ComingSoon spoke with Cloverfield director Matt Reeves about found footage horror and the movie's 15th anniversary.
receiving a limited edition 15th-anniversary 4K UHD and Blu-ray Steelbook releaseTyler Treese: Cloverfield really stood the test of time and I think one of the aspects that makes the film so great is how you handle found footage. What we see in the film as a viewer is just as important as what’s off camera and what we don’t see.
Or we had to look at all that stuff. But it really was about looking at a lot of — I mean one of the crazy things, like when we shot the party scene, we had Josh Sheppard, who’s done a lot of storyboarding for me since — actually, he’s been on every movie I’ve done since — he put together this thing where he found this party on YouTube and these guys were filming themselves.
Spielberg didn’t come while we were shooting, but what he did do was he watched the movie while we were finishing it and then he gave us some advice about the very last moment with the alarms that were playing — the idea of the citywide alarms as we were reaching that kind of … I think he almost described it as that “moment” where you’re realizing that things are going to blow up and that kind of thing. So he had an influence, really, on the last moment of the movie when we were mixing it.
