Peter: Were you a fan of the original Matt Reeves film Cloverfield?
Ape Meets Girl: Huge fan! I’m a sucker for a giant monster, and I thought Cloverfield nailed it. I just got back from New York yesterday and I had to scope out a few locations while I was there!
Peter: How did you get involved in creating this 10 Cloverfield Lane poster?
Ape Meets Girl: I was contacted by IMAX and then Dan. They explained they were looking for something to promote the IMAX screenings and wanted to know if I was interested. Dan told me J.J. had seen my work and loved it, so I was sold at that point (as if I needed convincing!)
Peter: I know you love to hide Easter eggs in your art, what can you tell us about the Easter eggs in this print? Did they come out of a collaboration between you and Dan?
Ape Meets Girl: Haha. Well, there are some obvious ones, like in the grass, and anyone who is following the Alternate Reality Game will be familiar with the name that appears in the post. As for the others, there are nods to the film, subtle nods, that really just appear to be part of the mailbox and the background, but once you’ve seen the film, you’ll realise their relevance. Some of them I added myself, but others were Dan’s idea, in particular he was keen to incorporate The Totally Rad Show into the image somewhere.
Entertainment Weekly has a bunch of new info on Dan Trachtenberg’s upcoming 10 Cloverfield Lane, a “blood relative” to 2008’s Cloverfield. Producer JJ Abrams had some news to share:
On whether 10 Cloverfield Lane is a sequel:
“I think that would be presumptuous, because we’re talking about this movie and comparing it to Cloverfield, but I would be lying if I didn’t say there was something else that, if we’re lucky enough to do it, could be really cool that connects some stories.” Abrams’ only clue is that there is a “larger conceit” at play here. “This is just this movie, and it’s only two films that we’re talking about right now.”
There is also a separate article on how JJ and Bad Robot managed to keep the film under secrecy for so long:
Even though the scale of 10 Cloverfield Lane kept the cast small, producers were still cautious about who got to know what. When John Gallagher, Jr., auditioned and Skyped with Trachtenberg, he only received a partial script and didn’t find out about the Clover-verse plans until partway through filming. “Maybe this was the idea from the beginning and I was late to the equation,” Gallagher says.
During the 36-day shoot in New Orleans, Valencia got the full Bad Robot treatment. Physical scripts were printed on red paper — just like those for Star Wars: The Force Awakens — and any digital links were sent with a limitied viewing window, after which they’d deactivate. “You don’t want this getting out,” Mary Elizabeth Winstead says. “That was very clear to me from the get-go.”
“We kept it quiet because we knew we wanted to try something unusual,” Abrams says. “Something unusual doesn’t always work, but at least it’s unusual.”
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly hits stands TOMORROW. Additionally, head to the gallery to check out the newest still.

Amanda Crew, Mary’s best friend for over 10 years and Final Destination 3 co-star recently did a gorgeous photo shoot with Mary as well as a new interview for her web site Frank Be Frank. In it, Mary talks about her early career, meeting Riley, her favorite music, and more. Be sure to visit the website to read the interview in full. Below are some highlights:
On turning down a role in A Cinderella Story (starring Hilary Duff):
It was a huge studio movie and I had not done a studio movie at that time. I had only done TV work and was really trying to break into movies but I had scheduled this cruise with my best friend who was banking on going on this celebratory senior trip cruise with me. We had just graduated high school and it was this big decision for me. Do I go shoot this movie or do I go on this cruise? But I really wanted to go on the cruise and I wasn’t that excited about the movie, even though I knew it would be good in terms of getting my foot in the door. So I decided to go on the cruise and ended up meeting my future husband.
On quitting Twitter: I know. I did it so randomly. I was sitting on the couch and I was just like, “I don’t want to do this.” I felt bad because I felt that people assumed that it was because I was being antagonized or something and it wasn’t that at all. I have very little of that and I can handle the little bit that I do get. I was just like, “I don’t know what I’m doing with this” or “What am I saying?” and I didn’t know what I was bringing to the table. And there’s also so much antagonism of other people, even more so than my own personal antagonism of people saying mean things to me. It was more just seeing fighting of other people on Twitter a lot. A lot of arguing amongst people who agree with each other, which was exhausting for me to read.
On the nude hacking scandal in 2014: As I was seeing all the media and stuff about it I was just becoming more and more angry and more and more disgusted and sickened. And that was when I had to get off Twitter too. Again it was one of those things that was just so much worse when you see it happening to people that you respect. And that you admire. Because when the stuff was directed towards me, yes it was awful, but it was also like, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” I know who I am so it can’t really be that hurtful to me when it’s just trolls attacking me. The scope of it was so disgusting to me. And such a large scale attack on women as a whole.
