Sequel On Hold
Filed under: Film Flickers
The guy who directed Cloverfield revealed that plans for a sequel have been put on hold until the filmmakers can come up with an idea as 'interesting' as the original.
Hopefully that will never happen!
They're trying to find new ways to make movie goers puke?
"The thing that we sort of promised ourselves is we only wanted to do another one if we could come up with something that felt as fresh to us to make as that one did," said the director.
So there's a good chance we may see nothing at all?
Some of the ideas for the next film include a prequel that would go into the backstory of the creature that attacks New York in the original or a parallel story set on the same night with different characters.
The Cloverfield director said that both of those ideas have been under discussion.
Would U see the sequel?



Perez, why do you post about shit no one cares about???
BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are a fat ugly bitch! that is all.
I just saw this last night….I think both would be ok ideas depending on how they did them…
No I wouldn't.
Did you know that Bush sucks & we should impeach him right away?
Thank you.
First
Hell no! I hated that movie!
perez you are a fat ugly bitch! that is all.
Yes!
No.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKE IT IN DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!
helz to the yes! I'd see that shizit.
Fuck it id see the sequal!!
I'd definitely see the sequel. This movie was awesome!! I loved it!
Cause the first one wasnt bad enough?
I barely made it 20 minutes into that movie before I had to go get my money back.
Freakin terrible, looked like it was shot by an 8 year old with a twitch
Uh hell to the no. I went and saw the first one when i was visiting my Fiance' and instead of having fun that night, he had to pump me full of dramamine, give me lots of sprite to calm my stomach, and put me into bed. I will NOT be going through that extreme amount of nausea EVER again…..
hopefully it would be better than the first. Cloverfield was nothing more than Blair Witch meets WSar of the Worlds sans crazy ass Tom Cruise.
probably not, the first one was so good, i think this one would just ruin it, unno
the movie was genious. i know he wants america to have it's own godzilla, so i guess he should make a few more, yes, but it will be really hard to top the first.
Re: asdfa –
Yes, thank you! And make it where the monster kills Dubya by ripping his head off and eating it. or something like that.
No…I didn't like Cloverfield….The whole "Shaky-Cam" made me quite nauseas && I basically watched a whole movie to see what, 2 seconds of what everyone was running from…Stupid
I loved Cloverfield. I don't particularly think there needs to be a sequel, but the fandom has been very receptive to exploring the story from another camera angle.
its so nice of perez to slag off a film that spent a shit load of money advertising on his site.
PEREZ ITS NOT THE MOVIE MAKERS' FAULT YOU HAVE MOTION SICKNESS, ITS YOUR FAULT FOR BEING SO FAT.
OH THANK GOD CLOVERFIELD WAS A PIECE OF SHIT
f no
Loved the first one. Look forward to a sequel!
TOTALLY gonna go see it, Sat front row the first time, screamed like a little girl!
DEFINITELY!!!
The original concept was awesome… God forbid something different!
… then again sequels aren't always so great.
Absolutely not. I could not sit through that movie again, or a sequel to it - even if you paid me.
The whole "Blair Witch Project" camera-jerkiness is barely tolerable in home movies. Cloverfield was a total waste of time, and I wish I could erase the bad memory of trying to watch it.
oh hellz no
yesssss and id rather see the same night diff characterss
HELL YEAHHHH !!
I saw the first one and loved it! I am so excited that they may be making another one and if they do, I will definately go see it!! Fingers are crossed!!!
they totally stole the idea for the first one from the korean film The Host which was waaaaaay better and did not give the veiwer motion sickness. They postponed this sequel to the unoriginal first film because the sequel to The Host has been announced and they are just waiting to ripoff more of their ideas!
yes - i'd see it - i though it was really interesting
Yeah, I would…the movie was fun in that cheesy monster movie kind of way…
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS i would loved it
Hell yeah I would. I liked the first movie.
What do you mean puke? Was it gross? Or just so bad that you puke?
NOoOOoOOOoOOOOoOOoOOoOOOOoOOooOOooooooooooooooOOOoOoo!!!!!
Whoever got sick or puked watching this lame movie is fucking retarded and I hope you're forced to sit through an even more horrifying sequel. Lame.
hell no.
i could have filmed the original myself and done a better job
I would definitely watch it! I loved Cloverfield! it was so original and unique…I hate when people complain about the shaky camera and that it made them nauseous. I think both the prequel ideas are great and I can't wait to see what they decide to do!
Love you Perez!!!
I'd def go. But only if they do the backstory. Same night with different characters would just be retarded.
You clowns are such idiots. Cloverfield was GREAT!!!!!!!!
JJ, don't listen to them give us more but give us something BIGGER!!!! Another monster that battles the first monster on top of a whole bunch of world cities.
definitely; the first was so good.
I'd see it. I would just hope it could live up to the first one, which I thought was excellent. I got through the shaky camera, but I wouldn't mind if that part was left out of the sequel.
You know, I didn't see the first one… but maybe because I live in New York and I have no sense of humor, even if it's some pretend Loch Ness whatnot wreaking havoc. I'm so sick of movies depicting the destruction of NYC. You try living through a 9/11 and tell me if you'd feel any differently. Have that Godzilla/King Kong/Alien or whatever it was go and F up an Applebee's in the middle of a mall or something… see how many people find that entertaining.
i would DEFINETLY see the sequal.
YES! I would definitely see another one.
Maybe if you ate less gummi bears and greasyass popcorn you wouldn't have gotten sick, fat boy.
i liked the original… a sequel could be good - fill in the story a little
Re: me – if you dont like perez then why do you come to his site? do something beter with your time then bitch about how much you hate him or how much of a "fat ugly bitch" he is. if you cant do that then just go play in the streets!
HELL NO!!! I so wouldn't see it! I hated the first one. I didn't mind shaky camera at all, thought the way they shot the movie was good. The only reason I watched it was for the monster! It was so lame and not at all scary, there are better looking monsters in the new Hell Boy movie
nah, it would totally ruin the first one. i loved the ambiguity of it which made it really interesting.
I would totally see the sequel! I love "Cloverfield"!
Um, THIS movie wasn't even an original, it was a rip off of a korean movie.
soooo good luck to them.
No. The first one made me feel horribly sick.
I would never go see a sequel for the fucking movie! It made me want to barf the whole time I was watching it. If I would have seen it alone with my friends I would have walked out after 10 minutes, but I couldn't leave so I had to stay through one of the worst movies I have EVER seen. Just about as bad as Black Christmas.
hell yea i LOVED the first one.
Perez, have you researched all of the viral marketing for the movie? I didn't know about it until after I saw the film, but it made the movie so much better! It's actually so much more than a monster movie with a shaky camera. It's amazing all the work that they put in to make is seem like it was really happening, creating companies, myspace pages, etc…
I would love to see a sequel, I really hope they decide to do something and soon!
The first one sucked big time. I'm glad I waited for it to come out on DVD (Netflix). It wasn't worth much more than as a rental. What a rip-off.
noo
anyone who compares cloverfield to the blair witch is truely an idiot. the first hand point of view made it more realistic. the storylines were completely different and comparing them based soley on the shaking of the picture is moronic. the movie owned, i'd go see it a sequel.
All you PUSSIES who got "sick" or "nauseated" just need to fucking stay home, in bed, under the covers. Damn pussies. This movie was awesome but I guess all you dumbass SHEEP are just too stupid to recognize a great movie.
yes, why not?
cloverfield was AWESOME!!! Very inventive and unique, left you thinking and wanting more. I would love to see a sequel where more is exposed and unraveled. People who got motion sickness should never get on a plane or leave there home.
