20 Most Hotly-Anticipated Movie Sequels Coming In 2016

7. 10 Cloverfield Lane

Release Date: March 11, 2016 Just when you thought that J.J. Abrams had totally forgot about Cloverfield, along comes this little ditty... a truly unexpected arrival, and one that was made in relative secrecy to the knowledge of very few. It's rare that, in this day and age, a movie is made without everyone knowing everything about its production: 10 Cloverfield Lane is the exception to that rule. Presumably a sequel to the 2008 monster movie Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr. and is set in an underground bunker where these three people live out a strange and isolated existence, forbidden to leave the confines of their base. Why? Who knows? How very J.J. Abrams, right? The marketing and lack of build-up to 10 Cloverfield Lane has ensured it as one of the most hotly anticipated sequels of 2016, because who isn't intrigued to discover what the hell is going on in this movie? How does it link to Cloverfield? Who the hell are these people?
