Cloverfield 2 not a big priority for JJ.
I'm really starting to hate this guy.

Fuck! I'm starting to hate JJ. Why start new viral marketing just to pussyfoot and change your mind?

This is new information, strong enough to be worthy of it's own thread. The other thread it was posted in was for another article and was at least supposedly trout itself (even though it was never properly referenced as a trout).

All I can say is JJ obviously doesn't have the focus to do a proper franchise, which would probably explain the random thing that is Lost. Were it not such a raging success and so vague as to be completely at his whim, I suspect he would've dropped it long ago.

Oh well, he had a great idea in Cloverfield. Maybe someone else will take over and grow it to what it could be. I just hope it doesn't get raped, and end up like another franchise or 15.

I know JJ he has to do what he loves and everything, but I don't believe that dropping a possible Cloverfield franchise is such a good idea. He's got a goldmine staring him in the face and the would just... quit??? I don't get it.

Maybe this is all just part of a giant smoke screen. Maybe we'll see another Cloverfield movie in the (hopefully near) future. Maybe... Oh, I don't know! Why tease us with sequel rumors if it's all going down the crapper!!! Evil or Very Mad

Why would he? Because he's JJ Abrams, sure of himself as the hottest creator in Hollywood right now, and thus he feels God-like. The mighty do fall, and this is often how they would do it.

And you don't get it? You aren't supposed to. This is the Cloverfield viral, it's sole purpose in the end seems to be to drive the fans batshit insane. Since I'm already there, that's why I like it. Twisted Evil

By his own words he wants to give the U.S its own monster akin to Godzilla with one movie featuring said monster? By God we are a lazy nation! Laughing

Man, screw that. The idea of waiting for JJ to stop being successful, and then 10 years down the road when hes all coked out n broke, decides to make another Cloverfield out of Desperation for more income. I Refuse to be JJ Abrams' Comeback, lol.

At any rate though, i still think that the viral picking back up is all pre-emptive for the Video Game, which i think will be giving us all the shit that weve been dying to find out. The possibilities are endless with where JJ and Co. could take a Video Game. I've said it in a different thread too, He could use pretty much every element of both the movie and the viral to just decimate the gaming market with a rediculously long, involved, detailed video game. Play as Teddy, Rob, Clovey, Ganu, Scientists, TIDO members, TAG members, The Government, a Parasite, Kishin, FREAKIN BETH FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!! Dude, my head just exploded. If JJ aint makin a sequel then he better damn well do us right by making a video game worthy of all the fanatics sitting here waiting for his next god damn move.

O, n BTW, for all of you who were still wondering as to whether or not the ROAR is still on 1-18-08, it is. I was just on the site, and i went to look at the pics again, then i decided to post something, and there it was. Almost made me crap myself. No matter how many times that happens, it scares the shit out of me every damn time,lol.


OK. Im editing this post, because i just read that BD article with JJ saying that hes not too interested in making a sequel, he wants to do something new, and then it hit me. When you think about Godzilla, and all the fucking movies they have made about him, Is ANY of those movies a sequel from any previous Godzilla movie? NO. Now, ill admit, the concept for each movie is relatively the same, but no, not a sequel. Now, take what JJ said, and interpret it however you like, but just picture this: Another entirely NEW Cloverfield movie. New Storyline, New Setting, Country, Maybe even enemies...There are alot of different directions they could take that. In that blurb, JJ didnt say that he didnt wanna do another Cloverfield movie, he said he wasnt really excited about doing a follow up. they wanna do something NEW. Hell, maybe theyll even finally give him a name for christs sake!! (I still like O.B.U.M - One Big Ugly Motherfucker, which is allegedly what the military named him after the incident. I cant remember where i heard it, but i did damnit. Im not makin it up Razz) N sorry for the Dub-Post Eucher, my bad brothaman Very Happy

If JJ kills the Cloverfield sequel I will boycott everything that jackass is involved with...including Star Trek and his X-Files rip-off TV series.

Well, how do we know he's sure of himself or feels "God-like"?

Just because the sequel isn't his top priority doesn't mean he doesn't want to do it. If they don't have a good story yet, what's the point? Don't we want a decent follow up? There's no rush.

IGN interviewed JJ also. This is what he said about the Cloverfield sequel:
http://movies.ign.com/articles/874/874629p1.html


Quote:
Q: Any movement on a Cloverfield sequel?

ABRAMS: We're talking about it, but the truth is there's another idea that I'd rather do with the same people than do a sequel. It was a whole new thing.

Q: You mean do a different project with Drew [Goddard] and Matt [Reeves]?

ABRAMS: Drew and Matt, yeah. So my dream is to work with them again, but do something that's… Having said that, Drew and Matt both separately have really good ideas for what it [the sequel] could be, so I don't know, we'll see. I know the studio wants it, but who knows…
