Cloverfield Timeline Theory
SPOILERS FOR CLOVERFIELD, LOST, M:I:3, SUPER 8, STAR TREK, ETC.
This post is a theory I have created on how many of JJ Abrams' works connect.
Firstly, Tagruato, the fictional company in CLOVERFIELD, appears on a skyscraper (left-most) in STAR-TREK in 2255. This is an easy way to connect the two films
Next, The Dharma Initiative logo from LOST appears at the beginning of CF, meaning they can be in the same universe too. In LOST and THE LOST EXPERIENCE, The Hanso Foundation >!(creator of Dharma) create a mysterious bioweapon, which many believe to be the Rabbits Foot from MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3, mainly because the Hanso Foundation!< is credited and thanked at the end of the credits, meaning the M:I franchise can also be in the same universe.
In CLOVERFIELD and it's ARG, a theory has been create by fans that >!Clovie ate Seabed Nectar, which we know from documents in the ARG, causes rapid cell growth and disfigurement, making it large enough to destroy New York.!< In SUPER 8, perhaps that is what the monster looks like>! without the Nectar.!<
Thank you so much for reading this post, I know there may be some holes, like >!New York being destroyed in Jan 2008, but then appearing in M:I films after 2008, but I guess they rebuilt fast? !<Feel free to suggest additions like Alias or Overlord. Because Abrams directed Star Wars 7 and 9, why can't they take place a long time ago before all this? If there is enough additions, I will make a revised version. Here is the final timeline.

What celebrities and political figures couldve died in Cloverfield?
We dont know for sure which celebrities and political figures were in NYC on May 23rd 2008 but im still interested into which ones couldve died. The only ones i thought of on the top of my head would be Michael Bloomberg as he was the Mayor of NYC at the time (although maybe he was evacuated) and Donald Trump as he owns multiple buildings in Manhattan and maybe he was at one of them on May 23rd (although maybe he escape by private helicopter maybe?)

Cloverfield paradox?
So they talk about quantum entanglement and that the matter from the two universes interact and make weird things happen, then why did they leave so much debri and the dead bodies of the crew in the other dimension. Won't they still continue to cause problems with the quantum entanglement?

Help me graduate :(
Hi, I'm writing a thesis about the ARG in Cloverfield and I will appreciate the help of any Cloverfield fan that participate in the ARG back in 2007.
Just tell me your experience, talk about theories you create, how far did you go in the lore back then, and that stuff.
I will really appreciate any information, and thanks for your help

Maybe 2 clovers on Cloverfield 2008
Maybe there were two clovers in Cloverfield (2008), when looking at photos of U.S. soldiers fighting Clover on the viral site of 01-18-08 and photos of the bloodied sea on Cloverfield (2008), Clover on this dimension died at this time, and during Rob's farewell party scene, Clover from another dimension passed over to the New York Port. This is not a orthodox theory, it is just a hypothesis I came up with.

Takashi Yamazaki new film "Grandgear"
I wonder if it could be s Clover film, I mean it could very well be, even though I feel its not. But Takashi could be the man to bring clover back and make it awesome, so maybe just maybe it will be, I always hold out hope during Superbowl for a new Clover film.

What are some movies that were planned to be Cloverfield movies but the changed?
Also can we aggree that the Cloverfield movies all take place in the same universe? I think having them all connected gives them more meaning and adds more mystery as to how there connected.
I don't understand why people think all the movies, not being in the same timeline makes them good. If none of these movies connect then why are they even named Cloverfield? It just makes the franchise lose meaning, and kinda pointless to watch if one movie doesn't even effect the other. It almost means any movie can be a Cloverfield.
The franchise being a twilight zone type of movie doesn't work. It work as a TV show but not a movie franchise. It doesn't even make sense if they don't connect at all.

Them being in the same world adds to the mystery and makes the viewer more interested in the franchise. Seeing how they connect, building up lore and waiting for the next movie to see if there theory is correct.
