While we’re all on pins and needles waiting to see how Universal’s Dark Universe plays out, let’s not forget that J.J. Abrams has his own monster universe at play! Starting with Cloverfield and moving on to 10 Cloverfield Lane, the next entry will be this October’s God Particle, a sci-fi/horror film that is pretty bare of information. However, a Reddit post by user Dratliff21 reveals what very well may be the story of the film, and it sounds quite interesting!
It’s basically a paranoid “who’s my friend and who’s my enemy” film that takes place in space. A cool plot device is that, if the synopsis is correct, the Earth has vanished, leaving everyone positive that they are going to have to live out the rest of their lives in space.
The synopsis was posted as a screenshot and is pretty hard to read, even at full size. So I went ahead and typed it all out for you:
This science-fiction horror thriller is the third film in the ‘Cloverfield’ monster universe. As a calamitous world war between the United States and the European Union rages, spurred on by an invasion of alien creatures that threatens all of mankind, a group of American astronauts are sent out to space aboard the space station ‘Dandelion’ with a very specific mission: to test out a new Higgs Boson “God” particle accelerator that just might be the key to humanity’s survival. But when the crew, under direction from their captain Ava Hamilton, turns on the device, the Earth seemingly disappears. Realizing their coordinates haven’t changed, the entire crew-including fellow engineer and Ava’s boyfriend, Evan, the boyish Milka, the pious Monk, shaggy-haired ship screw-up, Mundy, and military agents Martinez and Cosbi-now fear that they are truly lost in space and have to prepare to wait out the remainder of their lives [on] this self-sustaining space station.
Unexpectedly, they are soon contacted by an enemy European spaceship-giving them hope and concerns at the same time. After debate, they agree [to] let the new crew onto their ship, a decision which almost immediately turns tragic when Ava’s boyfriend is poisoned. As the accusations fly amidst increased tensions, the American crew decides to imprison the European astronauts. But when Mundy soon turns up dead as well, Ava must no figure out who the murderers really are…and who anyone can trust as the American crew must battle against each other, as well as with the new intruders, who are soon intent on getting the super weapon on board the ship for their own purposes back on earth.
Here’s what we know so far that’s confirmed as official: Julius Onah directs from a script by Oren Uziel and Doug Jung. David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ziyi Zhang, Elizabeth Debicki, Daniel Brühl, and Chris O’Dowd star.
