Somewhat wrongly called God Particle for a lot of its production time (which, it turns out, is a working title rather than anything official), the third Cloverfield franchise (should that be brand?) is coming in April and remarkably, we still know absolutely nothing about it.

Well, next to nothing anyway. Even a couple of months away from release, there's no trailer, no official images and a very small synopsis suggesting a story of a group of astronauts stranded in space when their scientific experiment seemingly vanishes the Earth. Careless, that.

Given Bad Robots' approach to the other Cloverfield movies - or more accurately, their relationship with one another - it wouldn't be too surprising if this was something of an origin story for Cloverfield's monsters. But then, the appearance of a fourth, historically set movie in the series complicates matters (unless it's going to be a time travelling movie of course).

Anyway, it's compelling because of the mystery (which is a very good strategy for driving interest and a lovely alternative to studios spoonfeeding us 95% of the plot as spoilers), and there should be a motivated audience for it.

Release Date: April 20th
