Will Matt Reeves Get To Make His Passion Project?

Personally, I would prefer we had a Cloverfield in theaters every Halloween instead of the recent crop of recrudescent genre entries. Sadly that’s not the case and it looks like Cloverfield 2 may be further off than we expected.

Since the release of Let Me In, Matt Reeves has a lot more interesting scripts sent his way. So much so, that’s he having a hard time picking his next project. Reeves is trying to go with momentum and work out a deal to make his passion project The Invisible Woman. Regardless, one thing is definite. If he wanted to make Cloverfield 2, he’d be making Cloverfield 2. Maybe he’s waiting a few years for the found footage shakey-cam craze to die down.

Speculation is that he will once again be offered the Jane Austen by way of George Romano adaptation Pride and Prejudice and Zombies now that Mike White is off the project. Probably from nipple-pinching in development meetings. He looks like the type. (The Playlist)

Fans of jerky, POV monster movies are in for some bad news. The Cloverfield sequel isn’t coming out anytime soon, according to director Matt Reeves. But despite the lack of progress, Reeves assures fans that the film is on both his and J.J. Abrams‘ to do list.

"It really isn’t the moment for [the sequel] to go any further than it has, but it continues to be a priority for both of us," Reeves told the channel. "J.J. is very immersed in putting together’Super 8.’ He’s in pre-production and really, really passionately getting that together. And I’m passionately finishing’Let Me In.’"

You know what I’m passionately finishing? Putting up with your B.S., Matt Reeves! Make a Cloverfield sequel now, or so help me god, I will tear you apart on my personal blog like that monster tore apart the Statue of Liberty. The choice is yours. (Empire Online)

Secret J.J. Abrams Trailer to Screen Before ‘Iron Man 2′

It’s been roughly a year since J.J. Abrams teased us mercilessly, so I’d say we’re about due. It’s being reported that Hollywood’s sneakiest man is attaching a secret trailer for super 8 to prints of Iron Man 2 this weekend. You might ask, what is Super 8? You being me, of course. What is Super 8?

Hit Fix is saying that it’s the rumoured sequel to Cloverfield. Or it could be the other secret J.J. Abrams project 500 Rads. Or it could be some dusty, ol super 8 footage that Abrams found at a swapmeet. If anyone could make someone’s unwanted home movie a hit, it would be Abrams.

At any rate, now we all have a good reason to go see this "Iron Guy" movie that we’ve heard so little about.
