Cloverfield made plenty of “Top 10 Films of 2008” lists. It was great film, were the “monster attacks” genre got an updated. Since it came out, fans embraced the mystery and mayhem that was Cloverfield. Everywhere Matt Reeves and J.J. Abrams stand, questions about a sequel are made. Here’s director Reeves talking about the possibility that is Cloverfield 2.
Reeves said, “It really isn’t the moment for [the sequel] to go any further than it has, but it continues to be a priority for both of us.” He added, “J.J. is very immersed in putting together Super 8. He’s … in pre-production and really, really passionately getting that together. And I’m passionately finishing Let Me In.”
I totally enjoyed the first one. It made my Top 10 list also. It was an exciting, modern take on the monster genre. It was really well done with a modest, small budget. They managed to make a really splendid viral campaign, and most importantly, maintain the mystery of what the hell was Cloverfield about, until it opened. I’d definitely watch a sequel or prequel of sorts. I want to know more about the origin of the monster. I hope this gets made along the way.
Do you want them to make a Cloverfield 2? Would you go watch this? Prequel or Sequel? Have you tasted Slusho!?
