Not Only is ‘Cloverfield 2’ Happening…It’s Filming Right Now!

Published

It’s no secret that ever since Cloverfield was a smash at the box office, sequel buzz has been non-stop, but what if they were able to do it right under our noses…again? Over the course of the last few days, we’ve received several spy reports that filming had begun, but decided it best not to jump the gun, but now some reliable details are starting to leak out and it’s officially time to get pumped for the return of all-out-monster action!

The aforementioned spies have been reporting from the beaches of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico – where the film is apparently taking advantage of the spring break crowds – for a large action scene rumored to be the opening sequence of the film. While no official announcements have been made, our spies have gathered from talking to P.A.’s and Craft Services with loose lips that Matt Reeves has returned (this is the reason for the Let the Right One In remake delay) as Director and J.J. Abrams is once again serving as producer. This time, however, screenwriting credit will be shared by Drew Goddard and Damon Lindelof (LOST). Also scheduled to return are Odette Yustman (Beth) and Michael Stahl-David as Rob, along with a large cast of newcomers.

“Cloverfield Raids Again,” as its being referred to around set (likely not the final title), is said to retain the handheld camera aesthetic but to be much larger in scale, taking place in several locales around the world and featuring not one, but several monsters. As for the infamous final shot of the first film, in which a much-debated satellite falls from the sky into the ocean – it’s said to be a major jumping off point for this film as it apparently awoke not one, but several creatures… all that may or may not have grown from spores deep in the sea.

We’ve also heard that the locations include Mexico, a return to New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., North Carolina, the volcanoes of Hawaii, Tokyo, Antarctica, Space, Tokyo in 1985 (complete with appearance of Raymond Burr), among many more and will feature not only several Cloverfield monsters, but also Hedorah, Mothra, and giant crab monsters.

Titles already said to be rejected by the studio are said to include “Four Leaf Cloverfield”, “Cloverfield Vs. Monsters Vs. Aliens” and “Clover…Field of Dreams.”

It should be noted that there are no official press releases or announcements in the trades yet, but we’re hearing this from some reliable sources. It should also noted that this is all fake, but who knows, what if they were filming this right now?

Blumhouse Bringing the ‘My Bloody Valentine’ Franchise Back to Life [Exclusive]

Published

on

Released in 1981, the original Canadian slasher classic My Bloody Valentine spawned a Hollywood remake (My Bloody Valentine 3D) in 2009, but it’s now been 15 years since we’ve heard a peep from the franchise about a sadistic and bloodthirsty miner with a pick(axe) to grind. But as “The Ballad of Harry Warden” once told us, it’s a curse that will live on and on…

And the My Bloody Valentine franchise does indeed plan to live on, as Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned that Blumhouse is developing a brand new My Bloody Valentine movie.

Stay tuned for more information as we learn it.

My Bloody Valentine is one of those franchises that never was, with both the original movie and the 2009 remake failing to spawn follow-up movies. That’s despite Lionsgate’s My Bloody Valentine 3D scaring up $100 million at the worldwide box office, and the original becoming a classic that horror fans enjoy watching every time the calendar flips to February 14.

George Mihalka directed the original 1981 movie. In the film, “A decades-old folk tale surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine’s Day turns out to be true to legend when a group defies the killer’s order and people start turning up dead.” 

Directed by Patrick Lussier, the 3D remake follows a similar storyline. “Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine’s night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame is the only one that believes he’s innocent.”

“In this little town when the 14th comes ’round, there’s a silence and fear in the air…”
