The director of Cloverfield MattReeves exclusively addresses those rumors about the film being connected to EscapeFromNewYork.
One of the most memorable scenes in 2008's Cloverfield is a scene in which the head of the Statue of Liberty is tossed through the streets of New York City by a giant monster, while an iconic element of John Carpenter's 1981 film Escape from New York is how the poster similarly features the head of the statue.
In support of the upcoming release, ComicBook.com asked director Reeves about the connections between the films, with Reeves detailing,"No, it's not a secret prequel, but it is related to it. That's actually where the idea came from, because I think [producer] J.J. [Abrams] had that poster ...
After discussing the concept, though, Reeves went on to joke that this connection did seem more interesting and claimed that this was, in fact, the intention all along. "I think J.J. had the idea, because he had that poster, 'Well what if the head of the Statue of Liberty was thrown down the street?' So it absolutely was inspired by Escape from New York, but it's not a secret prequel or related to that," Reeves detailed."I like that meaning, though. You can say that. You know what? I'm gonna change my answer, now my answer is yes.
Cloverfield takes a found-footage approach to telling a giant monster movie, as a creature has emerged from the waters to terrorize New York City. In Escape from New York, a dystopian America has converted the island of Manhattan into a maximum security outpost for criminals, with former soldier Snake Plissken being tasked with rescuing the president of the United States from the island.
