During Paramount Pictures' presentation at CinemaCon 2018, J.J. Abrams cleared the air about their upcoming film Overlord, denying that it's a Cloverfield film. More within...
A few weeks before Netflix's sudden release of The Cloverfield Paradox, news broke that the next Bad Robot film, Overlord, was part of the Cloverfield universe of random films. That turns out to no longer be the case, as J.J. Abrams announced, at CinemaCon 2018, that Overlord is its own film. Moreover, it's the first R-rated film that Bad Robot has ever produced.
When talking about the World War II horror film about Nazis who have employed supernatural forces and terrifyingly gruesome experiments, Abrams said, "It's bat shit crazy!". While, that's indeed exciting for Abrams and horror fans to hear, Cloverfield fans may be bummed about the news.
Thankfully, Abrams also revealed that Bad Robot is in the process of developing a direct sequel...

The controversial Netflix/Paramount deal for “The Cloverfield Paradox” happened one month into the new year, but it’s bound to go down as one of the biggest industry stories of 2018. The studio quietly sold distribution rights to the third “Cloverfield” installment to Netflix for a reported $40-$50 million, essentially making back the $45 million it spent to produce it. The streaming giant then surprise premiered “Paradox” shortly after the Super Bowl on February 4.
Paramount’s Chief Operating Officer Andrew Gumpert recently defended the decision during a keynote at UCLA’s annual Entertainment Symposium (via Variety). Gumpert joined the studio in January after a 12-year stint at Sony Pictures Entertainment, which means sorting out what to do with “Paradox” was one of his first decisions. The COO admitted that Paramount executives and producer J.J. Abrams all reviewed the movie together and collectively came to the decision that it lacked “commercial playability” if released in theaters.
