Nah, it's pretty likely that Valencia started life as Valencia and then became a Cloverfield-related movie in production. Abrams has said as much.
He also said that the transformation happened early in production, which cuts down on the possibility of "cobbling together" a link quite a bit.
I dunno, 20th page of a thread less than 12 hours old, what do you think.

From the trailer, it appears that they are

Also, I heard from an inside source that

John Goodman doing puzzles in a bunker? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP. What a surprise, looks great.
It was alright. I remember the little bits of hints and discussions on how the monster came to be was more enjoyable than the movie.

There's not really "confidence" so much as there's a backlash to the people on the thread who are like "this better be in the universe or this movie will be SHIT and Abrams will have LITERALLY LIED TO US!"

Damn, didn't expect this one bit. Such a refreshment after now years of Marvel/DC long-haul teasing and multiple trailers that we're getting something like this two months after its revealed.
It better have monsters. Not even big ones, those small Mist-like ones from the original would be great. If they're making it into an anthology series they'd have picked a different name, 10 Cloverfield Lane sounds nothing like "completely different story with similar elements" to me. At least I hope they aren't doing that.

Let me put an idea out there for you:
Guy: Let's make a sequel to Cloverfield.
JJ: Ok but I don't want anyone to know we're making it so let's call it something else.
How fucking hard is that to imagine? Your tone comes off so condescending, as if something like this has never ever happened in filmmaking before, like movies never ever shoot with different names to keep them secret. Of course nobody cared when it was called Valencia, because weather or not it started as a Cloverfield movie or ended as one, nobody else even fricking knew it existed. That's kind of the entire point of keeping the title a secret until the last frames of the teaser.
Now, what it actually seems like, is that while making Cloverfield JJ and crew had a bunch of ideas for a sequel. The other guy filming on the bridge. An action movie following the army. A news crew. All movies that aren't technically sequels because they all take place at the same time, just different views of the same event.
It looks and sounds like they had an idea for a Cloverfield offshoot, got this script to a movie called Valencia, and went "Hey this is kinda like our idea let's turn this into a Cloverfield movie but let's keep it on the DL" and Bob's your uncle.
Weather or not it turns out to actually be connected is, at this point, anyone's guess. But talking down to people who are excited about the idea of a new Cloverfield monster movie when literally all we have to go on at this point is a trailer where something shakes an underground bunker and a guy goes "something's coming" and the fucking name Cloverfield appears on the screen, all things that are clearly meant to conjure ties to the only other movie called Cloverfield that happens to be about a giant monster, is ridiculous.

I think I have an advantage in that I never saw the first one and this looks cool regardless of what universe it takes place in.
Obviously your expectations as a fan of the original would be different than mine.
Huh? No because JJ said it's not a direct sequel.
Not saying it doesn't look cool, and I'm definitely going to see it. But unless it's made really clear that this is unrelated to the original in every way then I'm going to feel a little bummed.
I'm not stupid enough to hate it even if it's good like people did when Halloween 3 didn't have Micheal Myers in it, though.

It's almost as if people have different opinions on what is and is not enjoyable.
I just really hope that this is not somehow happening at the same time as the other movie because that would suck.
I would to see more.
I am guessing you were one of those people that had no idea what you were going to see when you went to see the original movie. Didn't look anything up, did not do any research and just thought it was going to be a generic mindless Godzilla/Kaiju clone.
Part of what I loved about the first movie was so many people in my theater were pissed or just "wtf" because they had no idea what was going on.
Cloverfield was awesome, especially when put together with the viral videos and the ARG stuff.

It's a giant alien monster that rampages around a city. Is that not what a Kaiju is?

If that is the definition yes, I thought Kaiju was a definition for giant anime monsters though (or a word for Japanese style monsters). Like how Lovecraftian is a style of monster based on Lovecraft's descriptions.
Yeah. Kaiju's just a general term for giant monsters.

Ok thanks for clearing that up.

It all makes sense, Goodman is their son!
Why would it be Lovecraftian, was it shouting "IA IA" or something?
That term REALLY gets thrown around far too loosely.
I mean it was a giant beast from the stars, that is the extent of any kind of link to Lovecraft.
So were about quite a few of the creatures from the Godzilla canon.
When Clovefield was in the very early leaking stage, there was a rumor that it was going to be a Call of Cthulhu movie thing but that was shot down as more information came.
I would normally agree with this, but I actually enjoyed it in Cloverfield.
Nick Fury is on the other side of that door.

Otherwise they better just cancel it.
Why would you ask that when there's 20 pages of people in here saying how much they liked the first?
yyyyyyyyyy
I am confused about what is a rumor and what is confirmed. There is a quote in the OP from Abrams saying that they intentionally hid the title of this movie for as long as possible and that the idea for it to be set in the Cloverfield universe was set a long time ago.
Why are there people arguing about them taking a completely unrelated movie and changing the title to capitalize on the brand?

Blood relative can mean a lot of things.

I'm not sure either. He's quoted as saying this was the plan from very early on in production. They didn't slap the Cloverfield name on an unrelated movie.
?
I said Cloverfield universe. I wasn't arguing the blood relative line, I'm asking about why people think they stole some other unrelated film and changed the title for shits and giggles.

Them legs though.
Braced knee, would not call.
She's using a crutch in one scene, thought it could be near the end but maybe the beginning if she's injured.
Also, this ^^
it feels like its going to be an hour and a half of tension in the bunker with maybe 30 mins of the reveal. If they don't show giant monsters in the first 45 mins, you might as well watch
The Divide again where REAL bunker shit goes down.
I thought that was a boot with laces. I think it's the angle of the shot
It doesn't feel like that at all to me. Going by the marketing they are going for here, they are trying to keep everything underwraps and keep us guessing. I feel like no trailer is going to show anything past the first act, which is the bunker.
I suspect the scenes with her knee are from the start of the movie when she awakens there, suspects she's been kidnapped and tries to escape. Later when she's doing the puzzles, looking content are after she's looked outside the window and realized there's no hope out there.

in the video you can see her bare ankle/foot
Guess it goes with the sling on the other guy
Was he aware of the movie at all? With the fake title?
Ah my bad. Would not hit then.

So my guess is that the monster or race of monsters has basically won. The outside world is a post apoctalyptic waste because of the nukes used to attempt to fight them off.
Man. That's pretty impressive.
I texted him again-but I'm not clear. He just said he didn't know about it. For all I know it might be common for one hand to not know what the other hand is doing. He keeps pretty busy working on the TV stuff.
