Drew Goddard to pen Cloverfield 2

[Worthystevens]

Production charts have made it known that Drew Goddard will write CloverField 2. Cant really complain since the first movie was fantastic. IS it just me though or is JJ Abrams getting all the credit? Matt Reeves the directors name is hardly mentioned, nor is the writer. Anyrate I am sure you are all stoked for a sequel since so many of you loved the movie.

Paramount has to complete discussions with Reeves, Producer JJ Abrams and scribe Drew Goddard. Then of course they will have to spin together another tale for Cloverfield. Once that is complete what storyline can they go with? Another story out of the first break out? Or perhaps follow up on the ending of the first?

Cool, the first one was a great ride, and I will look forward to the sequel. But there's so many ways they can go wrong. I hope they can take it in an interesting direction.

Loved the movie and don't see why a sequel is needed.

Funny about the bit on JJ getting all the credit. It's exactly what happened to Lost for a while even though he was only a producer and very distant from the project for a while now. But I think Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof are finally getting their due not just on the internet.

As for a part 2, I think it would be pointless, but the film raked in a lot of money so it was inevitable. I just hope they don't fill the cast with the most bland characters imaginable yet again. It really killed the fun factor for me.

I hope you know the T.V. world is the Producer's medium in the same way films are the director's medium. Ten to one on a T.V. show, the producer is the one calling all the shots and the creator of the show.

And good to see they're making a Clovey 2. Interested in seeing the direction they go with this. :)

I was afraid of this. There should never be a Cloverfield 2, ever. It feels way too forced. What, is someone else going to pick up a camera and start shooting? And if it turns to be in a regular movie style, it will completely defeat the purpose and originality.

I think it'll be better if the sequel strays from the handheld camera style and goes with some other style; I really don't know what the hell they're going to do with a sequel, since making it the handheld style would be idiotic and redundant.

Well, there was the other guy on the bridge...

Part of me wants this while another part doesn't. :confused:

why is this being made?

Sounds good to me , i always felt that the military angle would have been more interesting , the story they followed , with the 20 somethings in danger , came across like a glorified side story with useless melodrama and a cliched " love " story thrown in .

You can still have regular people in danger without entirely focusing on it , but i really want to see how the military deals with the situation this time around , maybe mixed with some more found video .


The sequel is always about more , more action , more destruction , more of the monsters , i would definitely like to see what they do with a sequel . It's ripe for multiple interpretations .

And I hope you know that Abrams calls exactly jack shit on Lost these days. Oh, he probably gets the scoop every now and then and offers insight, but he's too busy with shit like Star Trek to join the little people in the Lost universe for any considerable creative contribution. Plus, Lindelof IS a creator of the show along with Abrams, and a producer himself, so giving all the credit to Abrams is asinine. It is for Lost, and it is here for Cloverfield. If it truly is a director's medium, then Reeves should be the Golden Boy everyone is complimenting, not Abrams.

But I look forward to a Cloverfield sequel, preferably in the fashion Dellamorte just described. 28 Weeks Later definitely showed us that bigger can be better.

I can see this getting a big cult following like the Saw movies, too. Hopefully, it doesn't turn into a big gimmicky running gag like that series, though.

I don't know. It does seem forced, but honestly, "Cloverfield" was so incredible, I just want more of it, no matter the morals behind it.

Is that a serious question?

Quoted for truth.

I actualy hope it take place around the same time as the first. Maybe starting a little after and ending a little after.

I loved Cloverfield and I love Drew Goddard. bring on number 2.
