Forums - Sony Discussion - The Last Of Us And Uncharted Inspired 10 Cloverfield Lane

Landing in theaters today is the excellent 10 Cloverfield Lane. Produced by J.J. Abrams and directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the suspense-driven movie acts as a ‘blood relative’ to the original Cloverfield movie though no one is going as far as calling it a sequel. Having had a chance to watch the flick last night, I can tell you that you’re in for a treat and that you will want to see it before being spoiled on its ending.

Dan Trachtenberg talking about how they were able to make the film feel so personable:

  …I did feel like that Cloverfield – its first-person perspective made that movie so much more of an experience. I really wanted this movie to also feel that subjective and feel less like something being watched and more like an experience. So, I actually turned to video games for inspiration.  

Not surprisingly, the games Dan and company were inspired by and borrowed from included Uncharted and The Last of Us – two games known for their cinematic scope and feel. More after the jump.

I love the design of a lot of these 3rd person action games, if you think of the Uncharteds or Last of Us. Those games feel as subjective as the first person shooters do, so I think, stealing from some of their design elements, we were able to make this feel – even though it was very classically told, in a more traditional filmmaking style – you still feel like you are vicariously experiencing everything that the protagonist is experiencing and you really feel in her shoes.

Everyone saying Goodman is great in this movie.

Grom what I've seen it's one of his best performancies.

The tone from TLOU will be perfect for this movie.

Funny thing, considering how disappointing this movie was. That either doesn't speak well for Uncharted and The Last of Us, or this director took inspiration but it didn't help in the end.

Whaat?!

The movie was great, unless you expected a sequel, it had nothing to do with Cloverfield ( thanks god) but the atmosphere was very good and Goodman was perfect.

Except the ending, it's probably the second best movie of the month, after what's coming next week



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

A predictable movie with predictable set-pieces, that has nothing to do with the supposed predecessor its name is plastered after, and some really weird and dumb closure.

I mean, I don't say it's a bad movie. It's just extremely disappointing.
