This trailer is for 10 Cloverfield Lane. Is it a sequel? Abrams describes it as a blood relative of Cloverfield. It looks tense.
What’s outside?
Actress Mary Elizabeth, who stars alongside John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr, gave Collider some insight into what her character was told;
“He tells me that basically the world is over outside because there’s been a nuclear fall-out. It does have similarity to Faults, in some ways, because you don’t know who’s telling the truth or who to believe. There’s a lot of, who’s manipulating who, and all of that. Tonally, it’s very different, but it has some of those same themes.”
Nuclear fall-out? Would that explain the fresh rumbles we see in the trailer, when the shaking above causes dust to fall back down into the shelter? Or is this a post-Cloverfield world where the land above is full of monsters? Or did mankind try the nuclear response to the original Cloverfield attack?
