Abrams Disses Sequel

Posted by bob in Films, News on May 19th, 2008

After the seeming teases that have been discovered about a potential sequel to Cloverfield, J.J. Abrams commented this week that he’d rather do something fresh with his pals, writer Drew Goddard and directed Matt Reeves.

“My dream is to work with [Goddard and Reeves] again, but do something that’s [new],” Abrams told the press. “Having said that, Drew and Matt both, separately, have really good ideas for what [Cloverfield 2] could be. So I don’t know. We’ll see. I know the studio wants 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.”
