J.J. Abrams on the Future of Cloverfield

February 28, 2009
At the Star Trek panel at WonderCon, director J.J. Abrams was asked about the progress on making sequel to their monster hit (ha ha) Cloverfield, which opened last year to set a couple of box office records.
"We're actually working on an idea right now," Abrams told the packed crowd. "The key obviously at doing any kind of sequel, certainly this film included, is that it better not be a business decision. If you're going to do something, it should be because you're really inspired to do it. It doesn't really have to mean anything, doesn't mean it will work, but it means we did it because we cared, not because we thought we could get the bucks. We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we're playing with, which means there will be something that's connected to 'Cloverfield,' but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet."

In the words of Dr. Ellie Sattler:
"Mr. Hammond, it looks like we're back in business..."
I wouldn't expect any clues or anything until Star Trek... I'm sure the preparation has begun. This is AWESOME!!

Think they've had this "sweet idea" in mind all along, and they've just been messing with us, stringing us along until they're planning on giving us something real (maybe, hopefully, at the release of Star Trek)?

I sense this may have injected new life to this board.

Someone should've asked when this "soon" will be
Let it be soon.

I have to agree with you, Chrizzy. They've been going back and forth with this, dangling the carrot above our noses for a while. I think it is a ploy to get us all giddy at the mere mention of a possibility of a sequel.
Well, it's working! Bring it on!

I thought Cloverfield was meant to be the American Godzilla thus I kinda always expected sequels. Just not sure how since the nuke at the end of the first movie gave it a pretty definite ending.
