Matt Reeves gave the following Cloverfield update to to the good people over at Collider, and the word is wait.
While talk of a sequel has been all over cyberspace since the movie first came out, based on what he said last night…I think it’s safe to assume it isn’t happening. Of course, he did say if they came up with a great idea he’d do it, but he’s moving forward with his next project “The Invisible Woman,” so I think “Cloverfield 2” will be left alone. And I think it’s for the best.
You can see the interview footage at Collider, and I recommend checking it out.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Cloverfield and I certainly don’t think it warrants a sequel, so I consider this to be very good news. In an age of sequel overload, I welcome a one shot with open arms. Matt Reeves seems to be a total dude, with the sense to know when to quit. He only seems interested in doing another Cloverfield project if the story is up to snuff, and I respect him for that.
Cloverfield 2 isn’t dead, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it never gets made after seeing the interview video.
