And now in an exclusive interview by Total Film, director Matt Reeves (LET ME IN) is being questioned about the status of the much-debated sequel to CLOVERFIELD. Reeves is indicated that they are working on a plot with the help of their producer J.J. Abrams.
Here is what he have said:
"Well, you are going to see it - we just don't know when [laughs]"
"At the moment we are talking about the story quite a lot. Drew Goddard, who wrote the original, is going to pen the sequel and JJ Abrams is very much involved".
"However, the three of us have been so busy that getting the right idea together has been taking a long time."
Apart from that, there are also discussions whether the sequel will be using the same shaky-cam technique or different method altogether.
“You see, that’s a difficult part: we want it to be shot like the first but how can you continue that idea successfully for a second time?”
Reeves concluded by saying:
“We have a lot of affection for the original and the sequel can’t just be the same thing. But that is tricky when you need to have a monster destroying stuff once again".
Paramount Pictures will be distributing the sequel, and the movie is expecting for theatrical release on 2014.
Stay tuned.
