Like many of you out there I am a fan of that wonderful and illustrious show Lost, though at times a love hate relationship I always find myself coming back to it. Now unlike many of you out there I am also a fan of Cloverfield, a movie which in my opinion is a sublime piece of film. Now as we all know the wonder J.J. Abrams has been involved with both of these epics so it is plausible that they would be set in the same world. I know what you're thinking "why would a sexy and articulate man like you Ben believe such an outlandish thing?" Well I do have evidence to support my claims:
1. As already established both franchises involve one J.J. Abrams and are produced by Bad Robot.
2. They both have a 'monster', though different but both franchises exist within a world where monsters exist.
3. Both have an asian conspiracy working behind the scenes. The DHARMA initiative (DHARMA being a Buddhist name I believe for all the naysayers who say it isn't asian, Buddhism comes from asia) and Slusho and the companies behind that which if you've seen the viral videos and sites know of the creature and speculation suggests they wish to harness it.
4. The DHARMA logo is featured at the start of Cloverfield, maybe they've taken the video or have a copy as the monster links to their efforts.
5. They could exist as the people of LOST crashed before the events of Cloverfield so they wouldn’t have knowledge of the attack and that's why it's never mentioned in LOST.
So there you have it, reasonable evidence that the two are in fact one. it pains me to say it but this is the end of my first article. It has been a good ride from beginning to end but it must stop, CBM has had its daily dose of awesomeness and any more could potentially kill it. Though I must depart I will not leave you empty handed, I leave you with the tagline of an altogether different epic franchise: Live Free, and Die Hard!
Sincerely,
Benjamin Boekelaar.
