What's left behind the scenes

News of the film's existence and its upcoming release became known less than two months before its theatrical release. The film was shot in complete secrecy, and the first trailer was released during the premiere of Michael Bay's '13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi' on January 14, 2016. Matt Reeves also shot 'Cloverfield' (2008) in strict secrecy, and the first trailer was released before a screening of 'Transformers' (2007), also directed by Michael Bay.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead was the only actress the filmmakers wanted to see in the role of Michelle.
In the store window, you can see the 'Slusho' cocktail, which first appeared in Matt Reeves' thriller 'Cloverfield' (2008).
During filming, the actors (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, and others) were not told the film's title, keeping it secret until the very end.
A script called 'The Basement' had nothing to do with the 'Cloverfield' universe. It was later renamed 'Valencia,' and then J.J. Abrams' company Bad Robot acquired and reworked the script.
Michelle's phone is connected to the 'BRT' communication network. This is an abbreviation for 'Bad Robot,' J.J. Abrams' company.
Michelle stops to fill up with gas at a "Kelvin" gas station. This is a so-called "Easter egg" that producer J.J. Abrams inserts into all the projects he's involved in. This is his way of paying tribute to his maternal grandfather, Henry Kelvin, the owner of an electronics company who had a huge influence on Abrams when he was a child.
The film features a printed form with the inscriptions "Bold Futura" and "Tagruato Inc." This refers to the film's advertising campaign, as well as Matt Reeves' film "Cloverfield" (2008). "SLUSHO!" and "Bold Futura" are divisions of the fictional company "Tagruato." In that film, Howard works with satellites for "Bold Futura," while Rob is heading to Japan to take a position as vice president of marketing at "SLUSHO!"
In one episode, a character played by John Goodman is watching Howard Deutch's film "Pretty in Pink" (1986) on television, where the character played by Molly Ringwald designs and sews her own dresses as a hobby. In "10 Cloverfield Lane," the character played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead also dreams of becoming a designer.
The plotline about someone being held in a bunker because the air outside is contaminated was used in the second season of the TV series "Lost" (2004-2010). In both cases, the person offering this false explanation dies in a confrontation with the person they were trying to convince of its truth. J.J. Abrams was a producer on both "Lost" and "10 Cloverfield Lane."
In one scene in the film, Michelle, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, crawls through an air duct while wearing a white tank top. This is similar to a scene from John McTiernan's film "Die Hard" (1988), where the main character, John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, also crawls through an air duct. In "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007), Mary Elizabeth Winstead played McClane's daughter, Lucy.
News of the film's existence and its upcoming release became known less than two months before the release date. The film was shot in complete secrecy, and the first trailer was released during the premiere of Michael Bay's "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" on January 14, 2016. Matt Reeves also filmed "Cloverfield" (2008) in an atmosphere of utmost secrecy, and the first trailer was released before the screening of "Transformers" (2007), also directed by Michael Bay.
