Matt Reeves is in early talks with Paramount to direct a Cloverfield sequel reports Variety.
It’s likely that Cloverfield 2 will be Reeves’ next project before he begins work on The Invisible Woman, a Hitchcock-style thriller that probes the mind of a former beauty queen who turns to a life of crime to protect her family.
With a $25 million budget, a strong concept and cast of unknowns, Cloverfield scored a $46 million opening frame, which was a record for a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Paramount gave away almost no first-dollar gross, making the film a bargain for the studio.

D.J. Caruso, who is set to make a film adaptation of comic book series Y: The Last Man has told USA Today that it might become a trilogy with Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) in ‘preliminary discussions’ to play Yorick. New Line Cinema will release the first movie, which will be based on the first 14 issues of the series.
‘For me, thematically, the most important thing and the reason I want to do this is … I don’t want to say it’s the end of the innocence, but it’s actually a man-child who has to become a real man now,’ said Caruso. ‘I think it’s a really simple, beautiful theme, but at the same time, the movie’s really pop-culture entertainment.‘
Y: The Last Man is a comic book series written by Brian K. Vaughan and published by Vertigo. It tells the story of the sole surviving male human after the spontaneous, simultaneous death of every male mammal on Earth. The series has received considerable acclaim from a wide array of critics.

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
