Nah. Not angry. I just want to help preserve a good film. My belief is if they do another movie and it tanks it will seriously tarnish the original.

You people honestly think they're going to rush into Cloverfield 2? Abrams aint that kind of guy.

There will be a solid story, a solid cast, and most importantly, a solid IDEA before they start anything major on the sequel.

I'm only using Shyamalan as an example. Not the biggest fan. Loved Sixth Sense though.

OK. Here's the deal. Cloverfield. Let's just stick to fact. The movie is in itself the account of footage found in Central Park after a monster attacks the city.

If I go out and find a camera or just find a disc or a tape or a card and look at it all I'm gonna get is what's on it. I may be eager as hell to learn more. But that's all I got. Now I can get on the net and research if it's an event big enough. And that's my point. Cloverfield was meant to be like an event. It happened. We all witnessed it through the footage.

You can't just go and make more footage. You could find more, and in that case that would suck. I'm already invested in this group of people.

In an effort to use this style of filming the makers of this movie have in a way boxed themselves into the method.

It's like an 80 minute Youtube video. And when it's over it's over. That is how it was billed. Now people want to create a typical Hollywood polished and proper film. No. That would suck.

If they do this right...IMHO the word's Clover nor Field should be in the "sequel's" title.
May make it easier on the folks against a sequel here.


It also seems that a lot of people here are giving the impression that the entire world/USA was destroyed by the monster. So I do not get how they've boxed themselves into a sequel that can only be done with the same film style. Just NYC, or parts of it was demolished by this monster. I think if the sequel has the potential to be another great film, even in the 3rd person pov. The monster: Where did it go from there? How much time goes by from the end of that fateful tape to the time of a sequel? Who cares what happens inbetween...that's for a hopefully future ARG. If the right location, the right cast, and the right vision and effort is put forth....the next movie, whatever it may be called....will be a good one.(unless they change the monster drastically or something, etc.)

There are a whole lot of possibilities for a sequel as long as it's pure in intent, original in content and JJ oversees the entire project and not to be pushed onto another person like say Shyamalan.

Well the problem with that though is that there's no money with an online sequel / ARG format. The idea has always been to give the US their own Godzilla. Something that kids would buy at a store and adults would buy at sci-fi conventions.

So a movie sequel is all but inevitable. Trust me, I know where you're coming from. I have always said that they should have left Matrix at the first movie.

I think they should do a sequel from the monster's POV. Talk about originality!
