On January 30, it was reported that a sequel to the movie "The Clover Files" would be filmed, a full 13 years after the first release.
It is worth mentioning that the main creative lineup of the sequel is a big change, Paramount has decided to have Joe Barton of "Real Humans" written instead of the original Drew Gundam, and the original director Matt Reeves has also been replaced, only producer J. J. Abrams will be back.
Paramount seems to have made up his mind to make the sequel new, in addition to changing the main cast, but also changing the shooting style of the original, no longer using pseudo-found the form of the lost old film.
Some people feel that they like the shooting method of the first pseudo-documentary, but some people express their expectations for the sequel, thinking that the first shot is too shaky and makes people want to vomit.
The first "Clover Files" was released in 2008 and tells the sacrifices and choices made by five ordinary friends when they encounter a monster disaster, and the heroine of it, Liz Capan, was not yet famous for "Master sex", but had already made a name for herself with her acting skills.
The film cost $25 million, which is really not high for a sci-fi disaster film, but after its release, it achieved a double harvest at the box office with excellent quality and novel shooting methods, and made a lot of money worldwide at $172 million.
Because the results are too brilliant, in 2016 and 2018, two spin-off films were launched successively, "Clover Road No. 10" and "Clover Paradox", but neither word of mouth nor box office exceeded the previous works.
Now this classic IP ushers in its own official sequel, which can be said to be the grandfather of countless viewers, but replace the classic pseudo-documentary form, I don't know if it will be less flavorful? Looking forward to the performance of the film after its release.
