Matt Reeves is in early talks with Paramount to direct a "Cloverfield" sequel and has also made a deal with GreeneStreet Films to direct "The Invisible Woman" reports Variety.

Timing of the projects will depend on how quickly Paramount can complete discussions with Reeves, producer J.J. Abrams and scribe Drew Goddard to scare up another monster tale for the "Cloverfield" sequel.

There's a good chance the sequel will be Reeves' next film, in which case he will direct "The Invisible Woman" afterward.

"Woman" is a Hitchcock-style thriller that probes the mind of a former beauty queen who turns to a life of crime to protect her family.

Reeves wrote the script and will produce with Abrams. GreeneStreet will finance "The Invisible Woman" and will sell overseas territories.
