Stealth, you are correct. about 5-8 months we'll have a big surprise. they've already filmed it, and are waiting for reviews/feedback on how to finish the second, hence what people want more of.


I was thinking the same thing after watching Cloverfield for the second time today. What we saw was the evidence footage, I think the second film would be a steady cam movie in a more traditional style. Well, I hope it would be anyway. It would be nice to see most of it from a second person perspective (not sure that is what it's called) like most other films. Maybe it will show the where MGP came from or what woke him up, more military in action, MGP in his full greatness for longer scenes, and a pinch of Tagruato.

BTW didn't they film the last 2 Matrix films the same time or release them the same year?

Edit: Oops, I guess my computer went for the triple post. My bad guys! Embarassed

Go figure, I could not post a thing the past 2 days and this happens.

i personally don't think it will be another POV movie

unless its military documentation...

like the military documenting their war against the monster.
and if this was the case, I don't think it would be from the same time as the current movie. I feel the military would have been more concerned on killing it, not having time to give documentation a thought yet.

And I do believe its still alive, still attacking the world.

The question is where next?

How about the view from Tagruato and them awakening or creating this creature and making a mess of the world.
and yeah Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions came out in the same year like 8 months apart, so it's been done before. I think this is JJ's year. He wants to take 2008 and so far it looks like he will easily.

why are people so obssessed with prequels now?

imo i think its too early for a prequel. They should make a continuation but have it uncover the answers to why and how, like movies used to do. People are too into the whole prequel thing now.

The best bet I think though is to allow the ARG to be a kind of prequel/continuation leading into the second movie.

Thank you.

Something great was created with this movie. And like so many times before going to the well one too many times ruins it.

Put me on the list, no sequel/prequel. Let this stand on it's own. Now if you want to load the DVD with extra stuff, a two disc addition, etc. I'm all for it.

But the public at large I doubt will go for another addition.

i'd still like to see a sequel Dunno

but maybe thats just because nothing in the theater is pulling my interest too much lol

but either way, their is pretty much guaranteed to be a sequel, all this story can't just lead up to "i love you" "i love you too" "i had a great day" *clue* credits *clue*

they could either make this seem like an actual case study and show it without too much time between each movie and lots of stuff to discuss and uncover on the internet which would work, or they could give it 2 years or so and bring it back again which would still work i think

the simple fact is this:

the budget was low enough for any production company to pick it up.


30 million isn't a lot and if this movie does extremely successful, then you better plan for a sequel, I doubt J.J. Abrams will do any production, maybe Matt Reeves will stick w/ it, or not... But financially- it's possible to make a sequel/prequel.

And This movie in particular should have some sort of prequel... So many gaps and questions about the back story- it would need a movie just to explain everything.

You can only do one new thing once. After you've done it once it ceases to be new.

Cloverfield was fresh, new, original and brutally artistic.

Cloverfield 2 would be like putting it into a microwave the next day trying to recapture the freshness.

true- it won't be new, it could still be better.

I loved the new movie, but there were so many other things I would have liked to see in the movie that a sequel could easily do.

More monster
More mini-monsters
A complex plot dealing w/ the monster's origin

I personally loved the handycam action and would love to see it in a sequel, but let's say it wasn't- that's a new look to it.

So the sequal probably will answer questions, but it will probably be the same attack in new york, but a different person, and a different point of veiw.

I'll see if i can get the actual website.


I could totally trout this.

I made a thread WAY back saying that a good idea for sequels would be same attack, different people.

Anyone mind searching for it? I kinda miss my old thread.

they managed to innovate monster movies (sure they drew from alot of other media, but it was still new), why can't they innovate what it means to be a sequel?

they could make something years later and have it be a faux documentary, theirs so much they could do

if thats what you wanna see in the sequel, its just gonna be totally unoriginal. i mean, we don't need a history lesson. these things they could concoct through the virals there isnt a need for a sequel just for those three reasons.
if there ever is a sequel by THE JJ Abrams, it would be something WAY WAY bigger and ORIGINAL.
But yes what you said about the handycam thing is true, its not original, but hey, what ever is nowadays? i guess original is by infusing different elements to create one whole new concept and he succeeded with Cloverfield, and i would think Cloverfield 2 could be a disappointment.
if he A) uses a different camera at the same attack, it would be like Cloverfield , just with different characters. It would seem like a way to just make a profit. If he B) does a miliary, news cast, president/political view on the attack, it jus would seem way too typical and normal for his standard.
I mean, theres someone mentioning a documentary style would be good, yes thats true. but do we really need it?? answers can be given so many ways- through virals, DVD. A bad way would be a sequel. Much worse- a prequel.

How about the Japanese point of view? Someone on Ganu's staff that has to do spin doctoring (in Japanese) and then things get completely out of control, and he/she has to help the U.S. military squish their problem.

To this day we do not know the connection between Slusho and the monster, and we deserve answers because it's been hyped so much.
