Shadow in the Cloud Opinion
How do you grab my attention? Cast Chloë Grace Moretz as the heroine in an epic wartime flick where she's not only battling the enemy (and her male allies), but also a terrifying supernatural gremlin. I'm guessing this grabbed your attention as well.
Before last week, Director/Writer Roseanne Liang's Shadow in the Cloud wasn't on my radar. Honestly, because of COVID-19 and the shutdown of Hollywood, not much has peaked my interest. Liang's movie made its premiere on the festival circuit to much acclaim, but its success was overshadowed by the fact Max Landis shares a writing credit on the film. Liang and Moretz have made clear Shadow in the Cloud is very much their film and Landis' involvement amounts to a formality.
Overlook that fact and experience the trailer for yourself. Moretz is no stranger to action films, so she fits in well here. And while she might be fighting a gremlin in the trailer's biggest moments, you can tell she's up against much more in a crew that clearly doesn't want her there...you know...because she's a woman and all.
I'm watching the movie over the holiday and will share a review soon. You can catch the film on premium streaming this January 1, 2021.

In the throes of World War II, Captain Maude Garrett (CHLOË GRACE MORETZ) joins the all-male crew of a B-17 bomber with a top-secret package. Caught off guard by the presence of a woman on a military flight, the crew tests Maude's every move.

Trapped between an oncoming air ambush and an evil lurking within, Maude must push beyond her limits to save the hapless crew and protect her mysterious cargo.
