If there is anything we love about J.J. Abrams‘ mystery box movies, it’s that the payoff is worth more than the price of admission. Cloverfield was a nauseating POV hit that gave way to its cousin-like sequel 10 Cloverfield Lane. That film ended with the possibility of a sequel, which would presumably be connected to its predecessors while also standing on its own. It’s still not clear how God Particle will link to these films. But since it has been pulled from Paramount’s release schedule, it is safe to say the studio has found a “replacement” in Julius Avery‘s Overlord.
When the film was announced back in February, folks started to connect the dots when the project was yet another Bad Robot and Paramount collaboration. Now, new casting and a plot description is feeding the speculation machine.
Now that fall is officially here, that means studios will begin to roll out their Oscar-worthy films. Paramount has released the first trailer for Fences, Denzel Washington‘s latest directorial effort, which is an adaptation of August Wilson‘s award-winning play of the same name.
Set in the 1950s, the film centers on Troy Maxson (Washington) a former major league baseball player turned garbage truck driver who now struggles to provide for his family. Viola Davis also stars as Troy’s wife, Rose. Check out the full trailer below.
