Earlier this month Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot Productions dropped a major surprise when it release the trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane, the sequel / “blood relative” to the cult 2009 monster movie.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly at the SAG Awards, star Mary Elizabeth Winstead has been speaking about the secretive nature of the movie:
“There is this veil of secrecy to it from the very beginning. We were making this movie in this little bubble where nobody else knew what we were doing and there’s really only three actors in the whole thing, so it kind of felt like this really intimate experience. Now that it’s about to come out, it’s sort of crazy — like, ‘Oh yeah, people are excited to see this movie.’ I forgot that that was going to happen.”
Winstead stars in the film alongside John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr., and from the sounds of it, those may be the only three actors in the film:
“It’s so much about just the actors interacting with each other and that tension that builds, just all wondering if they are who they say the are, if they’re telling the truth or not, and really wondering what’s outside.”
10 Cloverfield Lane is set for release on March 11th, with Dan Trachtenberg (Portal: No Escape) directing.
