 		I think I speak for many people when I say Abrams either needs to shit or get off the pot.

Either make one or don't, but quit beating around the bush, every other week I read something saying he wants to, then he doesn't know (Unless this is an attempt at some misdirection on his part to throw the fans off, but I'm not so sure).

Last July at Comic-Con, he stated he wanted America to have its own iconic monster similar to Japan's Godzilla. This can't happen with just one movie. A sequel to this movie will only work if it's done in the next year...waiting two or more years is too long.

Oh, I just realized it's been a while since my last post...how's everyone doing?

oh? i suppose i was being a little "hot-headed", but certainly wasn't trying to be a jerk.

i just don't think everyone ought discount a sequel just becos JJ might not be on board. i think everyone gets what i'm saying. i agree that he does really neat stuff, too... but, cloverfield 2 doesn't solely depend on whether or not HE wants to produce it. it'll happen regardless.

someone was trying to tell me that a "douchebag" was something that had to do with girl's hygiene? now i'm more confused Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy thank you, though.

i think my friend who helps me with some of my slang words tricks me sometimes into seeming more derogatory than i should. it's his sense of humour Very Happy

No, you are completely right. It DOES have to do with a woman's hygiene. lol It is also used to loosely represent other derogatory statements as well.

Asbolutely. Keeping in mind that JJ was a producer, not the writer or director or designer etc etc etc...his role is for advertising the movie. If he's not on board, I think there are plenty of hot shot producers who are going to see the huge success of this film and grab it. Plus, I think he's already done the hard part and got the movie to be successful so anything after is probably going to be just as successful (if not more) because people were left wondering wtf happened. Hard part's done, they got their hook and the movie made mega bucks. Everything after that (in terms of $$$) should be pretty easy.

But in terms of the sequel being a good movie, i think they've got their work cut out for them.

Don't get me wrong, i want a sequel; but i'm pretty sure that it will be full of fail if they make it.

 		man, reguardless if theyre gonna make a sequel or not, you gotta look at the standard for sequels here. Its only been 4 months since the movie came out, and people are sayin that he needs to do something about a sequel now? man, even if he DOES make a sequel, dont expect one to come out for at LEAST another year. This, as always, is my opinion, and mine only, but i really do think that we should be looking for the video game before we expect ANY type of new info on a sequel. N speakin of the Video game, the only thing to lead us to believe that theres even gonna BE a video game, is cuz Paramount bought the rights to the www.cloverfieldgame.com website, right? well- not bought the rights, so much as told The dude from 1-18-08news.com to f*ckin quit usin that website for his fanmade "Greyshot" cloverfield game, which is either scrapped altogether now, or its just takin them a REALLY long time to make progress cuz i havent seen an updated preview for the game in a while. But anyways, thats the only proof that we have of a video game right now, right?

 		Wow...so much ado over nothing.

To quote the scifi.com article that started it all:

Quote:
"But the truth is there's another idea that I'd rather do with the same people than do a sequel. It's a whole new thing."

Abrams added, "So my dream is to work with [Goddard and Reeves] again, but do something that's [new]. Having said that, Drew and Matt both, separately, have really good ideas for what [Cloverfield 2] could be. So I don't know. We'll see. I know the studio wants it."


JJ wants to do different things. As a creative person, that's his right. I understand that. However, it's absolutely AMAZING what money will do.

Indiana Jones 4. Rocky Balboa. Die Hard with a Vengeance. Need I go on?

The point is in what he said. He would prefer to do something new with the same creative team, however he never said a sequel was off the table. I think if the idea is good, the pressure from the studio will make it happen regardless. He may need to sign on for the sequel to get the studio to bankroll whatever his next dream is.

Yes it is...

You left out Rambo. You also should've used Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - that was a money grab Spielberg and Lucas were pushed into by the studio.

Indeed, basically it's a new iteration on his endeavor with Cloverfield. He had to convince them to help him make it, now they have to convince him to make a sequel by saying they'll pay for his next new venture. He's got to comply with making a sequel to appease them into giving him money for his next wild pet project. The concern is that he'll crap out something to make them happy, and we'll get a poorly executed sequel.

For that matter, the 4th Die Hard movie was Live Free or Die Hard, but I guess both technically apply.

Do you have *any* idea how long it takes to make a game, especially one being made by people who do it on their spare time and aren't funded to do so? Took me almost three freakin' years to write The Opera...

Oh yeah well there's a big difference between a good sequel and a successful sequel. I think they should make the time to make sure it's a damn good one because it's going to be succesful regardless. Might as well make it a movie that is worthwhile so they can eventually build a monster franchise and have the American Godzilla. I'd hate to see the second one fail if they really want to make this monster huge(r).
