Matt Reeves ‘Cloverfield 2’ Update: It May Never Happen
While fans of the first Cloverfield are understandably drooling for the day Cloverfield 2 finally makes its way to the big screen, in an interview with B-D reporter Chris Eggertsen earlier today director Matt Reeves (talking about the Feb. 1st DVD/Blu-ray release of Let Me In) claimed that producer J.J. Abrams, screenwriter Drew Goddard, and himself just haven’t had a chance to meet yet to hash out a story – and that if they don’t figure out something they’re all happy with once they do get together, the project could in fact never happen. In other words: the sequel isn’t dead, but it’s not exactly on the fast-track either.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have any [news],” said Reeves. “We’re just…you know, somebody was saying to me that I had said something about, ‘well, we’re gonna try and get the band back together.’ And the band is still not back together, we’re just still talking about getting back together. But we haven’t really had a chance to talk about it. I mean, J.J. is eding ‘Super 8’ right now, he’s got a very, very intense schedule right now that he’s working on. And Drew [Goddard] is writing Steven Spielberg’s next movie, I think, after the Abraham Lincoln film. He’s doing ‘Robopocalypse’. So everybody’s very, very busy. But I’m sure we’ll get together one of these days and sort of bounce it around until we come up with something that we get excited about. And if we don’t, then we won’t make it.”
We’ll keep you posted on any future news…hopefully they can find a way to make this one work.
The amount of green vomit spewed in our exclusive new trailer from writer/director Joey Bicicchi‘s feature debut might make you Woozy.
The new horror movie will be available virtually nationwide during the Popcorn Frights Film Festival, starting August 7, with festival passes and tickets available now.
Emile Hirsch (The Autopsy of Jane Doe) stars as Dusty, a man who has meticulously engineered his existence into something pristine and untouchable—meditation at dawn, disciplined yoga, punishing boxing routines, strict nutrition, obsessive hygiene. Every detail is calculated. Every impulse contained. Every fear locked out. Until it isn’t.
When Dusty’s carefully constructed system finally fractures, something impossible slips in—Woozy. A horrifying apparition that shouldn’t exist… and yet absolutely does. What begins as control collapses into spectacular chaos as Dusty is forced into a brutal confrontation with the delusions he thought he had mastered. WOOZY becomes a visceral battle between discipline and disorder, sanity and surrender, structure and the terrifying unknown that lives just beneath the surface.
The trailer below teases a psychological descent into a mind’s darkest corners.
Jackie Cruz, Penelope Mitchell, and Jeff Adler also star.
“Everyone involved with Woozy and I are so stoked to be part of a top-tier festival like Popcorn Frights. We can’t wait to share this film with one of the best horror audiences in the world. Buckle up for a choose-your-own-adventure through trauma, horror, vomit, mimes, cats, demons, and, yeah… sometimes it’s okay to laugh at just how bonkers this journey gets. Emile Hirsch fans, you don’t want to miss this performance. He absolutely delivers. And remember… Some monsters don’t hide under the bed. They live in your head,” Bicicchi said.
