JJ Abrams talks Cloverfield 2 And other stuff.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmu1RpPVw6Q
By observing i think JJ and Co. are going away from the handheld idea.
He also said that Drew Goddard and Matt Reeves have "cooked something up" already.
He even said that there could be another monster or a "way in" on that possiblity in the sequel.

he seemed like he was trying hard not to give away much of anything, he was going "Um...well..." in every sentence lol.

I kinda like the idea that a sequel might not be handheld.
Abrams was really hinting (intentionally or unintentionally) that handheld was getting old.
Let's go...$100+m budget...fully loaded movie!

he totally eluded to three things...
1) another monster (or a diff. version?)
2) they already have a premise
3) won't be handheld

It's probably too much to ask for, but can somebody do a transcript, or at least put up some direct quotes (the speaker on this computer sucks ass) both about Cloverfield and The Dark Tower? Thanks.

First talked about Star Trek and how the studio moved up the date of the premier.
Moved on to Cloverfield…
Reelz: And obviously, such great success with Cloverfield.
JJ: Oh, thanks!
R: So much so, that you're already saying Let's do another one!
JJ: Uhh… there's an idea… uhh… that has come up.. uhh.. we're exploring. So, we'll see if it's… uhh… if it's worth doing, then hopefully we'll… uh… get a chance to do it.
R: And do you like that idea of the whole handheld and the whole camera difference?
JJ: Yeah…uh… yeah… I think to some degree, I think it can be a good thing. I think there are a lot of movies that… you know… seem to be doing that and so I think… I think that… Ya know… no gimmick is good once it's been done again and again and again so I feel like… umm.. ya know… I loved it when I saw it in "Blair Witch" and thought… how cool to sorta take that idea and… uh… kind of do a monster movie through that kind of prism. But… ya know… at a… at a certain point… uhh… it's the kind of thing… it probably wears out its welcome… uhh… ya know… for some people, probably while watching the movie (laughs). Ya know what I'm saying?? So…
R: Well, you'll just have to think of another monster I think.
JJ: another monster… uhh… yeah… another… another interesting way in. But we have some cool ideas and Drew Goddard, the writer, and Matt Reeves, the director, have sorta cooked something up so we're… uhhh… ya know… hopefully… that… that will get a chance to happen.
Went on to talk about Dark Towers. No details about that. She just mentioned it and he said it's in the very early stages and just collaborating with King and another guy.
That's it!

Now I'm excited for Cloverfield 2. Clover all grown up, perhaps.

I hope that they have some of the original cast (that survived).

or they could pull an Alien 4 and resurect all of the original cast, and have some big "twist" like they happened to be combined with some MGP DNA, and now have some attributes of him, like being able to say rawr.

Perhaps Cloverfield 2 will have a grown up version of the monster. Neville Page would be the guy to do it.
