While time will tell if Overlord is the fourth film in the Cloverfield universe (following the October 27th, 2017 release of God Particle), the World War II thriller now has a release date for fans to look forward to.
According to multiple sources, including Variety, Overlord will be released on October 26th, 2018. If Overlord is indeed a Cloverfield movie, it would join the 2008 film, last year's 10 Cloverfield Lane, and the upcoming God Particle in the expanding cinematic universe.
Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more information on Bad Robot and Paramount Pictures' D-Day-set thriller—which began filming in May in the UK—and check out the previous press release for more details, including the official synopsis.
Previous Press Release: "HOLLYWOOD, CA (May 17, 2017) – Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot jointly announced today the complete cast for OVERLORD, from Director Julius Avery (SON OF A GUN).
Joining the previously announced casting of Jovan Adepo and Wyatt Russell, the film will also star Jacob Anderson (GAME OF THRONES), Dominic Applewhite (THE KING’S SPEECH), Pilou Asbaek (GAME OF THRONES), Iain de Caestecker (Marvel's AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.), John Magaro (THE BIG SHORT), Mathilde Ollivier (THE MISFORTUNES OF FRANCOIS JANE), and Bokeem Woodbine (FARGO).
The Bad Robot production is produced by J.J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber, and written by Billy Ray (CAPTAIN PHILLIPS) and Mark L. Smith (THE REVENANT).
On the eve of D-Day, a group of American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion’s success. But as they approach their target, they begin to realize there is more going on in this Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation.
The film will begin shooting this May in the U.K."
