FILM 1989: OVERLORD

TRIVIA: The movie featured more practical effects rather than the standard cgi effects most movies use. This was done to get a better reaction from the actors involved in the scenes where something gruesome would happen.

Confirmed by J.J. Abrams at the Paramount CinemaCon presentation on April 25, 2018, that the film is, in fact, not an entry in the Cloverfield franchise, despite initial speculations.

Operation Overlord was the code-name for the Allied operation for the Battle of Normandy, which launched the successful invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. This, alongside Operation Neptune, would become known as D-Day.
