Cloverfield 2: For the suckers P.T. Barnum was talking about.

[kosmopol]

Well, I'm not really like the double titles like "Indi Jones and The vorbidden Trout" or stuff.

So I'd be happy just with a name like

"Slusho"

(incl. the whole Slusho/Tagruato story)
I cannot believe, the Slusho universe was abandoned by authors after the movie start.

Come on, were you really expecting it to contain Tagruato and Slusho more than what it did? After all it's all point of view from that group which basicly has nothing to do with them (well apart from Rob's work, and I would've found it rather stupid to include it actually. I can't imagine anyone going "OH ROB! Vice president in Slusho! The famous trademark of Tagruato! You're the man!".

Though I'm sure they had a meaning with the ARE/ARG and if there's more movies following (as it seem) then it will be included all the way cause it is part of it's backstory no matter what. Don't despair nofx1978

I totally agree with the guys that say that Cloverfield would be excellent if remained as a lone movie without sequels or prequels or whatever, for us to imagine what could've happened before or after what we saw in the cinemas. But, well, you know perfectly that it won't happen. If not soon, they're going to release a new film in a future anyways.

There's gonna be another movie based on it. We just can't escape it.

Matthew Reeves is obviously aware that CHUD wrote a massive article pleading with Paramount to close any option for a sequel.

As of the moment, everyone is reaching far ahead of themselves. JJ and Matthew are only developing the film at the moment. Do you know how many films sink the bottom in the development process? Goonies 2, ring a bell for anyone?

The movie cost $25m to produce and hade made more than $120m ww so far....you do the math.

Some kind of sequel is going to be made...and all the bitching and whining by you anti-sequel teabaggers isn't going to change that.

[Chrizzy]

Is there one fuckin person out there who recognizes the fact that, WHEN a sequel is made, it may not solve much of what what left open in the first movie? In fact, for every thing it solves, it may raise one or more questions of its own. I'd like to know who the fuck said that a sequel would have to answer the questions left open from the first movie and leave no new questions of its own.

And, adding to what Some Thing said above me, the best we can ever hope to do is influence what kind of movie is made (if that, even)...there's not a virgin's chance in Amsterdam of us stopping the production of a sequel, no matter how much we bitch about it.

Anybody seen that thing where JJ talks about his secret box? He bought a box when he was a kid and he, to this day, has not opened it and seen what's inside.

Chrizzy's right.
Don't expect the next movie to sit you down and explain every aspect of the Cloverfield universe.

Maybe Cloverfield II will be a montage of footage from various home-video-ish sources - cameraphones, other witness cameras, military cameras (think the camera on top of that soldier's head) and even that helicopter scene we saw in the Chuai videos which can be a means to communicate the backstory. Technically it would be the same technique.(eh?)

[Lambo_Diablo_Svtt]

I think now that the major "surprise" of the monster is over, the sequel will most likely have a much clearer view of MGP, and at least what made it desire to attack NYC. I'm cool if it never explains MGP's origin, because how in the hell would people figure THAT out?
