just an idea to keep with the theme of the "found footage". this time follow a combat video-journalist. someone who would be conditioned to go at the monster rather than away from it. at one point, have this guy run into the group from the original--not having any contact with them, but showing them, for a brief moment in their own adventure thru his lens.
the movie could start right in the thick of it rather than a build-up and show.....well, thats all i got, im a fanboy, not a screenwriter......just an idea.

When i heard about the sequel. i groaned. I really like 788's sequel idea though, now that would be a good movie. Unfortunately, they will probably do some crap that will ruin it:(

Not sure about this one. It has a "Blair Witch 2" feel to it. Not everything works as a series, just leave it as a good stand-alone movie.

IMO Cloverfield 2 is already coming to theaters... or did I mistake the Kracken in Clash of the Titans to be THE Cloverfield monster?? LOL!

literally i was JUST thinking about CLOVERFIED tonight! i love the 1st one and i'm SO hopeful that part 2 comes to fruition. but PLEASE make it a theatrical release and not just a DTV release. CLOVERFIELD works best on the BIG screen (it loses something on tv screens IMO...i still love it though).

How in god's name is this movie getting a sequel? Cloverfield was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life, and I've sat through Judge Dredd, Batman & Robin, Superman IV, Surf Ninjas, Transformers 2, Quest for Camelot...hell, I watched Transmorphers. And none of those piles of crap were as bad as Cloverfield. This movie getting a sequel defies all logic and reason, and can only be viewed as some obscene form of torture being pushed onto mankind by malevolent forces.

I'd like to see national and local news footage as it crossed, oh let's say, North America in something like 24 hours. That way you'd see amateur handi-cam footage as well as major networks with choppers. Basically I'm looking for OJ but waaaaay more exciting. Fear not a sequel to 'Cloverfield'. . .the Juice is still loose. . .

Oh man! I should have checked with my editor sooner. . .now I look like an ass-hole! It turns out that "The Juice" is not actually "loose"! I can finally sleep at ni-ZZZZZ zzzzz ZZZZZZ zzzzzz. . .

They shouldn't even bother making a sequel it's waste of time and money. The first one is the worst movies I have ever seen in my life.

i would love to see a remake to the creature from the black lagoon,and the beast of 20000 phantoms,and some of those older movies they were great for their time and just need a update. i love monster movie/killer animal creature features and we do not see enough of them these days. bring us some monster movies.

Glad to hear a sequel is being discussed, but I agree that it may be best to let this film stand on its own. Cloverfield is one of the best Daikaiju sci-fi films to hit theaters recently. There was an eerie closeness that you don't get from most giant monster movies that made this click. I'm not a fan of the shaky hand camera filming approach, but even it worked well in this film. Much of the magic that made this work was the newness and unfamiliarity - all of which will be gone in a sequel.

I think 788 may have something here as far as a story arc for the sequel, should it be made. That said, I'd just as soon let Cloverfield stand as a single chapter.

Funny, I was just watching the first one again last night

Hey Antonio, I take exception to Surf Ninjas. That is all.

Posted by: slackjaw on March 14, 2010 at 17:32:24

a sequel could be a good move into a new direction. consider this...
godzilla always attacked japan, and kong never lasted long enough for a sequel...so here's a chance to do something different...a second beast landing in another metropolis, doin his rampage and destruction thing, but folks are more prepared for media coverage. drop him in Hollywood. plenty of cams available to the general public...and he might be able to stop 'the smurfs' from ever hitting the big screen
it could happen

How about a Documentary style of a movie for the sequel with a National Geographic type of feel/production to it.

Posted by: wyngarde on March 14, 2010 at 21:42:03

I'd like to see this not happen. And maybe some one else make an awesome giant monster movie.

We can do it. Why don't we?

@Antonio

Your comment is as creative and original as your User name. and I totally agree with 788's idea. Sounds brilliant.

Posted by: joe asylo on March 15, 2010 at 02:40:35

yeah.

I use my real name, unlike the majority of users who are too afraid to use their own name when giving their opinions.

i don't mind a part 2 at all. i liked the first.

Posted by: JUman on March 24, 2010 at 03:03:46

I hear alot of different opinions on this movie. I, for one, absolutely loved it. The documentary stlye of the movie was something new and worked very well. They mixed alot of different genres into this film and made it great. I mean come on, 46 million on the first weekend is pretty nice for a movie that costs 25 mil lol

Jesus it's been a long time since I've talked About good old MGP, but that's cool,sometime s you need to be able to let the perverbial "dust settle" so to speak, lol. But seriiously, I'm all for a sequel and all, but for now I would take a simple tie-in with clash of the titans. Just so we can have some further insight into the origins of the monster. The tagruato satellite that fell from the sky and woke him up is irrelevant.

what would totally blow me away would be to find out that the monster originated from the time of the Greek Gods, as the pet of Zeus the father of them all, and after he fell, he remained dormant for millenia, and throw in a little bit of evolution(or the original kraken died and this is merely a kraken baby that's been incubating for a million years. Which would explain the lack of tentacles as of yet aswell, lol), and we have the gods lapdog simply waking up to a new and frightening world. Trying to get a grip on things and the world not being able to understand what's really happening, so they take teh offensive.

This would totally satisfy my curiosity that was left over from the first movie since we were promised answers eventually(f$@&$ u jj!!), and would subsequently clear the runway of all debris that's been left in the wake of this thing, so that we can move on and take a fresh approach at making a new sequel, and do something we haven't seen before with our beloved monster. The first movie was absolutely genius, and for those that can't appreciate what was done with this film by way of pioneering hardcore viral marketing, or keeping up with progress or rather the future of film making and keeping the audience suspended in disbelief for 90 minutes, which is becoming harder and harder to accomplish. Kudos to the people who get off their butts daily and make these films happen. Regardless of the endless amount of lashing comments that they may recieve from those who don't.
Thank you movie magicians for keeping us all busy on a nightly basis.
