JJ Abrams Talks Cloverfield 2 & Star Trek

hyperion,

I think that's what Abrams is saying (focusing on Star Trek right now). I think he was just responding to questions regarding the sequel.

That said; either way I'd agree...focus on Star Trek (huge fan-based franchise, don't want to smurf it up) is best right now. However, in today's movie marketing strategy you have the "strike while the iron's hot" mentality... so I can see why they'd want to get moving on the Cloverfield sequel.

Just a thought...

Cheers

so happy the are makeing another cloverfiekd movie its was a sick movie i loved it

I think they should leave Cloverfield alone for awhile, it would be something cool to revisit every once in awhile, but I hate the idea that just because a movie is successful it needs an immediate sequel. Abrams should focus all of his creative energy on Star Trek, it's sounds like it's going to need as much help as it can get the way things are shaping up.

They should write in William Shatner for the new Trek film.

dude i would love another cloverfield! i am way excited

Crappy journalist.

Cloverfield 2, HELLS YEAH!!!!!!!!

looking forward to Star Trek

I liked the handheld pov. It was different. But it might be interesting to see the monster without that perspective, but i'd see it either way.

Sounds like Cloverfield 2 is not going to be from the first-person perspective (handheld). I had thought that would have been a bad idea...glad to hear they may be thinking the same.

Cheers

Radimus-83 says..."why the hell can't i watch this video? or any video on movieweb?....... what the fuck?"

I hacked your computer Radimus-83. Hehhehh (evil laugh).

Look, this all I have to say...leave the script for Cloverfield 2 in the trash can where it belongs along with the idea of doing another hand held camera flick, unless you want to supply the dramamine. Let me clarify, and also relay into words what I and about a gagillion other Trekkies are emotionally feeling-it better be nothing less than an A+ effort or your gonna open a world of hurt on your hands. 'Nuff!

1. wooooot for cloverfield 2!!!

2. DARK TOWER SERIES ON FILM!?!? I THINK I JUST CAME.

Can't wait for Cloverfield 2

JJ is my dawg. I hate that they moved Star Trek back.

Abrams is certainly connected to alot of great projects nowadays. I'd love to see the Dark Tower adaptation. Cloverfield was excellent and I don't know how anyone can say they got motion sickness from it. You're just looking for somethin to complain about.

Cloverfield was really cool, can't wait for Star Trek.

Another Cloverfield? I guess JJ liked to know that people were getting motion sickness on his movie...

Star Trek + fan = geek!! same as Star Wars fans! But a Cloverfield sequel awsome. The first was great and i agree with Abrams on the filming of it. But a Dark Tower movie PERFECT it's about damn time that start to get off the ground. Stephen King RULES!!!

why the hell can't i watch this video? or any video on movieweb?....... what the fuck?

He's such a geek. A that's what makes it ok for him to be part of the new Treck movie. Awsome.

neat

cool.

nice glasses, shed. I would love to see a Dark Tower Series on film, would be amazing.

The first Cloverfield Rocked! Hopefully, they'll temper some of the vertiginous camera work and deliver more monster reveals and origin exposition.

cool.cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool. cool.

I'd like to see as much originality in the sequel as was shown in the original. More exposition as well.
Bring on the Trek.
