I’m not going to spoil this great movie for anyone, but there’s something the director said that I though was interesting:
(while in Japan) “We saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong’s adorable. I wanted something that was just insane and intense.”
Once you see the movie you’ll agree with me: that wasn’t Godzilla you got inspiration from buddy. Tsk-tsk… Just admit what you’re really into.
There’s rumors that the writer and director of Cloverfield, wanna make an other movie about it. However rather than be a prequel or sequel, it might portray the same events we saw in the movie, from another group’s point of view. Interesting.
Prequel/Sequel/Different PoV - I’d see it regardless. The movie was very good and better than my original expectations. Wish there was a soundtrack with ROAR! on it.
There isn’t really a good word for it. So let’s create one!
Prequel is out – means something set before the series.
Sequel is out – means something set after the series.
It’s not a side story, and it’s not an alternate universe.
I think “conquel” is the best candidate we have (“con” in the “concurrent” sense, not the “congress” sense)
