There's no doubt that the Cloverfield movies only generate more questions with each installment. And although everything was supposed to be explained in The Cloverfield Paradox, that wasn't the case. And while we wait for a movie that answers all the questions, a group of fans decided to make Megan, a short tribute to the Cloverfield universe
Ten years ago, Cloverfield was released, a science fiction and horror film created and produced by J. J. Abrams. Following its success, it had two sequels, 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) and The Cloverfield Paradox (2018), and even a manga, Cloverfield/Kishin (2008), to accompany the release of the first installment. What's striking about this anthology of films is that despite the name of the franchise, there's no direct connection between one story and another, since each installment deals with creatures from other dimensions attacking Earth, all as a repercussion of an experiment carried out by a team of astronauts aboard the Cloverfield Station in outer space.
And while the public waits for an upcoming movie to close this whole circle of connections (forget about Overlord, since it's not part of the franchise), a group of fans decided to make Megan, a fan film tribute to the Cloverfield universe. The story introduces us to Megan, the daughter of Howard Stambler (John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield Lane), who seems to be part of some kind of military operation. Despite its short runtime, Megan successfully connects the three Cloverfield movies through small clues and, of course, with the presence of a giant monster at the end.
The short also makes references to the Black Knight and Hatsui satellites, the red flash caused by the Shepard particle accelerator and, of course, the Slusho drink. We also see the character Ganu Yoshida, who is the CEO of the Tagruato company. Megan is a short film directed by Greg Strasz, known for his visual effects work on films like 2012 and Independence Day: Resurgence, and starring Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz (Rings) and Garret T. Sato (The Wolverine).
