IGN spoke to producer J.J. Abrams about the possible sequel to Cloverfield. He has spoke about it in the past, but there has been nothing concrete set.

Q: Any movement on a Cloverfield sequel?

ABRAMS: We’re talking about it, but the truth is there’s another idea that I’d rather do with the same people than do a sequel. It was a whole new thing.

Q: You mean do a different project with Drew [Goddard] and Matt [Reeves]?

ABRAMS: Drew and Matt, yeah. So my dream is to work with them again, but do something that’s… Having said that, Drew and Matt both separately have really good ideas for what it [the sequel] could be, so I don’t know, we’ll see. I know the studio wants it, but who knows…

So Paramount want to make a sequel because it made them big bucks, and only cost $30 million to make. It’s good that they have different ideas about what to do, rather than just do the obvious and have the monster come back and attack a different city with a different bunch of people with a handy camera.

Cloverfield is coming to DVD very soon and will no doubt sell like hotcakes, giving Paramount more profit to the $140 million they currently have. When a film is made for a mere $25 million and goes on to make that kind of money, a sequel will most likely be on the cards. However, would any of the original cast return? ShockTillYouDrop spoke with Michael Stahl-David (the lead monster fleer) about whether he has heard anything about the inevitable Cloverfield 2. (I am sure everyone who saw it knows what happen to his character at the end of the movie)

“I think they’re still trying to figure out how they’re going to pull it off,” the actor laughs. “They have some ideas they’re excited about but they’re really not sharing them with many people…and they’re not sharing them with me.”

He adds he would be surprised if Reeves and company asked him to return, “unless it was being glimpsed for a second by somebody else’s camera. And I think people have seen enough of me running around anyway.”

Personally, I think they should carry on with a sequel but with a totally different cast. Then we can see the night from peoples eyes, or a whole different night entirely.
