I heard a couple months ago that a Cloverfield sequel had been put on the backburner. With the recent release of the DVD, talk of a Cloverfield sequel has begun to reappear. Producer JJ Abrams tells G4’s Attack of the Show that they have a good idea:
“There is a couple ideas that Drew Goddard , the writer, and Matt Reeves have that are pretty fantastic. So we’re playing around with some ideas and obviously if it isn’t something that really excited us and inspires us, we won’t do it. But there are some good ideas out there.”
When asked if the second film would be shot using the first person video camera style employed by the first film, Abrams replied:
“It could. I think it’s a valid style,” Abrams continued. “I think as a gimmick, people have already seen it, so if you’re going to do it, you have to do something unique with it.”
Abrams also confirms that there is absolutely no connection between LOST and Cloverfield, as he called the use of the Dharma logo a wink to his friends working on the popular sci-fi television series. You can watch the full interview with JJ Abrams below.

Well I just watched Cloverfield last night on DVD. In the special features they kept mentioning the monster was a baby so that always leaves the door open.

I was told that in the sequel the monster grows to be Lindsay Lohan’s vagina.
Snail trails for months all over NYC!

SPOILER ALERT:
NOBODY CARES ABOUT CLOVERFIELD ANYMOE

I’m always adamant about main characters returning in sequels, but I dunno if those 2 live in the end. It’d be nice, but maybe not kosher. A sequel w/o the gang could explore the monsters origins, but anything else would just be the same thing from a diff p.o.v., right?

@ Larry Leonardo
I am sick of your rude posts on this site. Just because you didnt like the movie doesnt mean NOBODY CARES. I hope you fall in a pit and rot and die and rot some more, or get raped by a black

yea that is one of his ideas about the sequel. i read on comingsoon.net that during Cloverfield, u briefly see a man on the bridge filming something. HUD turns to see what it was and films it a little bit (its the burning oil tanker) and when hud unzooms and turns away, you can see that same guy only now he is filming Hud. he said that to him “that is two stories intersecting right there.” it could be pretty awesome to see someone elses point of view on it. maybe the guy could be there to film the creature emerge from the water and tear off the Statue of Liberty’s head. and maybe at the end he could be in central park, or near it to see the bombing happen and the creature (supposedly) die. but then again so would the character with the camera….

I really hope they make Cloverfield 2 soon. Cloverfield was the most fun I’ve ever had at the movies and the build-up to its release was the most exciting ever. I’ve read rumours on fansites that it was going to be released in the summer of 2008 but that is not likely now since apparently Matt Reeves is first going to make the movie he was going to make before when JJ pulled him on the cloverfield bandwagon. But whatever they do, whenever they do I hope it suprises us.

Oh and btw the studio might have been a bit apprehensive about the sequel after the boxoffice dropoff in the second week but after solid international gross and if the dvd sells well there is no doubt that they will want a sequel.

Why? Why does it need a sequel? Why can’t people just enjoy a good one off these days.
DO NOT WANT!

i’d love to see a film that pulls from everything that went on in the viral marketting. It would also be pretty cool to see a different POV or to see a different city get ripped up.
How long would it take that monster to tromp all the way to Chicago?

read Tyler G. comment :
he is right the bridge scene with the two POV’s
but then if you notice there is someone else filming behind the head of the statue of liberty (when it falls out of the sky)
it seems like the same person that would be cool if it were that perspective to intersect the movies twice rather than once
