March 02, 2009 01:03:56Providing an update to reports on the development of "Cloverfield" sequel, producer/director J.J. Abrams has spilled the bean on the status of the proposed project. During a "Star Trek" panel at the WonderCon 2009 on Saturday, February 28, he revealed that the possible sequel of the 2008 hit monster movie could be in its early stages.

'Cloverfield' Sequel Put On Hold
June 28, 2008 12:06:20When the monster movie "Cloverfield" hit the theaters back in January, it created such a buzz that it went on to rake in as much as $170.5 million worldwide. Seeing the enthusiastic responds from moviegoers, online publications started to speculate about a sequel which get a positive nod from the film's filmmakers. However, words around "Cloverfield 2" kept on going in and out ever since generating questions whether it would be done or not.
On the latest report outed by Sci Fi Wire, it is said that any further plans on the sequel have been put on hold until the filmmakers can come out with great idea like the first one. Revealing about the decision was director Matt Reeves in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Universal City, California, on June 24. "The thing that we sort of promised ourselves is we only wanted to do another one if we could come up with something that felt as fresh to us to make as that one did," shared the co-creator of television drama "Felicity".

"So my dream is to work with [Goddard and Reeves] again, but do something that's [new]," explained the "Mission: Impossible III" director and co-writer. "We're talking about it. But the truth is there's another idea that I'd rather do with the same people than do a sequel. It's a whole new thing."
