CLOVERFIELD REMAKE STILL IN THE BALANCE

CLOVERFIELD director MATT REEVES is eager to make a sequel to the hit movie - but he is struggling to think of a storyline.

The cult horror thriller grossed more than $170 million (GBP115 million) worldwide despite being shot on a relatively low budget of $25 million (GBP17 million).

Fans are eager to see a second installment but Reeves admits he and producer J.J. Abrams are struggling to come up with new ideas.

He says, "At times it's gone dormant and then it's come back up again. There are a couple ideas that have potential but we haven't quite cracked it yet."

Reeves also revealed he may consider giving up the director's hot seat if he can't find a breakthrough.

He adds: "There was the thought that maybe we'd bring in some young exciting people and we'd produce their take.

"I don't know at this point... I think if we find something that would be incredibly fun to make and that we would want to watch then that's what would push it over the top. It's a weird puzzle."
