10 Cloverfield Lane

[4thWallBreaker]

Well, I got the ending now. Thanks all who read the script. You're so cool.

Only way is if you read the tagged spoilers, so I don't see what you're complaining about.

I'm a good guesser. It'll be 80 minutes of paranoia, and 10 minutes of a reveal that'll... I can't. So you read the script, who cares? I read lot of books, I don't feel compelled to say things right away to ruin any part of it when they're adapted into films.

 

[Matt]

I don't know what you're griping about. You are mad because you guessed based on non-spoilers from a script that ultimately was changed? Uh huh.

 

[Matt]

P.S. Everything you are complaining about is in the trailer. The trailer goes out of its way to create a sense of paranoia among the bunker's inhabitants. The entire thing is choreographed to give a sense of artificial euphoria hiding a sense of deep paranoia. It also goes out of its way to illustrate that the majority of the film's action occur in the bunker (where the entirety of the trailer takes place). You're complaining about things that the trailer shows us. Just because you and Heretic convinced yourself that half of the movie will be outside of the bunker doesn't change the fact that the trailer shows very clearly that such is not the case. Don't blame me for ruining your denial.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Seems like everything you're upset about is stuff you already deduced. I don't see the problem?

 

[Alien Anal]

I think considering we dont know how much the script has been changed to make 10 Cloverfield Lane it makes it hard for someone to guess what is spoilers or not.

Its the very reason why I haven't and im sure plenty of other people here haven't read it.

Reading any script prior to seeing a movie sounds like an awful idea.

That's like peeking back behind the curtain at a magic show and then turning up at the show and complaining about not getting the full effect.

Anyone who reads the script doesn't get to complain about the movie then.

I'm just really tired of this.

When did audiences forget how to just be audiences? Now people have to be savvy and know everything because they're trying to outfox the storytellers before their butts are barely in the seats.

People have this "I can tell this story better than they can" attitude about everything and it's crap.

Why?

Because nobody cares how you'd tell the story. Because it's not your story to tell in the first place.

Once you know how things work and how they do what they do, you've ruined it for yourself whether you know it or not, whether you care or not.

Stop looking for the trap doors and the smoke and mirrors and just let the show go on. Seriously.

I will never read any book, in fear it might become a movie one day!!!!

Can't disagree with you there. I don't get it either. I want to know absolutely nothing and just see how the stories develop and how they're told. They're better that way IMO.

"Whaaaaaa people don't interact with media the same way I do! It's a travesty!"

If anything, the real problem is that writers like Abrams treat stories like magic tricks in the first place. The problem with the "mystery box" is that it is actually a terrible metaphor for how most stories work. He and his ilk are much more focused on the mechanics of surprise than drama or character. Take away the surprise and you are left with very little that is coherent a lot of the time.

Add in the fact that they fall back on the same pile of tricks and all of their work arrives pre-telegraphed. You don't have to be trying to outfox JJ Abrahms to be able to see where his crap is going as soon as you have the least bit of knowledge of whats going on, which is why he's so focused on keeping everything a secret.

Luckily, from time to time, Abrams will here other writers and filmmakers who are very deeply invested in character and story. With Cloverfield, listening to the commentary, it was actually kind of weird the amount of though Matt Reeves had put into presenting the characters and their relationships.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I liked the look of the trailer in isolation, but as a sequel to Clverfield this feels a bit of a let down.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

Btw, I think I figured out who John Goodman's character is:

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

I agree. It's not like reading the book first and then seeing the movie adaptation, it's seeing the cliffnotes and then seeing the movie. Such a disappointment that people wanna read the script first.

Also, yes, I agree wholeheartedly that people have this "I'd do this and that instead" mentality to stories. No one takes in a story anymore. They wanna say how they would've done it. Books, comics, tv, and movies. I've heard it in a lot of mediums. Lots of people like that. It's so annoying. Go write a fan-fic and shut up, I say to those people.

MEW talked to Entertainment Weekly about the film a little bit last night:

“There is this veil of secrecy to it from the very beginning,” she said at EW’s SAG Awards party in Los Angeles on Friday. “We were making this movie in this little bubble where nobody else knew what we were doing and there’s really only three actors in the whole thing, so it kind of felt like this really intimate experience. Now that it’s about to come out, it’s sort of crazy — like, ‘Oh yeah, people are excited to see this movie.’ I forgot that that was going to happen.”

Winstead is one of the three stars in the film (which Abrams has described as a “blood relative” of his 2008 monster movie), alongside John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr. Building suspense in a film with such a small cast, she said, was akin to working on a play.

“It’s so much about just the actors interacting with each other and that tension that builds, just all wondering if they are who they say the are, if they’re telling the truth or not, and really wondering what’s outside,” Winstead explained.

And the actors do know what’s lurking outside. “We always have the script. We know where it’s all leading to,” she told EW. “As production went on there were rewrites, as there usually are, but nothing that was major. It was always something that I knew we weren’t going to be able to talk about until people saw the movie.”

So does the majority of the movie take place in the bunker? I sure hope not. I loved all the outdoor disaster aspects of the last film.

Yoshida Brings Happy Flavor to Big Apple
Ganu Yoshida left with much fanfare today as he boarded his private Tagruato jet that will fly him directly to New York city in the United States. He will be meeting with acclaimed CEO Glen Warner, owner of BevVo, the largest privatized water manufacturer in the world. "Glen has many ideas for distributing Slusho! through pre-established public waterways," said Yoshida, "I wanted to come here myself to discover them."

Yoshida will spend four days in New York before continuing across the United States on a tour of potential Slusho! manufacturing plants.

Ganu Fights Off Attackers
Tagruato is proud to report that Ganu Yoshida, sustaining no injuries from his recent attack, is continuing his trip as scheduled. "They tried to hold down my hands," smiled Yoshida at today's BevVo press conference, "But I can still point to the stars."

Yoshida was ambushed yesterday afternoon by a radical gang as he left a important restaurant. The group was barely able to restrain Yoshida and pour a liquid over his head before Yoshida fought back, scattering the gang in all directions. Tagruato security officials believe these may be the same attackers who caused the Chuai Station incident weeks prior.

Yoshida remains in high spirits despite the incident and assures his loyalists that the stunt will not affect Slusho!'s assimilation into America. "I should really thank the criminals, " chuckled Yoshida, "Because of them, I had to postpone a meeting. Now I can extend my stay in New York. I look forward to seeing more of this wonderful city."

When asked if he feared further attacks from the radicals, who reportedly escaped after running from Yoshida's power, he responded, "No. I have nothing more to worry about from them."
