Sequels/Prequels - It's GONNA happen

[raynexeo]

I'm all for a sequel/prequel because I want more. Theres just one condition, it ermm doesn't suck!

[Magus00]

I totally agree there will be a sequel.
In addition to what you mentioned; Lilys ALSO still alive.

[cowboyfromhell]

I'm hopin for prequel with Tagruato,Ganu,Slusho!,Chuai station,T.I.D.O.,MGP's origins...I WANT TO SEE THAT!

I hope they make a sequel, but we have to keep in mind that interviews with some of the cast members is moot, since they are

[raynexeo]

But is Lily the only survivor? Do we know for a fact that Rob and Beth are dead? I guess its a safe bet to assume so but they could survive that if the bridge fell right. Also is it significant that its Robs voice at the end of the credits sayings "it's still alive"?

Could "help us" or "it's still alive" possibly be lines from the sequel?

No Eurche is right Matt recorded it. theres a big difference in "He recorded it" and "He had someone record it".

He even said himself that there was something at the end for us to catch.

By no means do I think that this came from Rob. There is nothing that points at him saying this at all.

But thats an whole different thread in itself.

Yes there is a sequel coming. No doubt. Any sane producer would realize how much cash this movie is raking in and by all means would be jumping to make another.

Money makes the world go round people.

The way Matt Reeves responds to the question about the whisper indicates that this was one of the very last things done in post-production before distribution - that it was done quickly in order to meet the release deadline. The idea behind this would be that Paramount receives early projections as to how well the movie would do in box office sales - If projections indicated the move would lose money a sequel would not be authorized and the project would die or be otherwise funded independently; but instead because the viral marketing fueled interest in the movie and showed favorable profits a sequel would be authorized. Because of Reeves and Abrams' interest in creating a Godzilla-like franchise for the monster they likely had a prearrangement with Paramount to authorize a sequel at this point, which gave just enough time to add simple and ambiguous hints of that in post-production. Simple because they don't have the time to add footage of draft up a lot of graphics to embed in the movie, ambiguous just in case the movie flops and Paramount nulls a sequel.

The two most important things we've forgotten are that Abrams and Reeves want to make MGP into the American Godzilla, which requires us first to get a really good look at the monster so we know what the toy will look like when we go to buy it; and to have a really worthwhile monster movie franchise you have to introduce more monsters at some point in time - if MGP is a baby, there's bound to be a mommy, and possibly a daddy if we exclude parthenogenesis, and maybe more for a viable surviving species, and from the looks of things the military has boxed up parasites for future study.

But from what we've been given, I would say that a sequel was already green-lighted.

My thinking is that if Abrams wants this to become a franchise monster then NO there will not be a sequel. There will without a doubt be another movie with the same "cloverfield" monster in it. A sequel I doubt it.

Also, as far as who survived: Rob's brother??????
No confirmation about him cept....
