Het is alweer een jaar geleden dat we iets over Cloverfield 2 gehoord hebben. J.J. Abrams gaf toen aan dat de film nog in een erg vroeg stadium verkeert, en daar is blijkbaar vrijwel niets aan veranderd. Tijdens een interview ging regisseur Matt Reeves in op een vraag over de film.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any [news]," said Reeves. "We're just...you know, somebody was saying to me that I had said something about, 'well, we're gonna try and get the band back together.' And the band is still not back together, we're just still talking about getting back together. But we haven't really had a chance to talk about it. I mean, J.J. is eding 'Super 8' right now, he's got a very, very intense schedule right now that he's working on. And Drew [Goddard] is writing Steven Spielberg's next movie, I think, after the Abraham Lincoln film. He's doing 'Robopocalypse'. So everybody's very, very busy. But I'm sure we'll get together one of these days and sort of bounce it around until we come up with something that we get excited about. And if we don't, then we won't make it."

Het komt er dus op neer dat er nog geen idee is waarvan alledrie warm worden. Als dat idee er niet komt, zo stelt Reeves, komt Cloverfield 2 er gewoon niet.
