Cloverfield is an anthology[1] media franchise produced by J. J. Abrams consisting of the films Cloverfield (2008) and 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016), viral marketing websites linking the films together and a tie-in manga to the first film entitled Cloverfield/Kishin. Cloverfield is a found footage monster horror film released on January 18, 2008, which was well-received by critics. 10 Cloverfield Lane, a spiritual sequel to the first film, is a science fiction psychological thriller film that was released on March 11, 2016, and like its predecessor received positive reviews from critics.
In March 2016, Abrams talked about having come up with an idea of what they could do next with the Cloververse franchise, and that if they are lucky to get it made, "could be really cool that connects some stories."[2][3] Trachtenberg said he considers the ideas of doing a direct sequel to this film or another standalone Cloverfield movie as equally valid.
