'10 Cloverfield Lane' TV Spot Reveals What's Outside the Cellar

Universal Pictures has launched a new TV spot for producer J.J. Abrams’ “10 Cloverfield Lane”. The mystery thriller has been described by Abrams as a “blood relative” to the 2008 hit “Cloverfield”. The spot features a woman, after a car accident, wakes up in an underground cellar. She fears she has been abducted by a survivalist, who tells her he saved her life, and that “it is not safe out there”. Uncertain what to believe, she decides she must escape, no matter what dangers she may face outside. It ends by briefly showing a house glowing with a monstrous growl nearby.

The film stars John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Gallagher Jr., and so far the official synopsis only reads, “Monsters come in many forms.” “10 Cloverfield Lane” surprised everyone and set the internet on fire when it uploaded its first look last January. A teaser showed Goodman, Winstead and Gallagher Jr. in a normal suburban household until a mysterious “something” disturbs the peace. The marketing campaign for 2008’s “Cloverfield,” also produced by Abrams, was similarly secretive.

Opening across the Philippines on April 6, “10 Cloverfield Lane” is distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
