Michael Fleming of Variety says Paramount sows 'Cloverfield' sequel:
Matt Reeves is in early talks with Paramount to direct a "Cloverfield" sequel, and he has also made a deal with GreeneStreet Films to direct "The Invisible Woman."
Timing of the projects will depend on how quickly Paramount can complete discussions with Reeves, producer J.J. Abrams and scribe Drew Goddard to scare up another monster tale for the "Cloverfield" sequel. There's a good chance the sequel will be Reeves' next film, in which case he will direct "The Invisible Woman" afterward.
"Woman" is a Hitchcock-style thriller that probes the mind of a former beauty queen who turns to a life of crime to protect her family.
Reeves wrote the script and will produce with Abrams and GreeneStreet's John Penotti, Fisher Stevens and Tim Williams....
I have no doubt that Matt Reeves (pictured on set with Lizzy Caplan) and Co will make sure that "Woman" will entertain....And I'm not really surprised that the suits at the studio want a sequel to Cloverfield. I just wish that they allowed the monster flick the chance to stand alone...rather than turn things into a "brand"....
Oh well, what can ya do...? The $$ is always the bottom line in Hollywood...
