that a massive chemical attack has rendered the air unbreathable, and their only hope of survival is to remain inside.”

One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.

With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.

Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…

“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”

If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
