With The Cloverfield paradox i 10 Cloverfield Lane, the idea of a Movie “Cloverfield” has it endured a long time after launch of the 2008 original. But we never knew more that history. That monster. And now, that it could finally change.
The Hollywood Reporter reports Joe Barton, the latest shownext runner HBO show Max Gotham City, has been hired by Bad Robot and Paramount to write a Cloverfield 2. Unlike the first movie, it won’t be a movie to be found, but it will be a direct sequel to this film. The other Cloverfield movies they were more “spiritual” sequels, although the elements did so tangentially and potentially, tie them all.
JJ Abrams, who helped conceive the first film along with writer Drew Goddard and director Matt Reeves, will return to produce, but none of the others will join him. (While Reeves is producing the Barton’s Gotham City show, so is he there is probably some connection.)
It is also unknown what direction Barton will take, if he picks up the other films, uses some of the same characters, and so on. But for fans of the original Cloverfield, it is certainly exciting to think that we will finally know more the monster that terrorized New Yorkers in 2008.
