FINALLY, the US has a great monster movie, so it's almost a given that a Cloverfield 2 is a must!!

But what direction should the movie head in...


EDIT...January 21, 2008

Max Evry of Comingsoon.net interviews Director Matt Reeves. Here are his comments about a possible sequel and the monter's origin:

CS: Any possibilities for a "Cloverfield" sequel?
Reeves: This was so fun 'cause we'd never done anything like it, and I think we'd want to find a similar challenge, to find a way to have its roots in this but be fresh and new, otherwise you're just repeating yourself. 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. That idea sort of tickled me. We'll have to see if anyone would want a sequel. If the movie does well and we find a compelling reason to do so then it would be fun to do a sequel.

Did you see the thing in the last shot? In the final shot there's a little something, and I don't wanna say what it is. The final shot before the titles. The stuff at Coney Island, there's a little something there and I don't want to give it away 'cause the fun is sort of to find it, but I will say this: there's a funny thing, you look at the shot and until you see it you don't see it and you really don't see it and obviously you don't 'cause none of you have seen it, but once you see it you'll never stop seeing it.

CS: It's the thing dropping in the water, right?
Reeves: Ahh, you saw it.

It's never too early to start a topic like this...

I really hope this movie is great. I'm not even looking at it as a Cloverfield sequel. I want it to be good just on the fact that Dan Trachtenberg and Damien Chazelle worked on it.

 

[The Apocalypse]

The thing dropping into the water was a satellite. It was an Easter egg for those who followed the ARG.

 

[Supernova]

I have a feeling we wont see anything meaningful til the last 10 minutes

 

[Nardz937]

I'm listening to todays Howard Stern show right now and Howard said he's watched the movie and it's absolutely amazing,claims he's watched it twice already.

 

[terry78]

The Abramsverse has become a thing for me now, so I'll be checking it out on principle.

I think the movie may be good but...

Director said it has nothing to do with cloverfield. Not in same universe or timeline.

FML..

That's extremely weird to say it's in the "clover-verse" then

Reviews are finally coming in...(spoilers obviously).

Pics from the NY premiere:

 

[redhawk23]

Director Dan Trachtenberg did a reddit AMA, admits that the film has very little to do with Cloverfield outside of tone. The Cloverfield name is just a way for Bad Robot to market it and was not a decision he made.

 

[pixen]

I'm seeing this tonight... I can let you know if it's any good.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, do that.

 

[Steyin]

From a spoiler review I read this has nothing to do with Cloverfield but instead [BLACKOUT]aliens (think Signs, last 10-15 minutes of the film)[/BLACKOUT]. Don't know how legit that was though.

 

[Matt]

Reviews are indicating that [blackout]there is basically zero connection to the original movie[/blackout].

 

[AnneFan]

I'm hoping to see this on the weekend. I've just seen the trailers and know nothing else. Looks interesting and exciting to me.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Lawd, MEW looking stunning in that dress.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

MEW looks gorgeous, and Goodman is looking good man.

 

[pixen]

Just got out of seeing it. It was a pretty good movie. John Goodman was great throughout the full thing. [BLACKOUT]It really has nothing to do with the original Cloverfield. [/BLACKOUT] if you have any questions, ask away!

 

[Brother Jack]

Spoiler

If it has nothing to do with the original why does it have Cloverfield in the title? Is there a giant monster in it?

 

[Sithborg]

Marketing.

Spoiler

Well it had a giant alien/alien ship at the end but nothing that resembled what we saw in Cloverfield, monster wise. As for why they called t that title... I guess it was just to help get a few more viewers. It was a entertaining and thrilling movie though. Just made me long for an actual sequel to Cloverfield.

 

[IncognitoWalrus]

I just got back from a screening too! It really has no connection to the first movie, though I think Cloverfield could work as the title of an anthology series if they go forward with it.

The cast was great, and I was thoroughly impressed by Goodman and Winstead.

Spoiler

I feel like the last 10 minutes are kind of underwhelming, even though they're set up by the preceding 90. Kind of inevitable when the bunker stuff is far scarier, I guess.
