Matt Reeves is still planning on directing a sequel for Cloverfield, but not until he gets another thriller on screen. The Invisible Woman will be Reeves next project, though it was originally slated before he hopped on board with J.J. Abrams to create “our own national monster,” as he called the beast in an interview with the LAist.

Although it has yet to be posted in the IMDb catalog, Reeves told MTV that they are moving from pre-production to full-fledged filming soon. The plot follows the plight of a woman who enters a life of crime to save her family, a Machiavellian concept that is more like Hitchcock’s Marnie than the 1940 flick that shares Invisible's title.

This is not the first time that Reeves has penned a screenplay, with both The Yards and The Pallbearer as notches in his script-writing belt. He also co-wrote Under Seige 2, not to mention his experience from Felicity should coincide with the protagonist’s strong, feminine description.

You probably didn’t hear about a little film called Cloverfield, which was released in January. It was but a blip in the public consciousness, and it certainly did not break any box office records.

Which is why it’s hard to believe that Paramount, a movie studio full of intelligent accountants and businessmen, would embark on something so daring as a sequel to Cloverfield. After all, if no one saw the first one, why would the next one be a more bankable commodity?

Well, it must be a bold, audacious bunch over at Paramount, because the studio is already in early talks with director Matt Reeves to work on the sequel, Variety reports. The project may be the next for Reeves, unless he directs The Invisible Woman first. We here at Paste wish he and Paramount the best of luck with this risky, ambitious endeavor.
