'10 CLOVERFIELD LANE' TRAILER: Abrams' Secretly Makes 'Cloverfield’ Sequel
Seemingly out of nowhere, a major monster movie is slated for the spring.

Actor Winstead seems to be backing the sudden announcement:
Produced by Abrams and directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the film doesn’t appear to be a shaky-cam descendant of the original, and the trailer reveals zero monster looks. Here’s a Cloverfield refresher:
10 Cloverfield Lane has been announced for a March 11, 2016 theatrical release.
