BB 3/14/16



Good morning Phoenix – it’s Movie Monday time.  Let’s look at one that is currently in theaters:  10 Cloverfield Lane.  It stars John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and the voice of Bradley Cooper.

Plot:  After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a shelter by two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack.

Trivia: 
·         This film was officially announced less than two months before its release. The film had been completed without anyone knowing and the first trailer was shown during "13 Hours".
·         Based on a script titled "The Cellar", (with the production name Valencia), which was then reworked into a Cloverfield sequel.
·         According to producer J.J. Abrams, this is considered a "blood-relative" to the original Cloverfield (2008).
·         Bradley Cooper provides the voice of Michelle's boyfriend Ben on the phone in this movie.
·         Howard states that he worked on satellites for the military. Michelle sees an envelope in the bunker from a company called Bold Futura. Bold Futura is the company responsible for the satellite that is seen crashing into the ocean at the end of Cloverfield (2008) which is what is believed to be responsible for disturbing the creature.

Goofs:
·         At the beginning of the film, when Michelle checks her phone while driving, the clock at the top shows that the time is 6:29pm. When she eventually wakes up in the bunker, the time on her phone still shows the time as 6:29pm.

Anyone see the original Cloverfield?  It’s one of my favorites, although the shaky “found footage” style shooting apparently made a lot of people quite ill.

 Have a fangtastic Monday! <3 Brock V"""V
