"The franchise of sci-fi invasion movies began with 2008's Cloverfield, but each of its two sequels, 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox, were retooled from original scripts to fit into the 'Cloververse.'"
"While it's now being marketed as The End of Oak Street, originally it had a different title: Flowervale Street. Perhaps 'Flowervale' was tipping its hand a bit too much."
"Clover is a kind of flower, and 'vale' means valley, which seems suspiciously close to 'field.'"
"J.J. Abrams, the creator of the Cloverfield franchise, is listed as a producer on this movie, and it's his credit that's shown first in the trailer."
The Cloverfield franchise has a history of reworking original scripts to fit its narrative. The End of Oak Street, directed by David Robert Mitchell, is speculated to be part of this universe. Originally titled Flowervale Street, the name change hints at connections to Cloverfield. The film features a suburban setting disrupted by prehistoric creatures. J.J. Abrams, the franchise creator, is credited as a producer, further fueling speculation about its ties to the Cloververse.
