10 Recently Announced Movies That Will Probably Never Happen
8. Cloverfield 2
Ever since found footage monster movie Cloverfield was a critical and box office hit back in 2008, there have been discussions about a sequel, and though director Matt Reeves was initially committed, the project ended up stalling and never came to fruition.
We did end up with two spin-offs, 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox, yet last year it was announced that Paramount was officially pushing ahead with Cloverfield 2, with Joe Barton (Encounter) tapped to pen the script while Babak Anvari (Under the Shadow) will direct.
The studio also confirmed that the film will abandon the found footage format of its predecessor, but all other information is remaining under wraps.
This is one of those "we'll believe it when we see it" situations, because as much as a Cloverfield sequel should be a slam-dunk proposition, there's surely a reason it hasn't materialised in almost 15 years.
Producer J.J. Abrams is infamous for attaching himself to projects that never get made, and this latest attempt at a Cloverfield sequel simply sounds like the newest one.
