WHAT IS J.J. ABRAMS SMOKING?
Although it hasn't been officially announced in the trades, I've received a scoop that J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company is currently filming the sequel to their big monster movie, Cloverfield 2: Smoke in a location very different than that movie's New York Hawaii! Apparently, the story this time around concerns a movie crew filming on a remote island that finds themselves besieged by a mysterious giant monster seemingly made out of black smoke. Like Cloverfield, the movie will be the found footage after the fact, filmed by the cast and crew during the carnage. My source wasn't able to get directly on set, but recognized some of the actors for sure (raven-haired action star Kate Beckinsale, chubby Latino funny man Horatio Sans, Harold and Kumar star John Cho and Devon Aoki from Sin City), and was able to identify and remember most of the other cast based on other things they've done. That John Cho is also playing Sulu in Abrams' Star Trek makes this scoop a little more credible for me (though my source could know that is just trying to psych me out). From that, it seems likely that the rest of the ensemble cast includes Billy Boyd (Pippin from the Lord of the Rings movies), Scott Wolf (Party of Five), Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up), Eamonn Walker (Oz), Victor Garber (Alias), Laura Innes (E.R.), Tobin Bell (Saw) and Joseph D. Kucan (the Command and Conquer computer games). It sounds like the success of Cloverfield gave Abrams enough clout and a budget to go with a bigger cast this time around, though I can't quite wrap my mind around this smoke monster thing. Expect Cloverfield 2: Smoke to premiere sometime in February, 2009, I suspect.
Film success after "ER." Yay for Laura!
