Is the headline long enough for you? If I could really push the limits, it would read something along the lines of ‘The must-own Cloverfield limited-edition 4K Ultra HD SteelBook is the only way to celebrate its 15-year anniversary and it’s packed with amazing awesomeness.’ Not too shabby, huh?

Easily one of the most fun, exciting and mind-blowing flicks of its kind arrived January 18, 2008 and I have watched it easily nearly 10 times in addition to its epic follow-up 10 Cloverfield Lane which is still beyond epic and must-see. So with 15 years nearly in the books, it’s the only way to geek out over this sci-fi thriller, especially if you love New York disaster things.

Before geeking out with all the cool things you get with this rollout, let me just simplify why this movie is epic. For starters, if you watch it with the lights out at home, you really feel like you’re in a moment and experiencing this in real life. Especially being a New Yorker, the reactions and decisions - for the most part of course - all seem genuine through the end. Running with heels on though? Eh - a stretch - but everything else? Spot-on. Okay, whew - with that being said… let’s start the countdown.

CLOVERFIELD, the groundbreaking film that started a global franchise, celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2023.   Fans can celebrate the milestone with a new Limited-Edition 4K Ultra HD SteelBook™, arriving January 17, 2023 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Produced by J.J. Abrams and directed by Matt Reeves (The Batman), CLOVERFIELD debuted in the U.S. on January 18, 2008 and became a smash hit, ultimately earning more than $172 million worldwide on a $25 million budget.  The film thrilled critics and audiences alike with its shocking, first-person video account of a horrifying attack on Manhattan by an unknown—and seemingly unstoppable—force.  

Filled with action and spectacle, CLOVERFIELD offers an eye-popping experience on 4K Ultra HD.  The collectible, Limited-Edition 4K Ultra HD SteelBook includes new artwork reviewed and approved by both Abrams and Reeves, the film on both 4K Ultra HD Disc and Blu-ray™, access to a Digital copy of the film, as well as a wealth of legacy bonus content on Blu-ray, including alternate endings, deleted scenes, director commentary, and much more:
