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?
Cloverfiled rules assholes!
i would definitely see the sequel! cloverfield is my fave movie i want a sequel soooo bad!
The Sequel should be just as good, if not better than the first one.
Perez' thought process is so skewed he's thinking "how would 2 major disasters of this kind happen and be believable?" well, jackass, look for
the sequel to be about the original … there was more than one person shooting a camera somewhere in N.Y. that night … and that's the way they should go with it ….. however if they go with a 2nd disaster … holy crap i'll never watch another movie again cause that WOULD suck.
YESSSS!!!! I LOVED the first one! I thought i was very well done. Especially for a movie filmed with a cam corder….i didn't even notice the shakiness. It was very authentic.
they should continue with the two people left at the end of the first one and explain if they died or not
This movie sucked! By the time it was over I was dizzy and had a headache.
I would see the sequel. The first one way way good, and this franchise could go a long way.
ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN. IT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH IT. HORRIFIC!
No sequel…PLEASE! That movie sucked!!!! When I rented it at the video store, literally, two people said "NO! DON'T RENT IT!" Like a fool, I did. I should have listened to them. What crap! That guy who made is sucks!
I'd only go see it if somehow the monster destroys a huge billboard with Perez's fat ass on it.
Re: CityG – Get over yourself.
"Cloverfield" was really disappointing. It was a great idea but very poorly executed. JJ should concentrate on finishing Lost before he makes a "Cloverfield II".
Yes I would see it.
I would SO see the sequel. I loved the movie.
hell yes i will see the next one. cloverfield is one of the best modern monster movies that i've seen. beats the shit out of most of the crap that's released in theaters lately.
I would not see it, the first one sucked.
fuck yes i would.
I'm not paying $10 to barf again
Fuck no I wouldn't see a sequel. That shit made me so dizzy I didn't really even watch it, I held a jacket over my face.
I'd watch it if I took motion sickness meds beforehand tho…maybe.
See you in at the SF Centre tomorrow Perezito!!!
I would actually watch the sequel….I find it interesting that mainstream american producers support an unconventional idea instead of doing remakes of old movies or sequels to others….however…that's the crap the american audience wants…..
The movie wasn't GREAT, but it sure wasn't as bad as most of the shit Hollywood spews forth.
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, I still cry for my money!
Re: Truth – Oh bush sucks? hmmmmm has our country been under any sort of attack since 911? I think he did a pretty good job keeping the US a safe place for stupid fucks like you.
I love Cloverfield, and JJ Abrams. I'd see the sequel.
I loved the first film because it looks so real and everything is so full of feelings the film. And from that moment my mind is constantly thinking the possibility of sequels that I believe that if they maintain the level of the first (and so I think it is the intention of JJ Abrams) will be very interesting chapters of a series of films. Kisses for you, hermano from España!
YES!! Loved Cloverfield! Would definitely see a sequel!
HELL YES!!
i want a sequel.
i want to know if they really died.
what the stupid thing was.
and how they got ahold of that tape.
the ending was stupid.
FUCK YA I WOULD SEE THE SEQUAL!! THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE!! FUCK U PEREZ!
YES!
LOVE THE MOVIE!
people need to stop complaining about the way it was filmed
I would most definitely see a sequel or prequel. that movie was fantastic
hell NO. It was a mix between Independence Day and I Robot…. you can copy good Will Smith movies without Will Smith and be good….it sucked ass
I LOVED Cloverfield. I'd see a sequel in a heartbeat and recommend that everyone else does too. It was left hanging in the air. I want to know what happens next. I LOVED the monster too. So cool!
Hell yes I would see it! I love that movie. I can't believe ppl actually got sick from watching it. Pussies
Take away the shaky camera and you're left with a bullshit B-movie. Lost is just as over hyped as this pile of crap was.
Yeah, I would see the sequel…I thought the first one was great!
Hell fucking yeah, I would. I'd by tickets right now. They better not drop the ball on this one, the audience is already pre-sold.
No, No, No to a sequel to this lame, crappy movie! Dumbest storyline ever.
hell yes i'll see it. the movie was absolutely amazing and unique…people who don't see this need brain help
I watched with Netflix and I still felt ripped off. Seriously, what are those directors smoking?
id see the sequel or prequel
i loved cloverfield
Are you people really so self conceited that you call other people down for their own preference in movies? Really, if people liked it then they did, where do you guys get to call people retards or whatever for doing so?
I liked the movie, and I would see the sequel. I can't believe so many of you are saying you got nausea from watching it. Couldn't walk for a week? Really, get over it.
it made people puke? really? why? when the girl's head exploded? i guess i hadn't heard that it made people sick. i thought it was a really good movie. we watch worse violence in other movies.
that movie was awesome. I'd see a sequel.
oooohhhhhhhhh. because the camera shook so much. i saw it on dvd, so it didn't make me sick. never mind. i guess i could see how it would do that. i'd love to see one with another camera in the city that night. but not another monster in addition. that would be completely superfluous.
I think I would like to see what they could come out with it better be good!
fuck no….seriously the movie was a fucking joke…..i shouldve been paid to see that crap
They better do a sequel/prequel - it's the only thing that makes sense! I think it'd be smart to first do a prequel explaining Slusho's involvment in how the monster was created. Then, for the next one, they should do a sequel to the first movie on what happened next - I don't think they need to do the whole handy cam first person actiol again though! If they don't do another movie - whether it be prequel or sequel - then I'll definitely agree that the first one was useless…it just didn't give enough explanation of what was happening and why!
YES I WOULD SEE IT 10 TIMES I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS .. IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR
hell yes! You're a fat piggy with no talent perez
I had hopes for this movie but it totally sucked (*unless your a 14 yr old boy with no clue). The whole shakey camera bit is way overrated. Even when the person could totally be holding it straight and balanced…they don't…making it more forced and obvious of their attempt at "technique". This film gives you nothing but a FRICKIN' HEADACHE….LAME…and so are the people that liked it!
The reason you guys didn't like it, is because it was a love story. Everyone wanted this graphic, realistic monster movie, but what you got was a romance chick flick that made you vomit. Forget about taking your BFF's to "Sex in the City". Rent this with your girls and swoon!
Think Godzilla meets the Blair Witch Project-oooh that does very well in our focus groups. The kids these days are so undemanding. We are calling the sequel Simple Projects for Simple Minds or in the back room "Big Bucks From Dumb Fucks!"
Yes, I would see the prequel with the story on the monster. ONLY so I could know what THE hell was going on in that WACK movie!
Yes, I would see it. It was good. I was smart enought to take Dramamine before the show.
INTERESTING THING PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO KNOW BUT ABOUT CLOVERFIELD::: EVEN THOUGH THE END OF THE MOVIE KINDA SUCKED CUZ EVERYONE DIED (sorry if i ruined that, big shocker!) BUT DO YOU KNOW WHY THE MOVIE WAS CALLED "CLOVERFIELD" IN THE FIRST PLACE?? ANYONE???? CLOVERFIELD WAS WHAT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT RENAMED MANHATTAN AFTER THE MILITARY HAD TO BLOW UP THE ENTIRE CITY AT THE END OF THE MOVIE. YOU CAN CHECK THAT, IT'S TRUE. Okay it's fictional truth, but whatever. I just found it a bit intriguing and i think that because of that little known fact, the sequel might actually be pretty interesting, at least… i think so ;D
i want to see a sequel explaining the monster and at the same time explaining the aftermath of new york, since manhattan DID get bombed
Re: JULIE – No its actually the code name of the operation of bombing manhattan
What a desperately awful movie that was, let's hope there won't be another from the team that brought us the last one.
Heck yea…i liked it
Cloverfield wasn't a bad movie. A couple of the characters were annoying but overall, it was a good ride. I'd consider the sequel if the story is original.
cloverfield looked shitty, so I never saw it.
obviously, i wouldn't see the sequel
absolutely yes, i would.
yes i would see a sequel. what gives you any authority to determine what might, be entertaining, fresh, OR original. go doodle a dick and think of new couple names and leave the movie making to people who actually try to create something.
i actually enjoyed the first person crazyness of the first one, so yah
People say such gross stuff about my lover Perez!!! GEEZ fuckers.
Yeah this movie sucked balls. I would rather shit in public then watch this again.
I LOVED THE MOVIE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT FROM DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, I KNOW AT THE END OF THE CREDITS YOU HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE "HELP ME" MAYBE ROB AND THAT GIRL LIVED….. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT PICK UP FROM PEOPLE OUTSIDE NYC GETTING THE INFO AND WHAT IT IS. I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING FROM OUTERSPACE THAT FELL INTO THE OCEAN. BUT THIS WAS A BABY MONSTER, WHAT HAPPENED IF ITS MOTHER CAME FOR IT? DOES ROB SURVIVE?
Yes, I would.
I wasn't sure about this movie for the first 10 minutes or so, but once you get used to the different camera viewpoint, it's not bad. I'd definitely say they should develop a better story though, because the first one was kind of lame. It's like, Ok, there's a monster and everyone is scared. But how did the monster get there? Where is it from? Where is everyone going when they flee the city? Are there more monsters? I don't think they should've expected the "special effects" and witty teenage banter to carry the entire movie. I got really bored halfway through, and all of the characters seemed so predictable and cheesy - like some made-for-tv disney channel movie.
So, they should pick better actors. Actually, now that I think about it - the movie wasn't that great. It was kind of boring. So if they make another one, it better be more interesting.
Alright First of all Yes I would go and second
For all thos epeople bashing th emovie cause they say it was filmed by an eight year old, get over yourselves. The movie was made to be seen through the eyes of someone in that exact moment as it was happenning, its a new interesting way to film action/horror pics, obviously if u have a queezy stomach dont go see it douchebags. It was a good movie. wicked sweet graphics:)
maybe, if they showed the monster this time!!!
They need to finish the first one it ended badly with nn explanation of anything pissed me off!
i cant wait to see this movie !!
Hell yeah I would see it, they did the monster movie right for a change!!!
Argh i am still waiting to get my money back from the first one..
i will watch the sequel.i love d first one.
maybe people who's into arts n film will appreciate movie like cloverfield.
the first one seems like we r the camera man.like we r actually there.
haters, u guys r juz wasting time commenting if u dun wanna watch it.
yes that movie was hotness
damn right I would
NO!
i would. i saw the first one, it made me naucious but i didnt throwup in the theatre, and thankGod no one did in the theatre i was watching. but the movie left you with nothing. like the bad..thing or guy or whatever was causing all the scariness wasnt shown or like, solved. but i thought it was good.
Hells no, would I see a sequel! That movie SUCKED. Can you rip off tragedy in NYC any more???
I'd go see the sequel if they told the story from the point of view of officials involved in it like the cops and shit.
i'd totally c it =]
i luhuvd clover field
LOL… I like Cloverfield! Considering all the crap out there in theaters, I would definitely go see part 2! Camera work (e.g. 'actual video clip of the 'real' event') reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project…
i would see it only cause i want all the shit to be explained from the first movie…ha
hell nahhhh.
it Sucked.
ONLY if they didn't use the same film technique to make the movie - I had to leave towards the end because I felt like puking! I hated that it was "home made" movie the entire time…just too much!
Re: jen – Did you actually see the host? it was not like cloverfield at all!!! the only thing that was the same was that there was a weird monster. different plots, different monsters, different shooting styles, etc… Cloverfield was so much better than the host.
id see it =D
its some hot shit!
this movie would have been better the first time around IF I HADNT PUKED!! i hope for the sequel they show it from the points of an extablished cameraman
hell ya it was a good movie, perez you're weird, why dont u like obviously cool stuff
fck no that movie was ridiculously dumb
I'll see it if JJ Abrahms is still involved.
I would but it would depend on how it is done. I really liked the first one but I think it would have been so much better if it hadn't been shot it first person. It reminded me waaayyy to much of The Blair Witch Project. That is what made it suck. I think the ideas both soud great. But it needs to be shot in a different way. They do that and I'll see it. If not then no. That's all…
HELL YEAH TUBBY!!!!!!
TOTALLY! LIKE BEST MOVIE EVAR!
This has been the worst movie ever. Waste of time & money.
Good lord… there are so many people who are fucking idiots leaving comments. People getting sick over shaky cameras? It wasn't even /that/ shaky. You want to see shaky, then go watch Blair Witch. I work at a video store and I deal with people giving stupid assanine stuff like that and the whole 'You don't see anything!' defenses as to why the movie sucked. That was the point! You see what they see, and you use your own fucking imagination to try and determine what it is before they have a CLOSE UP SHOT of the monster. How much more do you need to see? Its bowels?
Anyway, as to the sequel, I'd see it. Saying that though, sequels rarely live up to the originals anyway, so it'll probably effectively ruin Cloverfield for those of us who did enjoy it in the first place.
no. that movie sucked. i get scared SO easily and they call that a thriller/horror movie? yah right.
Definitely!
YESSSSS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THINK THERE SHOULDNT BE A #2..HOW FUCKING STUPID…AS FOR THE CAMERA AND SHAKEY HAND SHIT…IT WAS OVER KILL…WAYYYYYYYYYY OVER KILL..LIKE WE GET IT..YOUR FILMING THIS HAPPENING BUT FUCK MAN EVEN I CAN HOLD A FUCKING CAMERA STEADY AND IM NO CAMERA MAN..IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH …WE GET IT…ITS A HAND HELD…AND PEOPLE PUKING ..I DONT DOUBT THAT …IT WAS TOO MUCH SHAKE TO SIT THROUGH AND IT WASNT THAT GOOD…IF THEY CAN THINK OF A GOOD STORY AND NOT GET THE SAME FOOL TO HOLD THE CAMERA ..WE WILL BE GOOD TO GO !!
