'CLOVERFIELD 2 Officially In The Works With Babak Anvari Directing!

It’s been a long time coming (15yrs actually) since the film ‘CLOVERFIELD’ brought a giant monster to New York City. The film launched a few spinoff sequels that loosely connected to it like 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox but now we can confirm a direct sequel is in the works!

Deadline reports today that Babak Anvari (Under the Shadow, Wounds) is directing a new Cloverfield movie for Paramount, with Joe Barton being hired to write the script.

Deadline reports, “It is unknown how this new installment will link to its predecessors; whether its straight sequel to the original or an anthology piece that is set in the Cloverfield universe.”

We’re hoping this new sequel will be a stand alone that connects things from the 2008 film to it for a great segue.

J.J. Abrams is producing for Bad Robot, along with Hannah Minghella and Jon Cohen. Bryan Burk, Matt Reeves, and Drew Goddard will executive produce.
