Like just about everything else related to Warner Bros. Discovery, Bad Robot’s partnership with HBO Max and DC is very much on the fritz right now. Luckily, the company still has plenty of irons in other fires to fall back on elsewhere. With the future of the slow-moving “Star Trek 4” once again up in the air following Matt Shakman’s recent exit as director, it seems a different Bad Robot sci-fi project is roaring back to life over at Paramount Pictures.
According to Deadline, Paramount has a new “Cloverfield” movie in the works, with J.J. Abrams (as always) producing for Bad Robot. The film is being written by Joe Barton, who also penned 2017’s “The Ritual” and recently created the sci-fi series “The Lazarus Project” for Sky Max. Babak Anvari (“Under the Shadow,” “Wounds”) is attached to direct, with original “Cloverfield” writer-director duo Drew Goddard and Matt Reeves also onboard as executive producers.

A direct sequel at last?

Probably for the better, it sounds like the latest “Cloverfield” film may act as something of a soft reboot by mostly ignoring the events of the second and third entries in the property without, per se, wiping them from the canon (again, no shade against “10 Cloverfield Lane,” which is legit terrific). /Film will, of course, keep you updated on the still very hush-hush project as more details come our way.
