J.

I hope not though. I liked <strong>Cloverfield<\/strong> a lot and thought it was one of the few giant monster films that actually dares to be about something deeper than just a crazy giant beast stomping on model buildings. Hopefully, the desire for moviegoers to see a sequel is not diminishing over the time it takes fort the film to finally be produced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">When Cloverfield was a monster hit (sorry for that pun) back in 2008, immediate speculation began not as to whether there would be a sequel, but as to when.
