War of Gods, 300 Follow-Up, Hobbit, Cloverfield 2 and More!
Source: Collider.com June 26, 2008

Collider.com alerted us to more video interviews they've posted that were done at the Saturn Awards on Tuesday evening:

Producers Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari and Bernie Goldman Video Interview

They say they have landed director Tarsem Singh ("The Fall," "The Cell") to helm "War of Gods." They say it's another Greek film like "300." They say they're going to use the stuff they learned on "300" to make the film and they said it's going to start filming in the first quarter of next year. For more info on the film... watch the interview.

The other bit of news is on "300." They announced they're working on a new Blu-ray edition of the film and they dropped a bomb... they're trying to make a sequel/prequel to 300.

At first I didn't believe them, but later in the night I spoke to Zack Snyder again (interview will be posted tomorrow) and he confirmed what they said. He said Frank Miller is working on a new story of some kind and if they all really like it they'll make it! Crazy news....I know!

Guillermo del Toro Red Carpet Video Interview

He talks a lot about Hobbit and says he'd like to do Hellboy 3 when he finishes the films. So that means he has 18 upcoming projects...

Video Interview with Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves

Addresses Cloverfield 2 possibilities and talks a lot about his upcoming film The Invisible Woman.

[GeneD5]

I'm definitely in for a 300 prequel and cloverfield 2...I want to see them battle that big badass monster some more!

[M]

Cloverfield 2 will be on my to-watch list, not so bothered about the others as such.

[Blu-Runner]

I'm firmly interested in The Hobbit, but not so much in the others. I don't know, I guess the 300 sequel/prequel might be appealing, but I think I'm getting over the Sparta-thing. I never get tired of Middle-Earth.

Idk what War of Gods is. Probably check out 300, but hated cloverfield. One of the worst movies i've ever seen.

[Kyzer the Medic]

I absolutely hated Cloverfield, I guess I was one of the ones that "didn't get it".. I watched it, tried to get into it but in the end just couldn't do it. I REALLY liked the 3 minutes of the movie that the monster was actually in. Maybe if they make CF2 as an actual movie movie and not "found footage" I'd care, but as of right now, that one gets a big ..meh

[Super_Mecha_Godzilla]

All for Cloverfield 2! I love to have a Godzilla show up in the sequel and kick Clovers butt

Cloverfield 2 is actually on hold now. It may not get made.

Cloverfield 2 - Unfortunately this is the bad news of the bunch today. Cloverfield's director Matt Reeves also spoke to Collider and told them that unfortunately Cloverfield 2 is on hold. He confirms that they promised only to make a sequel if they could find a story that was as fresh and unique as the first Cloverfield and right now they haven't come up with that. He does say that they do have a couple of exciting ideas, but it's in the very early stages and it's not clear if they'll develop into anything.

[GeneD5]

I agree with the previous poster...make it like a normal movie (not blaire witch), and pack that thing full of monster!!!

[gtmorgan23]

i cannot wait until the hobbit comes out, probably number one on my movies i cant wait to see list

Hey guys:

The 'I didn't get it and I have no idea what the movie was about before I went into it' line is over there --------------->

Cloverfield delivered on every promise it gave, and it didn't give many promises.

Promises {for those who weren't paying attention} monster movie {possibly} shot from the perspective of the people who were in the city at the time. {shakey cam}

The "found footage" is the entire twist to the concept of the horror/monster genre. If you didn't like the fact that it was 'found footage' then you really REALLY didn't get the movie as that was the point.

It would be like complaining that there were snakes in 'Snakes on a Plane'.

Actually it's more likely it WON'T get made at this point.

Thats enough for me to put it at the top of my list

Let's just hope that the Hobbit films aren't 3 and a half hours long each...

I'm not interested in anything to do with the Greeks in movies until they release a movie that tells the ACTUAL story about the Spartans and not some lame cartoonish CGI laden version. After reading The Gates of Fire (highly recommended) they could have made that into a movie and had a much more enthralling story and 20 times higher blood and gore factor, while holding true to what really happened.

I personally, taking it for what it was, loved Cloverfield. I understand that it was heavilly flawed, but I actually liked the characters. I think that's the maker or breaker for that movie, since the monster really is just a backdrop to the actual story.

300 wasn't meant to be a historical document. it was based of a graphic novel
