At the premiere of the film, Matt Reeves talked about possibilities on how a sequel will turn out if the film succeeds. According to Reeves, "While we were on set making the film we talked about the possibilities and directions of how a sequel can go. The fun of this movie was that it might not have been the only movie being made that night, there might be another movie! In today's day and age of people filming their lives on their camera phones and Handycams, uploading it to YouTube...That was kind of exciting thinking about that."

Huge Mutant Ant Colony

Australian scientists announced the discovery of a huge Argentine ant colony that stretches for more than 60 miles beneath the city of Melbourne. Monash University researcher Elissa Suhr said the pests' natural aggression toward each other had kept them at bay after they first arrived in 1949, but mutation has since allowed them to live in one huge colony instead of a network of much smaller, warring ones. "In Argentina, their native homeland, ant colonies span tens of meters (yards), are generally diverse and highly aggressive towards one another," Suhr said. She added Argentine ants are ranked among the world's 100 worst natural invaders, and they threaten the local biodiversity of southeast Australia.
