Speaking to MTV on the red carpet of the National Board of Review, Director J.J. Abrams spoke a bit about the sequels to both Cloverfield and Star Trek. Abrams reminds us that he’s not going to give too many details on either at this point and that he definitely has a sense of humor.

About the progress of a Cloverfield sequel – Abrams said,

“We’re working on something right now with that and again, you know, it’s early stages.”

On the sequel to Star Trek – Abrams said,

“the [‘Star Trek’ sequel] is really all about the Gorn.”

He said grinning,

“We just thought it would be fun… to go Gorn”

At the end of the interview, Abrams had one last joke,

“I can’t believe you didn’t go for ‘Children of the Gorn’.” I would have went for it.
