Do Right, Be Right. :)
It takes place on a Space Station.
That was Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the John Goodman one.
Cloverfield Paradox is a Netflix series with the same cast as the film Cloverfield God Particle. I think Paradox is out before the film. Not sure if is required to watch before the film.
Interesting. I've intentionally been ignoring everything online that even hinted of Cloverfield since I don't want it spoiled for me. I had no idea that there was a new show for me to watch now. Now that things will be slowing down a bit at work I have some great TV (Black Mirror Season 4) and potentially great TV (Cloverfield Paradox) to watch.
Thanks for the heads up. :)

I forgot to mention that the last time I found a cast crossover like this was when I was looking up Jewel again and noticed the cast of Serenity seemed to have the same character names as some TV show called Firefly. So this time I got a little tingly.

There was one bit of info that I didn't manage to filter about Cloverfield, but it wasn't a spoiler. I had heard that the trailer for it came out only several hours before "it" had come out in full. I had assumed they were talking about the movie when they were talking about how odd this was (in line with pretty much everything regarding the series so far, right down to the marketing).
They must have meant that a trailer had come out on YouTube and a few hours later the Netflix show was up. Or at least that's what I'm assuming now.
I'm going to say it's pretty safe to assume that you're supposed to watch the Netflix show first, since it's out now. But knowing the history of Cloverfield I don't think it's safe to assume anything. I can't imagine that they'd somehow ruin the movie experience by putting the show out first if you were supposed to see the movie first though. I see no benefit for them financially speaking by doing that.
Well... since you're not watching it I won't spoil it for you. I'll let you know if I liked it or not though whenever I get around to it.

Director of Mute says it is sequel to Moon.
Out 23 February. Haven't seen a trailer, but I recall some people really enjoyed Moon.

Moon was one of the last truly excellent films I've seen.
I had the pleasure of seeing it for the first time twice, actually.
Saw it on my dad's old 36" tube TV, and then a few months later watched it with my brother on his new-at-the-time 1080 flatscreen. It was the first movie I'd ever seen on a large true HD screen and it was simply amazing. Even though I probably wouldn't put Moon in my top 10 movies of all time, I will surely never forget it because of that moment. I imagine it was somewhat similar the feeling people got the first time they saw a movie in color.

Strange.... KODI didn't have the Cloverfield TV show.
I'll have to remember my Netflix pass. Been a long time since I logged into it.

7 Days in Entebbe is another re-enactment, out 16 March.
With Rosamund Pike, I might need to watch.

Oh.... that's why I didn't see Paradox. It was a movie, not a TV show. Reviews are terrible for it, and the word is that it wasn't even a Cloverfield movie when it was made. They went back and did a few reshoots to tie it together and when it bombed with test audiences some genius came up with the non-marketing marketing plan by putting a single ad out during the Super Bowl and dumping it on Netflix.
Netflix better be careful, or else the term "dumped on Netflix" is going to be synonymous to "Direct to Video" in the 90's.

Quote:With the whole cast duplicated in both Paradox and God Particle, were they intended to just be simultaneously produced films with similar backstories? That sounds like a big coincidence.

With the cast that they have, I have no intention of reading reviews of either. IIRC, the MEW & Goodman one was also downplayed by reviews.
