[Squarethecircle]

Going to see it on Friday. Looks great. How did you like the set piece about the spider things and the railway tunnel?

I haven't seen it yet, but I like the whole handheld video camera - home movie feel it has.

But it's been done before too, Blair Witch.

It sounds sort of like "help us", but it's backmasked -- if you play it in reverse, it actually says "It's still alive." Planning a sequel, I suppose?

"Cloverfield 2: We're gonna have to nuke it because carpet-bombing Manhattan didn't quite cut it."

yeah, they are.. .

At the premiere of the film, Matt Reeves talked about possibilities on how a sequel will turn out if the film succeeds.[58] Reeves states:
“ While we were on set making the film we talked about the possibilities and directions of how a sequel can go. The fun of this movie was that it might not have been the only movie being made that night, there might be another movie! In today’s day and age of people filming their lives on their iPhones and Handycams, uploading it to YouTube… That was kind of exciting thinking about that.[59] ”

In another interview, Reeves states:
“ There's a moment on the Brooklyn Bridge, and there was a guy filming something on the side of the bridge, and Hud sees him filming and he turns over and he sees the ship that's been capsized and sees the headless Statue of Liberty, and then he turns back and this guy's briefly filming him. In my mind that was two movies intersecting for a brief moment, and I thought there was something interesting in the idea that this incident happened and there are so many different points of view, and there are several different movies at least happening that evening and we just saw one piece of another.[26] ”

Reeves also points out that the end scene on Coney Island shows something falling into the ocean in the background.[26] Producers Bryan Burk and J.J. Abrams also announces their thoughts to Entertainment Weekly about possible sequel(s). Bryan Burk states:
“ The creative team has fleshed out an entire backstory which, if we're lucky, we might get to explore in future films.[60] ”

Also Abrams states that he doesn't want to rush into the development of the sequel right away because of the first film's success, instead he wants to create a sequel that is true to the previous film.[60]

At the end of January, Matt Reeves entered early talks with Paramount Pictures to direct a sequel to Cloverfield, which would likely be filmed before Reeves's other project, The Invisible Woman.[61] Reeves now said:
“ The idea of doing something so differently is exhilarating. We hope that it created a movie experience that is different. The thing about doing a sequel is that I think we all really feel protective of that experience. The key here will be if we can find something that is compelling enough and that is different enough for us to do, then it will probably be worth doing. Obviously it also depends on how [Cloverfield] does worldwide and all of those things too, but really, for us creatively, we just want to find something that would be another challenge.[62]

I hope they don't actually do that. That's not so much a sequel as it is the exact same thing from a different perspective. I'd like to actually see what happens after everyone dies and Manhattan gets leveled. Maybe lose the whole shaky-cam first-person perspective this time, and just make a straight-up, no-BS monster flick. Not that I disliked Cloverfield mind you, I thought it was a very exciting movie with a great concept -- but it could have been executed better. Let's hope they learn from their mistakes if/when this sequel gets made.
