Bradley Cooper to star in 10 Cloverfield Lane

Details have emerged that Hollywood heartthrob Bradley Cooper will have a role in the upcoming mystery movie, 10 Cloverfield Lane. Details of the sci-fi thriller have remained a top secret with only a few days left to its release and just a few trailers to give movie lovers a glimpse of what it is about.

You may be wondering how Bradley Cooper landed a role in this movie which also stars John Goodman and his namesake John Gallagher Jr alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Well, Cooper has his working relationship with the film's producer, J.J Abrahams to thank. Cooper and Abrahams go way back when Cooper starred as Will Tippin in Abrahams' Alias. J.J Abrahams and the director Dan Trachtenberg had needed to cast a small role and were wondering who to give it to when Abrahams thought of his former cast and contacted him.

Dan Trachtenberg has confirmed Abrahams' selection of Cooper to USA Today. The newspaper spoke to him on phone Monday and he said that it was indeed Abrahams' idea to involve Cooper in the movie and that Cooper will only be starring in a small voice over the phone role and not a visible cameo role. The film will feature John Goodman as the lead actor with John Gallagher Jr also playing a near lead role.
Cooper has previously starred in leading roles in other famous movies including American Sniper, Silver Linings Playbook, Burnt, Limitless, and The Hangover among others. The 41 year old Hollywood hunk also works as producer. People will wait to see his role when new film is finally released on Friday.

Like with many works of J.J. Abrahams' Bad Robot company, secrecy surrounds 10 Cloverfield Lane which has been said to be a blood relative of Mart Reeves' Cloverfield. Very little is known about about aspects of the science fiction film such as plot, twists, and even the entire cast. There have only been a few spoilers here and there but with very scanty information.
According to the little that is known about 10 Cloverfield Lane, Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as Michelle, a young woman who is running away from a troubled marriage. In the event of everything, Michelle gets involved in a car accident, becomes unconscious and when she comes to, she finds herself in an underground room with the door locked and her legs shackled to the wall. Michelle is confused about what is taking place but Howard (John Goodman) suddenly enters the room and explains to her that the earth has been under an attack and everyone outside has died and that he rescued her and brought her into his underground bunker. He tells her that they have enough supplies to survive in the underground bunker for as long as it could be necessary. Michelle is even more confused, she doesn't know whether to believe Howard or whether he could be insane.

It is reported that Dan Trachtenberg had initially intended to call the film The Cellar before J.J Abrahams came in and proposed that it be called 10 Cloverfield Lane. Friday will let people know what this eagerly awaited sci-fi thriller is all about.
