After seemingly beginning its viral marketing last week, it looks like the third film in the “Cloverfield” franchise may have a title – “Cloverfield Station”. The film, previously titled “God Particle” and helmed by Julius Onah, follows astronauts aboard a space station who, after an accident with a particle accelerator, discover that Earth has vanished. […]
Word seems to be cementing that the films title is the above

Netflix has yet to do any major acquisitions at Sundance this year, a stark change from last year where they seemed to be picking up things left and right. Rumors around Park City, however, indicate there may be a reason for that. Following their acquisition of the international rights to Alex Garland’s “Annihilation” from Paramount, […]
There's a rumour that the film will no longer see a theatrical release and will instead be launched on Netflix

The less you know, the more you enjoy them.
I get tired of franchises shoe-horning in the same characters, when they could go the "universe" route like Cloverfield.
A different tale each Halloween (like Season of the Witch), rather than Michael Myers returning from the grave again.
Instead of Jack Bauer stretching implausibility for nine seasons, you could have followed the LAFD as they run around clearing up the aftermath of the various bombs going off and there's a Keifer Sutherland cameo where he bellows "You gotta keep these people off the street!" or something.
Rather than John Mclaine exclaiming "Oh man, I can't ****ing believe this. Another basement, another elevator. How can the same **** happen to the same guy quinary?", follow cop Al as some LA riots kick in or something. Maybe there's a Twinkie shortage.
STREET PUNK: "Gimme them Twinkies, you stupid orphans!"
AL DRAWS HIS GUN AND SHOOTS THE PUNK
CUT TO SHOT LOOKING AT AL THROUGH THE MASSIVE HOLE IN THE PUNK'S STOMACH
AL: "Heh, I guess it's not only Twinkies that are soft in the middle!"
THE ORPHANS AND AL LAUGH HEARTILY

Just over a week ago came rumors that streaming giant Netflix had picked up the worldwide rights to the third film under the J.J. Abrams-produced “Cloverfield” banner. It was thought the company would use this year’s Superbowl broadcast to post the first trailer announcing a launch date for the film probably around the April 20th […]
The third Cloverfield movie hasn't just been confirmed to be skipping cinemas and coming to Netflix, it's already live for viewing on the service.
Why did this amazing sudden grab for the streaming service come about?
Well, if online impressions and reviews are to be believed it's because the film is too poor in quality for Paramount to risk a theatrical release making the profitable deal with Netflix a slam dunk. Given the love Cloverfield Lane received I'd be curious what peeps on here think of the new film. It'll be interesting to see what it means for the upcoming fourth film too. I've read some spoilers already for this one and the franchise links sound atrociously stupid... so I'm curious to see it myself.

I'm actually a bit apprehensive to watch this one. My relationship with Cloverfield is that the first film was pretty much straight up guff whilst the second was a better film but nowhere near the level it is often spoken of being so the whole Cloverfield project is becoming a bit of a formless monster to me as a viewer and what I've heard of this almost fills me with dread whilst at the same time leaving the possibility that it's all becoming so ludicrous it might start becoming interesting.
