‘Cloverfield’ Is Finally Getting A Direct Sequel

Back in 2008, there were discussions of a possible new direct sequel to Matt Reeve‘s highly acclaimed monster movie Cloverfield, which spawned 10 Cloverfield Land and The Cloverfield Paradox which both went in new directions. A proper sequel to Cloverfield never materialized, until now.

Paramount and Bad Robot have now hired Joe Baron, the showrunner for HBO’s “The Batman”, to pen the script for the direct sequel which will be see J.J Abrams return as a producer.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the true sequel has now entered development. One thing will be different from the original though, it will not be found-footage.

While details are still slim we also know that the original movie’s director Matt Reeves will not be involved.

In the original 2008 movie, a group of friends venture into the streets of New York after a party on a rescue mission as the city is attacked by a giant monster. Here’s a look back at the original Cloverfield trailer.
