Obviously it is no surprise that cloverfield took the #1 spot. The true test will see how much of a hit it takes between weeks one and two. With Rambo and Untraceable opening this comming weekend, it will be interesting to see just how much of a drop-off Cloverfield takes. Fortunately, for all of us who are yelling for more, Abrams has already been talking about a second installment in the Cloverfield saga. Especially since the movie ended without any news clippings on the fate of the monster and the success of the bombing descision.

OKay, first of all in the story above it says “Oh, and maybe udes a tape-based camcorder so the taping over old footage gag will make sense (doesn’t quite work with SD cards)” Okay let’s think logically here. The only way you could have known that the film was from an SD Card was if you saw the beginning of the movie where it clearly says “Department of Defense” “Property of the Government”, etc. Okay, imagine your the military watching this “taped” footage. The governemnt is telling you that the footage is being played back from an SD Card. That doesn’t nessicarily mean that it was filmed directly to the SD Card, as a matter of fact the characters use the term “tape” during the whole movie, hence, a “taped-based camera! The footage was probably converted to an SD Card for stroage puposes and to make sure they could preserve the footage.

Sequel? Sure, i’m game. I have really taken a liking to little ol’ Clovey. It is my new favorite creature. Seeing more of it would be awesome. That is all.

When they make a sequel, I’d like one that looks at the same day from another perspective. And preferably ditching the whole POV-camera, at least largely… maybe a documentary style, something in the vein of “Where did it come from, what is it?”, with clips of “actual eyewitness footage”, news clips, footage from the army (fighter gun cam footage etc) thrown in to illustrate points etc.

I wouldn’t like to see another one, I loved the first one, but really? This is obviously just an attempt to milk it. But for real, I would see it if it came out, but I don’t want it to come out.

It is a cash cow and they are studio executives, do miners pan for gold or just enjoy the the scenery?

if the sequel will continue with POV shots it won’t profit as much as the first in fact the film could flop. just checking the feedback in the net a lot are dissapointed at the shaky camera shots.

Cloverfield is a very good film that innovates and they can innovate more without going back to shaky POV shots.

No no no no no no no no no no. I’m sorry I don’t have a more eloquent response, but a sequel to a movie that is only fun because you don’t know what the hell is going on (or possibly because you like feeling ill whilst looking at dark images on huge screens)? I don’t think there’s much point.

Of course from the studio’s point of view, there are always enough people to fill theatres for sequels, even if it’s only for the opening weekend. Heck, there’re enough people to fill theatres around the country for days for that Hannah Montana THING. Actually, lets not go there.
