Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
There has been a lot of talk going around about possible (and inevitable) sequel to the blockbuster phenomenom Cloverfield. Well, it happened..... Variety has confirmed it and here is what they had to say.....
Matt Reeves is in early talks with Paramount to direct a "Cloverfield" sequel, and he has also made a deal with GreeneStreet Films to direct "The Invisible Woman." Timing of the projects will depend on how quickly Paramount can complete discussions with Reeves, producer J.J. Abrams and scribe Drew Goddard to scare up another monster tale for the "Cloverfield" sequel. There's a good chance the sequel will be Reeves' next film, in which case he will direct "The Invisible Woman" afterward. "Woman" is a Hitchcock-style thriller that probes the mind of a former beauty queen who turns to a life of crime to protect her family. Reeves wrote the script and will produce with Abrams and GreeneStreet's John Penotti, Fisher Stevens and Tim Williams. "Matt has created a truly original and compelling character and story," said GreeneStreet's Penotti. GreeneStreet will finance "The Invisible Woman," and GreeneStreet Intl. will sell overseas territories. With a $25 million budget, a strong concept and cast of unknowns, "Cloverfield" scored a $46 million opening frame, which was a record for a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Paramount gave away almost no first-dollar gross, making the film a bargain for the studio. |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
What does your super secret decoder ring tell you about plot direction for the Cloverfield 2 good sir? I'm hoping a bit less shaky cam but that's just me I'm sure.

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I hope that it isn't a sequel like another monster attacking NY. It would probably work out best if it was either a completely separate location with a similar monster, or if it was NY being attacked by the same monster at the same time, but taken by a different person, either done professionally or unprofessionally (ie. shaky cam or no) so that it starts to fill in some of the missing details. It doesn't have to fill in all, just some because that way it will keep people interested moreso.

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
Prediction:
Box office take will be roughly half of the first one. I personally like the idea of not knowing what it (it being the monster) is, why it is etc. A sequel can do nothing but give that type of information. I liked the first one a lot. I don't care about the sequel at all. |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I heard for the sequel they wanted to make it on the same night just from another person's camera. Which sounds pretty dumb to me. I really don't see a sequel here at all - unless it's a complete departure from the characters point of view camera idea.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I doubt they will go shaky cam considering the second week drop was so gigantic.

25 million budget and it's made 66 million so far already - then the DVD will go on to sell a ton. |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
you think they should do the part 2?
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I haven't seen the Cloverfield but planning to watch it by next week. They just need to make sure that its not a crop sequel just like other films.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I haven't even seen the first one yet :eek:
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I enjoyed the first but I no a sequel is going to happen but I think it will work better in the wrong one if left alone. All the possible directions the sequel could go just don't sound very good. This was a monster movie done a little differently and seeing the same thing again is just pointless.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
Idea for a possible sequel: incorporating something of a conspiracy-theory documentary (like Loose Change for example) in it. Something like students trying to find out what actually happened, what the monster is, and then have things develop from there. It'd tie in with the whole modern-media thing that was part of the 1st movie. Also, it would not have to give any conclusiveness to the monster, plenty of room for ambiguity and conjecture (like Loose Change ;)). The material for it is out there already as well with all the viral websites.
Just conjuring this up from the top of my head though, might very well be a bad idea :P |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I hope they include more insight and tie ins to the viral marketting, and take a different direction altogether with the monster only being part of the film's context, not focus.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
It's most likely that the sequel will be the same attact but from a different camera. Either the military cams or another person (you see another person filming on the bridge scene). I just hope that they leave that gay viral marketing out of it. If they try to explain where the monster came from it will kill the movie.

I disagree about the "trying" part, however, if they do explain it totally it ruins much. I think it would be cool to see different theories, but never letting the viewer which one...that would be cool. |

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I'd love to see a sequel. The first brought mystery back to the cinemas. I'd also love to know some more stuff about the backstory and such.

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I dont see how they could improve on the first cloverfield or how they could make it as orgianal as the first one, which orgianality was one of the biggest parts of the first one. Personaly i look foward to what they come up with.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
Though, how are they going to make this possible? Cloverfield 2 is now officialy an upcoming movie. For an action flick, it seems like Cloverfield resembles Independence Day alot. Hopefully this wont be the plot for the movie. Because that would ruin it big time.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
Im interested. And I have questions I think they could answer in the sequel. Oh, you know, things like:
WARNING: "cloverfield 1 info" spoilers below
1. Why did Marlena's body seem to rip itself apart in the tent where they took here when they discovered she'd been bitten? What's THAT about? Contact means death? So Aliens, if you ask me.
2. How come the government seems to know so much about this "sudden" attack? I get emergency response, but baby, they seemed prepped and ready to go, with doctors, lockdown and segregation of infectees all too soon to my taste. 3. Dont you feel this all a little too "September 11th" for your tastes? I mean, I was in South Jersey at the time and I remember the extreme paranoia and fear. You were there, or you saw the video. Tell me its not similar, down to them hiding in the merchants store while a "dark cloud" descended over everything. Complete with men and women walking dazed down the street covered in ash and covering their mouths. The only departure seemed to be when the horror continued. I say they pick up with the dude who supposedly died on the bridge (only we discover he didnt) and follow his fight for survival. Or not. It really doesnt matter, I'll watch it anyway. :D JJ Abrams is good. |

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
cool poster i quite like that but i think i agree with alot of people and again just leave it be as the first film was not a bad film as things go
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
sorry I forgot to mention I didn't think it was real I just thought it looked quite cool

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I was wondering about the sequel, as everyone who knows in the film they go running with most of the city over a bridge. Did anyone see the other guy with a video camera? he basically stopped and looked straight at the guy filming in cloverfield 1. So I was thinking would the sequel have anything to do with this guy, it could show how they came to be in the same situation maybe?
That is just a theory me and my m8s have come up with, but really another god dam sequel, thats all its going to be a sequel to this a sequel to that, or they are going to bring some guy who died back to life to make even more sequels. Bugger it lets bring back darth vader and let him go back in time to 1969 so he can assinate the queen of england then he can get prince charles to join the dark side, what a brilliant idea that would be...................NOT |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
Um....anyone remember The Blair Witch Project and its sequel????
The first movie was interesting and new and succeeded....the second one, um...... So no sequel please, don't throw the Cloverfield name in the dirt and stomp on it....PLEASE! |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
god i hated cloverfield. not just the cam but the unrealistic storyline. how does a camera survive dropping hundreds of feet in a helicopter crash? just annoying stuff.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
If NYC can be attacked by an alien destroying the city, I wouldn't worry about the camera surviving.

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
The previous post there is what we call a "cool burn"
It stings a little but one realises that it's aim is to soothe and teach. But then you read it again . . .and again . .in your head all you can see is the burner licking his finger and making sizzling sound effects . .it's eNough to drive you MAD as you HURL your keyboard aside and proceed to light your monitor on fire,burning your clothes till you lie naked,weeping in a pool of your own urine, crying out to the heavens "WHY!WHY DIDN'T I THINK BEFORE I POSTED FOR THE 4TH TIME!" Or . . .y'know . . . I hope those stuffed suits don't molest another good movie with a substandard film or whatever . . . |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
The more I think about this im slowly changing my mind about it, I think I am not looking forward to it as much as I did the first.

We could see his origin and how he came to the destruction of an entire city. Now of course we could still have plenty of sound effects and a musical score and there's certainly plenty of side trips we could take to keep the inevitable people storyline in there as well. But I think that would be cool. :)

The camera issue for one. But Ilike monster movies so much, I'll try to overlook it. 1950s sci-fi movies are really fake, but I accept it with no problem. I'm still looking forward to the new film. |
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
I loved the first one, hope this pays up..

Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!

|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!
Yeah, Super 8 is something else entirely. And that poster is 120% a fan creation.
|
Re: Cloverfield 2 On The Way!

Cloverfield Sequel In The Works According to JJ Abrams The latest update reported on the proposed sequel to 2008's Cloverfield happens to be from this past March 2nd of 2009. Courtesy of Bloody Disgusting (Via Cloverfield News). JJ Abrams ran a panel at Wondercon to discuss his latest hit television show Fringe and while on the panel he was asked about the Cloverfield sequel and what’s going on with that. Below is his response:
“We’re actually working on an idea right now,” Abrams told the packed crowd. “The key obviously at doing any kind of sequel, certainly this film included, is that it better not be a business decision. If you’re going to do something, it should be because you’re really inspired to do it. It doesn’t really have to mean anything, doesn’t mean it will work, but it means we did it because we cared, not because we thought we could get the bucks. We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we’re playing with, which means there will be something that’s connected to ‘Cloverfield,’ but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet.“
Although, Collider recently ran an article and J.J. Abrams (vaguely saying the same thing) acknowledged that something is being worked on:
“We’re working on something right now with that and again, you know its early stages.”
