J.J. Abrams, co-producer of the hit monster film Cloverfield, tells Sci Fi Wire that a sequel may or may not happen and revealed that he's more inclined to do something [different] with his Cloverfield partners, writer Drew Goddard and director Matt Reeves, other than a follow-up.

Abrams added, "So my dream is to work with [Goddard and Reeves] again, but do something that's [new]. Having said that, Drew and Matt both, separately, have really good ideas for what [Cloverfield 2] could be. So I don't know. We'll see. I know the studio wants it." Well how much would that SUCK?!
