There May Not Be A Cloverfield 2

Cloverfield was a weird movie to me. The first time I saw it I actually quite liked it. But then the second time I saw it, I ended up not liking it at all. All the flaws of the film stood out more to me the second time around… but I’ve written about that 10 times in recent months.

Still, the movie may not have been a huge blockbuster at the box office, but it more than made a tidy little profit for the studios, and so there was quickly talk about Cloverfield 2… an idea I never liked, but you could totally understand why they’d do it considering how cheap it was to make the original and how much money it made.

Now word is coming out that JJ Abrams may not want a second Cloverfiled film after all. The good folks over at ComingSoon give us this:

J.J. Abrams, who said that the Cloverfield team might want to do another project instead of a sequel. “We’re talking about it,” he said, “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.”

Personally I don’t see the need or even upside of doing another Cloverfield movie. The gimmick is now done, the story has been told, and to do another one would basically just be a rehashing of the first just from different camera angles. JJ is wise to consider just moving on.
