The guys over at Shocktillyoudrop have a interview of sorts with Michael Stahl-David of Cloverfield fame. They chat mainly about things pertaining to the upcoming release of the anticipated DVD. But they of coarse, as any genius would do, asked about the sequel.
Now before we get any ideas, do we want a sequel or let it continue on in our minds for what it was? Cloverfield was a great film and had an ending that, in my opinion, was well done and left you thinking about it for a few days after we left the theater.
With that said, I am sure someone will want to make a little extra cash off of this movie and create a sequel. I am sure it will be solid, but nothing like the original.
More can be found at the link above. What do you honestly think about this news? I think they should leave well enough alone. But they wont…

Personally, I didnt like Cloverfield, but I feel that a sequel would be very appropriate. Cloverfield was just like a taste, an hour and a half long preview if you will.
Perhaps the sequel will be an actual movie not just a load of crap thrown together, with nicely funded viral marketing campaign pushing it.

Cloverfield had a great marketing campaign that gave it a cool feel for a movie. However the execution of the movie was off by a long mile. For the record “Blair Witch Project” was a horrible movie and why anyone would copy that formula is beyond me. Cloverfield should have been shot as a movie and not a “my first video” project. Again, the concept was great but the execution fell flat.
As for a sequel. If they make it a movie and not an exact copy but from a different point of view then it may be good. But if they just rehash the concept from the first movie it will be a bomb bigger then the one that was dropped on Godzilla.
