'Cloverfield 4' Allegedly Wraps Filming
Rumor has it that "Cloverfield 4" has already finished filming. Titled "Overlord," the fourth installment in the popular franchise has reportedly been shot and could arrive in theaters later this year.
If rumors about "Cloverfield" arriving this year are true, then that means fans of the franchise will get to see two "Cloverfield" movies this year. Allegedly titled "Cloverfield Station," the third installment in the franchise is said to be released this year, but since J.J. Abrams is busy with "Star Wars 9," Paramount might sell the movie to Netflix. In fact, rumors are swirling around that Netflix is airing a Super Bowl ad for "Cloverfield 3" this weekend to surprise fans.
"Cloverfield 3" was originally slated for release on April 20. However, if Paramount's rumored deal with Netflix comes to fruition, then the said date might still be changed. Movieweb also noted that since Paramount's plan to release "Cloverfield 3" last year did not happen, then the film might be released this year instead, a few months prior to the release of the fourth installment.
