Matt Reeves,who has finally got his big break for his first successful directorial effort with ‘Cloverfield’; is in early talks to with Paramount to direct the sequel to the smash ‘monster’ hit.
Comingsoon.net gives us these details:
Variety says the timing of the projects will depend on how quickly Paramount can complete discussions with Reeves, producer J.J. Abrams and writer Drew Goddard to come up with another monster story for the Cloverfield sequel. There’s a good chance the sequel will be Reeves’ next film, in which case he will direct The Invisible Woman afterward.
Really, is anybody surprised about this news? After it’s successful opening and critical praise, there was no doubt in mind there was going to be a sequel to this film. Even the end of the movie hints at it with an unknown object falling into the ocean. (Finally saw that the second time around.) Do I think a sequel is absolutely necessary? Nope. I think the novelty of what made the first film so different and interesting will definitely wear off before the sequel is even in production. If they avoid another hand held version, then I might be intrigued. Actually, I’m more interested in ‘The Invisible Woman’ more than seeing a sequel to a movie to could potentially ruin the feel of the first film. What are your thoughts?
