Project Cloverfield Forums

There have been some reports of a Cloverfield sequel set for 2009. Only the directors and producers have been confermed, and even that is sketchy.

Just thought I'd throw that out there if nobody else has heard. Trying to get back in the loop again and what not.

The release date will most likely be 2009, or early 2010. Nonetheless, the sequel will give us more insight into Clover, Tagruato and hopefully what happened to Lily when she left the city in the helicopter. I can't wait for the sequel.

I'd prefer a sequel not to be rushed. I read in a magazine I got that Matt Reeves wants to come up with a way to have the sequel just as original as the first. That's good to hear for me, as I really would kind of feel let down if a sequel were your usual run of the mill Hollywood movie.

Summoner Yuna...

I think a sequal would suck. Definately wouldn't do the film justice, what they COULD do s make ONE more film but make it a (I'm going to make up a word) Parallelequal heh, so a whol enew film, set over the same time frame just from a different persons point of view - after all, everyone in the streets were filming too! Plus at one point Hud turns to around on the bridge and we see some guy filming Hud - that would make an awesome cross over / tie in in the Parallelequal

The Tagruato "incident" is not even remotely connected to the Cloverfield creatures origin. The creature is actually an off-world alien. Watch the movie again and you should see the one and only clue!

I hope you're not talking about the rogue satellite piece that falls into the ocean at Coney Island (the last scene in the film). JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves already confirmed that the monster is not an off-world alien. They clearly stated that it was a monster awakened from its thousand-year slumber. And it is related because that's where we first see activity of the Cloverfield monster -- at the Chuai deep-sea drilling station. Do some more research before you spread false predicaments that have been debunked multiple times.

It's annoying.

Please direct me to where Abrams and Reeves confirm this and please don't tell me to check out IMDB.com, like Wikipedia most of that information is based on user input, full of inaccuracies and is not necessarily verified by anyone involved with the subject or staff members of said sites.

I really can't imagine the creator(s) taking all of this viral marketing nonsense and force feeding it to the lamen movie goer so that they'll be able to understand what's going in in front of them. I believe the phrase Keep It Simple Stupid is a better ideaology. Why the hell would the creators bother to put that scene in the film to show to the majority of people who weren't familiar with the satellite story?

And the fact that this "rogue piece" of the ChimpanzIII satellite, needs to be tracked and identified by both scientists and engineers is awfully suspicious. Wouldn't an inanimate piece of anything be easily identified and tracked? I mean where is it going to go, it's inanimate right? And why would a rogue piece of anything need identification? Additionally, rogue usually indicates something terrible or destructive.

More importantly, the fact that the name of the satelite this "rogue" piece broke free from has part of the word Chimpanzee in it is also suspcious. Hmmmm, other than his reptilian-like skin and alien like eyes our boy Clovie's primary arms and hindquarters seemed awfully simian-like, wouldn't you agree? And do we even know what kind of satelite ChimpanzIII is? Sounds awfully like a orbiting laboratory to me according to the Tagruato press release.

I'd even go as far as to theorize that the creature is an experiment by the Tagruato corporation gone awry. I know it's a stretch but it's simple and makes much more sense than all of the conjecturing that everyone is doing when it involves all of this viral marketing blather. And it allows for the everyday Joe Shmoe who knows nothing about any of that nonsense to enjoy the film and then speculate and theorize where the monster came from without prior knowledge of a viral marketing backstory.

But then again, this is the type of film that is left open to individual interpretation.

"Rouge" is part of the terminology used to describe objects that fall out of orbit: "Track" means to trace the object's trajectory after it hit water and involves accounting for water density and currents. In other words the conection between the sattelite and clover is probably that it's what woke it up, not it's origin

For the sake of trying to keep this place alive, I agree with the person above me.

There in no way in hell that the thing was an alien, unless it came from space thousands of years ago. the satillite was some something that happened related to the build up that may or may not have woken Clover up.

I was never really sure how the sattilite woke clover up. Did it fall from space, hit the ocean, then fall thousands of feet through the water, and bop him on the head? The chances of that happening are so very slim.
