Director hints at 'Cloverfield' sequel

Cloverfield director Matt Reeves has hinted that the film could be getting a sequel.

JJ Abrams' monster movie broke box office records on its release over the US holiday weekend, taking an estimated $50 million over four days.

Reeves told Comingsoon.net: "This was so fun 'cos we'd never done anything like it, and I think we'd want to find a similar challenge, to find a way to have its roots in this but be fresh and new, otherwise you're just repeating yourself."

He added: "We'll have to see if anyone would want a sequel. If the movie does well and we find a compelling reason to do so then it would be fun to do a sequel."

Abrams recently claimed that he wants the film to thrill audiences like old-fashioned monster movies.
