I would introduce the camera in the movie to, maybe with the military having new equipment, reporting and capturing data missed. Or it could be that another group of people having a camera and are recording it also. this movie should take place somewhere far away like in china or Japan or something, where Hudson’s friend (Rob) was going, connecting it still with the formal characters, but never splitting up, I don’t know about lily, if she would go, but “Beff”(Elizabeth) and Rob are now together or something like that, to get away from America for awhile, there taken a break. so the movie can introduce the main characters from America, cause you have to have American actors in an American movie especially in a foreign country, or it could be that new character are experiencing the disaster as they captured it. I think it should take place in Japan or somewhere near there, just like it would give us a hint from Rob’s going away party, that the next one would be filmed in Japan, another city where there is large structures and water near by. There has to be reasons why the creature would go there, Right?

I think yes the film should be made in another foreign land, but what about the title? What’s the connection?

Now that that’s out of the way, Cloverfield was an amazing movie. It really captured what it’d be like if something like that actually happened. There NEEDS to be a sequel, but honestly, it shouldn’t be filmed from someone else’s camera angle. Just because it’s not giving us anything new.

The great thing about that movie was the ingenious idea of narrative, I just found it really a smart way to unfold the story without using flashbacks, but rather use the medium which had been taped over to sporadically show bits of information the viewer would not be able to know without a flashback or this type of plot filling. Whoever came up with that idea should be brought back in.
