Just a reminder, director of this, Dan Trachtenberg, also did Portal: No Escape.

How is even possible to direct something like this in secret?

Easy, 5 mil. budget, codenamed and with a synopsis that doesn't resemble Cloverfield. Mystery Box preserved.

If it's 'Valencia' with a new title, then it's not Cloverfield 2. Saw a preview a few months ago, and it's big twisty fun.

All I will say is that John Goodman is fantastic in it. First half is a play on Misery, then it turns into something else.

No spoilers, but if you're thinking Cloverfield, don't. It's a puzzle/genre movie with some cool twists. Very Bad Robot.

If there are any connections to Cloverfield, I didn't see them. There may be Easter eggs or whatever, but nothing direct.

So it's basically what Portal is compared to Half-Life.

I want to get off Abrams' wild ride.

From Reddit
It was unfinished for a long time because this movie was originally part of Paramount's Insurge Division(source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/p ... rge-783745), which was a sector of Paramount devoted to low budget films made for 5 million or less. The Insurge divison collapsed and folded up and this film(when it was originally called Valencia) was caught in limbo with no studio home. Eventually it was grabbed up by Paramount again and new scenes were written in by Dan Casey to connect the film to the Cloverfield universe so it would actually make some money in theaters. Those new scenes/reshoots were shot in in March 2015 and they've spent the last year editing and adding effects. I'm starting to get a real funny feeling about this film the more and more I dig around. The original script, the fact that none of the original Cloverfield crew are involved(aside from JJ), and the fact that Paramount is releasing a film with a 5 million dollar budget in IMAX, is beginning to seem like a big cash grab for Paramount to make a few quick bucks off of an orphaned movie that they bought up. Here's some more info about the film in its original state: http://logins.specscout.com/homepage.ph ... &sp_id=287
