Cloverfield 2
6/27/08 - Matt Reeves, who directed the monster thriller Cloverfield, said recently that plans for a sequel film have been put on hold until the filmmakers can come up with an idea as interesting as the original.  Reeves said, "We're still kind of toying with what it's going to be and whether or not we're going to find something that will be as exciting for us to make and, hopefully, for an audience to watch. So we'll see. It's really in the baby, baby stages. And right now it's definitely on hold until we come up with what that would be."  Press reports have suggested that some of the ideas for the next film include a prequel that would go into the backstory of the creature that attacks New York in the original or a parallel story set on the same night with different characters. Reeves said that both of those ideas have been under discussion.

 

05/19/08 - J.J. Abrams, co-producer of the hit monster film Cloverfield, said that a sequel may or may not happen and revealed that he's more inclined to do something with his Cloverfield partners, writer Drew Goddard and director Matt Reeves, other than a follow-up.  "We're talking about it," Abrams said of Cloverfield 2.  "But the truth is there's another idea that I'd rather do with the same people than do a sequel. It's a whole new thing."  Abrams added, "So my dream is to work with Goddard and Reeves again, but do something that's new. Having said that, Drew and Matt both, separately, have really good ideas for what Cloverfield 2 could be. So I don't know. We'll see. I know the studio wants it."
