 		Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves Talks Sequel Dilemma
Cloverfield sequel
Ever since "Cloverfield" came out, it's been taken as a fait accompli that a sequel would be greenlit. So where is it? Catching up with director Matt Reeves, the helmer admits to MTV News in an interview that "the studio of course wants it to happen," but wanting something to happen and coming up with the right idea are two very different things.

Reeves says that talks have been frequent if sporadic over the last nine months. "At times it's gone dormant and then its come back up again," Reeves says of the brainstorming over a sequel.

"There are a couple ideas that have potential but we haven't quite cracked it yet," says Reeves who is juggling his orginal screenplay, "The Invisible Woman" and his remake of "Let the Right One In" among his future projects. Trying to pin down just what those "Cloverfield" sequel ideas are though is easier said than done. One thought was to return to the source of the inspiration for the film. "When we were in Japan we thought, wouldn't it be cool to do it here," he said.

One things seems certain. Don't expect a traditional sequel picking up right after the first with the same (still living) characters. Rather the filmmakers behind the hit film have discussed a sequel that "wasn't necessarily right after that night but had intersections with the original."

Then there's the possibility that Reeves might not direct the sequel at all. Muck like Danny Boyle did for "28 Weeks Later," Reeves said "There was the thought that maybe we'd bring in some young exciting people and we'd produce their take."

"I don't know at this point," Reeves said. "I think if we find something that would be incredibly fun to make and that we would want to watch then that's what would push it over the top. It's a weird puzzle."

 		i like the idea of bringing someone else in, but, i fear Blair Witch 2 results.
Use the viral, retell the night through a different medium.

 		Same Story, New People...
I'm still pushing for them to retell the night through different people. Like his other friends from the party that didn't make the rest of the movie. I am talking about Antonio, Jenn (Blake Lively), and especially Charlie (Brian Klugman aka $11 Guy). Seemed like these people were supposed to have featured roles, but got cut out.

I'd like to see their story, but told through a normal movie format. No need for a HUD style job on this one. Been there, done that.

Don't wanna see them go back to Japan either...JJ said this was supposed to be our Monster, our Godzilla. Dont bring it back to them.

 		I think one important question If I had the chance to speak with Mr. Reeves or JJ would be if a scripting of the second movie was to be done, how much of the viral story would be included? Are they comfortable with the story itself as they didn't write it. It would appear they are into it, as they did include the infamous "satellite" at the end (still debated, I know!) but I think 99% of us Cloverfield fans accept the object was the Tagruato satellite.

 		I just want them to tease us with something. Honestly, I don't know what they'll come up with -- whether it actually gets the ARG back up and running is up to them. But the fact that they're still in this brain-storming phase makes me think that a teaser trailer, for instance, won't be shown until sometime after the first quarter of 2009. JJ Abrams is already busy with Fringe and Star Trek so we won't see anything for a while, I'm guessing. And by a while, I mean a long time, lol.

Actually.. it was a Japanese government satelite. The Tagruato satelite was supposed to find it.
